What is the average age for someone to own a car? When did you first get yours?

Question

I'm 18 and going to college. I've had several jobs since I was 14 years old and am stuck at home all day every day because I don't have a car... And my mom always uses hers.... Anyway, she refuses to get me a car until I "contribute more to the household" which I've been working on... So she told me to ask what the average age to own a car is... Please help me out! 10 points best answer!!! =]

Answer 1

Sixteen would be a good age to own a car. Just not an expensive one, the risks are too high. That's when I first got my car, and I have not had any problems so far. If you are going to college now, it is almost a requirement, and you should definitely own one.

Edit:  Ya, just show that you are responsible, and everything should work out. That is how it worked for me. I also took the initiative to pay for a lot of it.

btw...how did Zelda go last night?
