Spoiled Teens - Am I Just Getting Old?

Somebody tell me if I'm out of line here. Today I met my parents for lunch at a Quiznos near Wichita's premier private school. As in, no way I could afford to send my kids there (not that I want to). Obviously we showed up at school lunch time because there was a constant stream of kids through the store. Seen with kids driving just over one lunch period:

C7 Z06 Corvette with carbon-fiber front splitter and mean sounding exhaust
Lexus ISF
Toyota FJ Cruiser with aftermarket wheels, ARB bumper and winch
Brand new Civics, nearly new BMWs and Mercedes products

Seriously, WTF? Especially the first two. Who would buy their HIGH SCHOOL age kid a 400+ HP car? Or am I just grumpy that I can't even afford an ARB bumper for my Land Cruiser?
