It is a dilema because now that we have kids I think of the wonderful stuff I can get them, but it never extends that far. I don't think kids should drive until 18 years of age, but that's besides the point. If I were gonna get my kids a car you better believe it'd be something like a Corolla or something gas efficient and economical.
When I grew up I got nice stuff, but on Christmas and it accumulated over the years. One year it was a TV, next year a CD player, next year a VCR, etc. Never randomly did my parents come home with a new sound system for me. : )
