I 100% agree except for the fact that my parents never bought me a car. I'm only 24 and these "entitled" kids drive me crazy. Every car I've had I bought with my own hard earned money. Gas, insurance, repairs, etc. all paid by me since the day I had my learners permit. If I didn't have money for gas, tough, I was walking. Taught me how to manage my money. At 16 do I wish my parents bought me a car?? Absolutely. However I appreciate that they made me work for everything I have. They made me who I am today with their great parenting. I take care of my stuff because I know that it was my money that got it for me in the first place. I will raise my kids the same way if I ever have any.

And, for an adult to approach a spoiled teenager in CA is simply foolhardy... I'd find myself locked up for harassing a minor if I did anything less than give him $50 as a gift.

There's a million things that "could" be done... but my guess is that the only realistic solution is going to be a pile of tickets, or a crash to stop this kiddo.
well that fact that there were no adults at that table.....you did the right thing.......Its water under the bridge, but the only thinjg you really could have done would have been to call 911 at the time....moved over and gotten his plate number.....but like I said, its water under thed bridge.


At this point.....I would just solice in the fact that "KARMA IS A BIT*H".....somewhere, sometime.....he WILL get his.....and pray he doesn't take anyone else with him.
