Our son has friends with the "sick and tricked" trucks. He thought and still thinks they're cool, as 16-yo boys will think.

We were talking one day about their expenses -- thousands just for rims, not including tires ... how much one tank of gas costs ... the cost of roll bars, bumpers and fog lights they NEVER will use -- and when the numbers started adding up he didn't think they were as cool.

A former friend of one of our daughters drove, and still drives, a new BMW SUV and got it when she was 16.
