[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 763435, member: 60724"] Paul, Interesting story. I sense that more and more "kids" today seem to not have much respect for property (things); theirs or someone elses. When I started driving, first my folks cars, I was scared to death that something might go wrong, that I get a flat, or a fender bender...whatever. I was scared not because I would get punished, but because I knew that when that vehicle was in my care anything that went wrong and needed fixing was coming out of my pocket. I started working at 12yo for spending money. When that happened I never, ever asked my folks for money again. So, when I started driving, and started buying more expensive toys (cars), I took care of them. To this day when I trade in or sell cars we've had for years I get comments on "how clean they are inside." I hate car dummy lights as much as the next guy, but I know ignoring them typically costs you more. I wonder what your grandson was thinking? Get there at all costs? Drive it until it explodes?
