He keeps talking about how great it will be like he will be driving all the time. I had to remind him that he can still ride the bus (save gas and money) unless he has something going on after school. And that he's going to have to have a part-time job to help pay for whatever vehicle he can afford with gas and insurance. He has a good head on his shoulders, he just needs reminded of things once in a while.

They all need reminders from time to time girl
One thing i'm very grateful for is that in Europe, kids can start learning for their drivers licence at the age of 18.
A man at the garage was telling us that he's friend has a son, who also just started driving, he's father warned him after he got he's first speeding fine, that after the second speeding fine he would get he's car back in a box shape.
Sure enough a week later he got he's second speeding fine, so the father took he's car to the scrap yard and had it crumbled into a box. He told he's son, he rather see he's car in a box then having to bring him away in a box.
