Well, if he has a job, why can't he buy his own car?  And insurance, and gas,
and oil, and, and, and.  When my boys were old enough to drive, I offered a
free monthly bus pass for transportation if I weren't available.  Beyond that,
they were on their own.  Being normal young American males, they cajoled their
friends into rides, walked, biked, and did everything else they could to avoid
the bus.  The cost of a car was far more than they were willing to spend (cut
into the games and CD purchases, for sure).  If it wasn't worth their
time/money, it sure wasn't worth mine.
