doesn't bother me one bit

What pisses me off more? When I see an 18 year old driving a Z that daddy bought him. I worked long and hard to afford a car like this and some parent is stupid enough to give their kid one? BS.

He worked long and hard to be able to buy his kid a Z. Why be upset?

I once met a 16 year old whose father purchased her a brand new 911 Turbo Cabriolet for her birthday. If you have the money, why not?

Because that's a good way to end up with a dead kid when they wrap the car around a tree?

Obviously this would not be my first choice as a new car for a 16-year-old, but, who knows if the kid has had extensive training with high horsepower machinery and is very responsible? I know the odds are slim, but it could happen.

Sons and daughters of famous race car drivers are often given high performance vehicles to drive at a very early age. They obviously have been properly trained to handle this type of car though.

No dude, he said "she". It's going to end in fire and tears.

Sorry but everyone Ive ever met that was given hand outs by their parents turned out to be a brat. If you dont buy it yourself, you dont ever really appreciate it.

My father has always had wealth, but Ive bought every single car since I was 16 without his help, I paid for my own college, and it taught me to appreciate all I have. When my kids are 16, Ill do the exact same thing.

I agree with this and it's probably true 99% of the time.

Completely disagree.

To this day my parents still spoil me.

Sure, I've bought and done things on my own (a home, my Z, vacations, etc.)

Do I not appreciate what I have? No, everything I have I appreciate and do my best to take care of. If/when I have kids, they will get everything (and more) that I received.

Sometimes I think I'm selfish/cheap when it comes to money, but it's more self preservation for things I want to do/have.

Of course I still ask for expensive stuff from my parents for Xmas/Birthday too.
