Wow. I must be old. My folks would have laughed at me if I asked them to buy me a car as a teen. I didn't get my first car until I graduated from college. My parents bought it, but I had to pay them back. In essence, they kept me from having to pay for interest on a loan. I paid for the insurance, gas, and upkeep, of course. (Only I didn't know you had to change the oil regularly. I drove that car 105,000 miles and I think I only had the oil changed about 5 times, lol!)
