a reasonable loan, he or she could get by with maybe one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty dollars a month in payments, and be just fine with the money and still have time to go out and get in trouble. So when it comes down to it, money isn’t a good excuse not to get a car, at least not the best of excuses.Even though a teen would most likely be able to afford owning a car, does he or she really need his or her own car? It is just an added expense that a teen would have when they could be saving their money instead. Also parents who own the cars that their children drive can control them better by taking away that car. But with owning your own car you get to work towards independence. A teen that has a car available to him at all times doesn’t have to rely on other people to get him where he wants to go. He can also get the payments of that car out of his way before he is ready to move on to college or a future job, and in turn he will have one less expense to worry about. It can also be a thing of pride for the teen that he could work on when not much else is going on. He can modify his car to suit his tastes and show off to his friends. He can also work on the engine and other parts that he couldn’t do to pop’s car. So it really couldn’t be too bad a thing if more teens owned the cars they drove. We could have more responsible drivers on the road, more teens that either will already be or will be getting ready for their futures, and more of those cars that you just have to look twice at. Not that there is anything wrong with teens that drive cars they don’t own, but there also isn’t anything wrong with teens that own the cars they drive....
