Man, I can't even fathom that. When I was a kid, I wanted nothing more than a driver's licence. To me, the ability to control where I was going on my own terms was a proxy for freedom, something I think many kids lack to a great extent. For my 16th birthday, my father split the cost of a 1983 RX-7 with me ($900 in 1998!), which was the happiest day of my life to date. The down side of having a sports car at age 16 is that it took me less than three weeks to total it.
