I'm 46 and have a teenage son who drives. While I do trust him and can afford to buy him a new car, I'm from the school of thought that any kid needs to earn his or her stripes. My first car was a 60's muscle car, but it was used piece of junk that I worked to buy with my own money.

+1 - I couldn't say it better. I'm 47 and have 3 teenagers. My first car was a 1968 Chevelle (got it in '78 or '79 rust and all). I worked hard for it and it meant a ton to me to know that I bought it myself and fixed it up the best I could as a 16 / 17 year old.
