Our 18 year old son's birthday passed on June 21st, and he never ever could tell us anything that he wanted besides a motorcycle, which is totally out of the question!! He already has a 2005 Mustand GT which costs us a fortune each month---he got that on his 17th birthday.
Any suggestions for a great gift for an 18 year old son??
THANKS A MILLION FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!!!

Once I had a friend whose father bought some racy car when he was 18 he smothered himself with another four friends in the car.
I am glad my dad didn't buy me anything when I was too young and stupid.

Look at an upscale toy store. or on the internet and find a toy motorcycle like the one he wants. Then give him a piggie bank with some quarters in it and say it is his savings for that motorcycle. Then get him a new outfit. Or a gift cerficate to the store that he loves the most. The best gift that you can give him is your time and attention.

Seems this young man is already in front of the field, how about a sense of humour check and buying him an essential piece of equipment. A Spider ladder for the bathtub.
Merry Birthday to your son, Regards J

ok so you think he is old enough an responsible enough to drive a hot car.... but not to ride a motorbike??? OKay each to their own...
ummmm geeee I thought the car would have been the 18th pressie.... cause it is usual that the 18th present really tops everything else... but since it would be really expensive to top a car as a present.... you could think of something that is more on a personal level...
try making a collage of his life.... you know like a biography part 1 the first 18 years....
you could make a picture collage...
a montage of all kinds of mementoes from his life..
or a video tale of his life.. get it professionally edited and have some of his favourite music from each stage of his life

Give him a portion of the monthly bill for the Mustang dam! Lucky spoiled rotten bastard! jeezez.
Ok, now that I got that out of my system..
It sounds like you have plenty of extra cash to spend on him.. so let me think.. hmmm., I'd suggest money for the down payment on a home or just a piece of land somewhere. He may not get it now, but will be more thankful than anything for that gift 10 years from now.

How about buy him a coupple of hundred hours recording time in a music stuido. This would be a well used, unexpected present. Even if he doesent play an instrument or sing it might open his world up to oportinuitys or a passion he didnt know he had. And if he wanted to use it, he'd probally have to make something of himself (rather than his parents/parent doing it for him).

Let me get this straight----A car with about 160 on the dash is dangerous, but a motorcycle is out of the question? Ummmm, a perfect birthday gift would be---------rational parents.

How about fuzzy dice to hang on the rear-view mirror...and some classified ads to help him get a job and pay a little of his own way! I don't know if he's in school or not, but it sounds like he needs to have something to help you out!

don't take this the wrong way but maybe a new sports car was not the best idea for a teenager but if you can trust your kid afford it then whatever good for you guys get him a gift card for a gas station so he will have gas for his car for a while or maybe car accessories new stereo or speakers or something like that

It sounds to me as if you are trying to buy your son's affection---a car that you obviously are paying maintenance and insurance on and now he wants a motorcycle! Perhaps you should rethink YOUR priorities and give more of yourself instead of things. I don't know your cicumstances, but 18 years of love and caring and a good home sounds sufficient to me. Love doesn't cost anything.
