I'm kinda young and have owned two cars so far, i paid for both of them myself by working hard.
If my father had just paid for them both, sure i would have been real happy but i wouldn't understand the true value of working hard for your first big purchase, the very thing that gives you independence and freedom... when dad buys that for you it aint the same as when you buy it yourself
Plus its green...he wanted black!

Interesting advice coming from a couple of kids who clearly have never raised children to adulthood, and definitely know nothing about my boy. My son is an honor roll kid headed for college and has excelled in sports for many years. The boy knows about hard work, honor, value, respect and what it takes to succeed. By the way, parents who wait until their child is 17 to try and teach lessons of value and hard work have missed the boat by about 16 years or so. And to try and teach that lesson by having them buy their own car... My guess is they will end up being the type of person who comes to a website and attacks a good father and his son. Shame on you. 
For the rest of you who know what it takes to be a parent... it's been 24 days and he's still smiling. Me too!
