Whats wrong with people being handed cars and material things throughout their life? A whole lot.
Case in point, my Fiancee's sister. She is 28, had her way paid through college, and her graduate school by her mother. She is married and cannot even stand on her own 2 feet. Im not sure how her husband puts up with her. everytime she has a problem, she calls her mother for money. and lo and behold, her mother comes through.
Lack of independance is a *****. and guess what? a majority of the time it carries on later in life.
I happen to know two 17 year old evolution owners in my area. Both are very fortunate and they KNOW it. They know they did nothing to deserve their cars. How were they paid for? My one buddy said he cashed his trust fund his parent had for him. If his priorities are for that, so be it.
In the mean time im enjoying MY piddly little 4g63T AWD car. Not as cool as you guys, but im trying to scratch and claw my way to the top. You 35-50 yr old evolution owners are my inspiration. Rock on!

Im 21, almost 22...and i am struggling to put myself through college. I have no father and my mother makes only 24k a year. I get some financial aid, but have to work to pay the rest off to go through private college. Im entering pharmacy school soon.
After im done, i hope i can afford an evo. Its THAT much sweeter when it happens.

No, no one else family income is my business. Am I bothered by teenagers owning evolutions? No, I could care less.
My whole point in posting my previous reply was to answer a question. I gave my opinion as I have seen through my eyes and experiences. Sorry if a young person like you takes offense.

I have never been given a car and I'm really glad my parents didn't give me one
I'm 21 now I'm repsoncible for myself and I can proudly say I worked for everything I have Evo included. I made it on my own and no one can take that away from me. Its almost like being given a trophie... without earning it what good is it?

Seriously. It's pretty well known that if you work for something, you'll come to appreciate it alot more. If you get handed free stuff all your life, then letting it turn to **** is probably alot easyer, becuase you just get more free stuff down the road.
Am I jealous of those that get one for free? not really. Now that I finally got my evo, after 6 months of penny pinching just for a down payment, I wouldn't go back if I had the chance just to get it for free. I'm too damn proud of myself where I'm at. If your parents buy you an evo, thats cool, but can you really drive around and say this is MY car? I don't care even if your parents put it in your name, it's not yours.
