Default Spoiled kids.

I work for a school district as a network administrator and there are some pretty spoiled kids out here. The parents practicly buy them anything they want and I saw this sitting in the kids section fo the highschool parking lot the other day.

Holy crap. I pray to god that the kid took it without their parent's knowing. Otherwise I want to b*&@#slap the parents for being that moronic.

I don't see why thre is anything wrong with parents buying their kids nice things. My parents did. And I turned out to be a very well adjusted contributing, working, school attending member of society....

9 times out of 10, a kid will appreciate things more if he/she has to pay for it themselves, and appreciate the value of money later in life. That being said, there's no proof here that kid didn't buy that mustang himself, he could have a side job, and making payments. Good on him if he is, bad on the parents if he isn't (especially an irreplacable car like that, there's only so many left in the world)

I agree with Tik, it's not the outcome (this or that kind of kid) that is really pushing folks' buttons with this one, it's the INPUT of values that we wonder about. Anytime someone talks about "spoiled kids" they are always implicating (what they take to be) the parents' lack of good judgment in meeting their child-rearing responsibilities.

Also, like Tik, we don't really have enough info to tell what's going on in this kid's life (assuming, in fact, it IS a kid who drove it to school--which it might not be, could be the parent who came in to pick something up and couldn't find another parking spot, is going to leave in a minute, etc.). I noticed also what looked to be a 67 Camaro in the background. Maybe these young guys are friends and are into fixing up the classic cars with the help of one or more adults? There's no way of telling what the deal is here.

Best,
