A friend of mine just bought his 16 year old son a car. He spent much of the winter taking him out looking. He kept saying a very wise thing.
"I'm gonna let him get whatever he wants even if it is the biggest piece of crap on the planet because my parents got me a nice safe practical car that I went out and trashed within 6 months. Had they let me get what I wanted (a Camaro) at the time I would never have killed it".

Needless to say he just bought his boy a Ponticlad Grand Am. I'm sure the kid is thrilled. I say take the kid shopping and let 'em get what they want with the understanding that you're paying for the car. They will pay for anything and EVERYTHING it needs.
