All the more reason the next generation is the way they are. Dont put in the hard work to deserve the things they get. Then just pass it along without any thought. I would be furious if I were in your shoes. Not because it's a turdcel but because it was a project you poured your time and resources into and the kid was ungrateful.

Sorry my Gnarls rant is over now.

Yeah I would say that too, but I have a lot of experience with that generation. Each week I teach a new group of 8-12 students in "That age group" and I would have to say that even though they do things very differently, they always surprise me and they give me hope. I knew that when I gave the car to my nephew that there was a very good chance that he would either give it away or wreck it. regardless he needs to have the opportunity to make his own decisions and experience the regret that comes with making decisions. He lost his dad (my brother) years ago to cancer so I felt the need to offer him his first car. I just need to let go of the hopes that I had for him and the car.
