Because his parents didnt buy him a car
even if they tried to i wouldn't accept the money nor the request
it's because most 16 year olds are stupid about cars (i have enough evidence on my facebook wallfeed)
seriously who the forget takes a self-picture with 3 others in the car while your DRIVING. you would be surprised.
also if a 16 y/o bought their own car i would be okay with that, but seriously you should atleast get some driving experience under your belt before you can own a car and go crashing into others
