It depends on the kid. I am almost 21 and I have never had one ticket or even been pulled over. Thats why I hate when people stereotype that all kids are bad and do stupid stuff. And if you were his age I am sure you wouldn't be turning that car down.

No one would turn down the car I don't fault the kid more the parents, but to each his own it's a free country if they want to buy him a car so be it. My kid will get a 500 dollar beater and the rest goes to their college fund. JMO

It doesn't have anything to do with jealousy. It has to do with common sense.
I presume you dont know the people.....maybe kid wont be able to drive it without his dad for a year or so....point is, its not such a good idea to assume. Nothing wrong with parents buying this car for their kids birthday, My parents bought it for my 19th Birthday at end of last year, and its just an awesome once in a life feeling, I'll do the same for my kids. Nothing wrong with this being a birthday present

congratulate dont complain or insult OR... just please, PLEASE dont say anything thing

Sorry guys, I hate to say it but if he deserves it and is responsible enough for it than its all good. I was 15 1/2 when I got my learners and that day me and my dad went to look at the 2002 Camaro but we got more incentives from Ford and I got suckered into a 2002 Mustang(brand new off of a truck) and I took care of that thing till I was about 19 and sold it for a brand new 2006 Civic the day they came out and at the age of 22 I am an owner of a brand new 2010 Camaro 2LT/RS and I worked my ass off for it because I was taught value of money.

Can you imagine that insurance bill? OMGWTF! My parents' biggest concern was just getting me something safe; airbags, etc. I had a '95 Lumina for my first car. I was hoping for a 4th Gen Camaro at the time, but no luck.

There's a huge difference between 15 & 19, just like there is a huge difference between 19 & 25 or 25 & 30.

Personally, I have no problem with a parent helping their kid get a car (it's what I plan on doing for my kids). I have a problem with mommy and daddy just buying 15 yr old little Johnny a $40,000 car. What does that teach him? That whatever he really wants will just be handed to him? Sorry kid, life doesn't work that way and you're in for a rude awakening sometime down the road.
