When I was 15 my brother told me that if I could get the car in the back of his yard running I could have it. Went and bought a new battery ($5 or so) and a few gallons of gas and after a few hours work it was driving.
Turned 16 a few weeks later and had a car. It was a 1950 Mercury two door hardtop and I was in heaven.
These kids need to get back in touch with reality and the parents with them. The way they are being spoiled is doing no one any good.

PS Wish I had the car back today!
