I think parents should buy cars for their kids as long as they can afford it... Not saying it should be a porsche but at least a decent car. If your son really asked for a porsche he must have a serious reality problem unless you are pretty wealthy. I think most teenagers would be happy with any car so long as it's a decent one. |
I agree 100%. I was given a car for my 16th and plan to buy my daughter one when she turns 16. I don't see anything wrong with it if you can afford it and your child is responsible and trustworthy enough to own a car.
As far as a Porsche, surly he was joking? Maybe he thought he's shock you by asking so when he asked for a Toyota it would sound very reasonable.
