How many parents bought their kid a new car back in the day? Pretty common now. The college parking lot is full of 85 to 100,00 dollar cars. Not much incentive to learn about or work on one of those!
when i was in high school in 1987 it depended what school you were at as to how many parents bought their kids cars.. my school (a Votech) mose had clapped out 60's and 70's cars that we worked on.. those that didn't do thei own wrenching drove used citations and crap like that.. now if you went by the high school i'd have gone to if i didn't go to votech the lot was full of new cars bought by mom and dad.. parents buying cars for their kids is nothing new. hell in another year i'll probably buy my daughter a car to drive.. i'd rather he concentrate on her greades, sports, sea cadets and working when she can... we keep her busy as hell and reliable cars ain't cheap any more.
