    Because this post got a lot of flak, I just thought it was mildly interesting and some more posts on the sub would be great for engagement. I love cars to my bone and I want to see more activity on here. Could I have chosen a better article? Definitely.

    Am I missing something? This community is about cars, for car enthusiasts. I was a huge car enthusiast when I was a teen. I had a giant list of cars I wanted. No I couldn’t afford a new car, yes I got a hand me down shit box, but I loved it.

    This is their hobby. For those of you down voting and talking about making them bus, or bike, you’re being negative about their hobby. Stop. Depending on where they live, they might not have that choice, or maybe they do bus or bike, but want a car too.

    This community is for car enthusiasts.

      Is buying a new car for a teen a “hobby”?

      While this may be a car community I think the article is a bit tone deaf because most people think buying a brand new car for a teen is a bad idea on top of the fact that buying a brand new car for a teen is an incredibly expensive venture that most people cannot afford. Not only is the car expensive but insurance premiums on a new car with a teen as the driver are going to be outrageous.

      You don’t buy halo or specialty cars that enthusiasts desire for teens, either. At least not for average families.

      So this community may be for enthusiasts, but IMO I don’t think this article fits on multiple levels.
