Its perception. If you give a kid a fast car he will try to impress his friends with it and good chance hurt himself or someone else. Not all kids are this way but most are.
If you give a open beer to a 18 year old and tell him not to drink it while your in the bathroom, 9 times out of 10 the kid will take a sip. I would never give a sports car to my kid at 16. Peer pressure is a bitch and its to much of a gambling with his life. A little civic or something until he gets use to driving then we can talk. He/she would have to prove to me they could handle it.

I let my boyfriend at the time play in a flood with it... Neither of us remembered about the "hot air intake" anndddd it hydro locked... Found it the next day in a puddle of oil and a rod in the oil pan :( sold her for $700! She turned into a rally car or something like that lol God to think if that car had more HP..... Not sure I'd be alive honestly. I've always had a led foot. Didn't get any better when I added motorcycles to my addiction hah

I know Shane because we live in the same (central FL area) and he is a nice guy. I feel sorry for all the haters out there that are jealous because someone as young as Shane got such a nice car for his b-day. so freakin' what? why hate on someone that you don't even know?

http://www.after-car-accidents.com/s...accidents.html http://www.squidoo.com/statistics-on...-car-accidents I can go on and on...there are plenty of facts pointing to not providing teenagers, especially at an early age fast vehicles.....Good for you that you haven't had an accident....no tickets awesome...doesn't mean you were a good driver necessarily, just means you were lucky and/or didn't get caught...

Also, as you have stated, maturity is not in direct correlation with age

You guys are ruthless, me at 14 had a full time job and school and couldn't get my parents to get me a car when I got my liscense
Tried for years and finally said if I don't get it myself ill never get one, so I went and got my car ordered and the rest is history But I also know what these guys are saying, my little cousin got a brand new M3 handed too him after his lease was up on his 335i He's never had a job but that's not my or anyone's choice to say he can't have those cars You guys are car enthusiasts that's why you are saying he's gotta earn or he's gotta get a beater and learn The point is that we know we respect the cars we know that we take car of our cars, just cause they are handed stuff doesn't mean they are not gunna be the same way I say give him a chance, like the dad in the video said good thing about giving big gifts is you can take them away |

This is why you should have to work and pay for your own car. I see all there girls at work buying there kids cars( talking like brand new Audi's and such) and they trash them or worse wreck em! You don't appreciate something until you have made a sacrifice for it.

If you start at an early age, things like take their toys away from them if they don't take care of them, and develop that type of attitude throughout their growth, they learn to respect and take care of things later in life. That can take the form of requiring the child to earn things as well, but it has to be a habit and character trait built on the way they were raised, and tailored to each individual child. Kids getting cars given to them and them not taking care of it has pretty much nothing to do with it being handed to them, and everything to do with how they were raised and how they observed their parents in action. |

im only 19 I have saved up for quite some time to be able to afford my Camaro. I really don't fall into too much pier pressure to do stupid stuff bc I paid too much for this car to either wreck it or loose my license speeding lol. when I have kids they will get an old beat up civic and help me do the maintenance on it like my old man made me do.
