Some people just can't relate and others are hating for other reasons but there is nothing wrong with what you have done as long as it is appreciated and deserved.
The uncalled for negative responses are obnoxious, IMO

Couldn't have said it better myself. Back in high school I had a fairly nice car myself as with many other kids at my school. (It was a fairly rich neighborhood). Obviously there were always idiots who would crash their cars due to stupidity, but my group of friends and I were what I consider very good drivers. No accidents, tickets ect. My father knew this and trusted me with a nice car and I turned out fine. I did my own maintenance on the car and washed it weekly. Even with a sports car at a young age, I saved my need for speed for the track, I wasn't some ******* teen driver, and I practiced safe driving habits. Sure I might not know the rewarding aspect of getting a car that i personally worked for yet since im in college, but I can say I feel very blessed to have understanding parents who trusted my driving. The statistics do not lie about the rate of accidents of young drivers but one cant assume that every teen driver is going to cause accidents. I don't know if its envy or not but yall should not bash on OP for his decisions, im sure he knows his son better than anyone else on this forum.
