[QUOTE="rktman, post: 638182, member: 18139"] We too gave our son a former family vehicle (nicer truck with higher miles). Within 18 months, it was in such bad shape that we barely sold it for scrap value. He's otherwise "detained" at the moment for stupid actions done with that vehicle. Looking back at my situation, it was a mistake to have given him a vehicle without him having to work for it in some way. We as parents want to give the best for our kids especially when we cant foresee the living hell these "difficult child"s will put us through (note I hate that term "difficult child", their actions are certainly not a "gift from God", but more of a "curse from hell" most of the times. PS, also gave ours a laptop. It was "stolen" within 3 weeks and he dropped out after 4 weeks since he would not attend classes. [/QUOTE]
