After that, have him finish high school first and get him a car, not a 2010 camaro, something cheaper. Such as a 3rd gen. Once he goes to college and finishes his sophmore year with good grades whatever he has made match it by 50%. So, he makes 10 grand, you match 5. That will be a good way to start him off and put money down. For the first few months before he can handle paying the monthly payments by himself, keep matching 50% of what he puts down. He will learn how to be a good driver and learn how to be responsible.

Get him involved in the SCCA. It will give him an outlet for speed in a safe outlet and he will learn the finer points of vehicle control. If you get into there autocross program it is relatively cheap. I believe membership is about $40 a year and you pay about $15 an event. If you don't want to join, you can still participate in the events, you just pay more per event and you don't get any trophies.
