      My parents bought mine, which I inherited from my older siblings (we shared the third car). It was a pile of crap and was older than all of us kids. In fact, after the first and second ones died (never drove the first, only drove the second for a few months), the third (the one I used the most) cost $150…

      My siblings helped me with them though, so I think it counts.

    Problem: My car got stolen over a year ago.

      Yeah, what idiot blocks the charging port (cigarette lighter) and doesn’t give an alternative? That’s expected behavior if you think about it at all.

      Literally the first accessory I got with my dashcam was a lighter plug with 2 ports so both can be running at the same time.

    Anything expensive, a kid should earn. No way to appreciate value otherwise. First car? Kid has to earn it. Doesn’t matter if it’s a sweetheart 0% interest loan - they need to make payments.

      This is why I give my children a bill for the past year on each birthday, starting from their first. Those deadbeat ingrates still owe me hundreds of thousands.

        I have a friend who eventually had to go no contact with his parents because of his abusing mom. She then started trying to harass him with what looked like lawsuits to make him pay back all the money they’d spent on him over the years. Still had receipts from the Chick-fil-A they bought him for lunch when they moved him into college a decade earlier, things like that.
