Wow, interesting thread...........I did some pretty stupid things in my day in my old mans '88 4runner (buried it a few times :rolleyes: ) and I ripped around in my moms car when I was a teen cause I wasn't paying for it......that the key, I wasn't paying for it .......obviously this kid has some shred of common sense as he see's how stupid his actions were, but he won't know how really stupid they were until he actually has to pay for an enitre vehicle, repairs, the works........not get a hand me down, but fork out 30 or 35 K for it..........until then he won't care......just like most of us didn't care what we did to our parents cars.......I look back at what I did to my moms poor car and cringe ........
