A 16 year old should have a very reliable vehicle.
 
Like a 24 speed BICYCLE.

A bike? You got a bike? I was lucky to get a pair of tennis shoes.

I knew it was just a matter of time until we heard that one.
 
.... but I actually did that once when I got lost in a new neighborhood.

In college I walked up hill both way to class sometimes in a foot or more of snow.
 
I lived on the back side of a large hill, borderline mountain IMO, and the campus sat on the other side of the valley by that hill.
 
So I walked up the hill then down the hill then up the other side of the valley to class. Rinse and repeat for the afternoon.

As you can tell, I've got some real issues with teens and their so called driving/car "entitlement" that I keep hearing about.
 
We seem to be in agreement, again.
 
Heaven forbid if the child has their own car and it is used and even worse, the wrong brand. I come from the generation that if someone could see the label on your shirt, you were told that you had your shirt on inside out.
 
Too much …. too soon…. too bad for the parent/child now and later.

for my family, the 'entitlement' is a convenience. it saves miles travelled overall, and a lot of time for my wife and myself. my kids have after school activities that we don't need to drive them to and/or pick them up anymore.
my parents didn't make me buy my own car or pay for gas, but i learned about it when i needed to.
we have told our kids, 'your job is to get good grades'.
so far, so good.
