Maybe if your kid was a little more impressionable he wouldn't be driving a BMW right now.
for his work he drives to Toronto a few times a week, it's about a 2 hour drive each way and lots of traffic so I understand why he likes that style of car. His company pays for most of maintenance including tires and he has a bumper to bumper coverage for 5 years. He plans to get a old car to stick in his barn to work on it once his kids are older....
