Make him drive the family to church every sunday for a year. After he's accepted Jesus as his lord and savior buy him a new car.

Stop giving him cars because this may only continue. You need to have a long talk with him saying how his driving is reckless and he can get hurt. Then you should wait through a period of time, like a month or two without him driving. Then you give him a car that isnt too expensive so if he totals it again you just take his lisence/permit away. Good Luck.

First off, the kid obviously needs to take a driving course. Once that is completed, he needs to get a job and help pay for his own car. He needs to learn a little respect for personal property and actually earning the right to have a car will do just that. Not only will this help potentially save your son's life, it'll make him a much more productive and respectable human being. The world doesn't need anymore spoiled brats!
Sometimes being his best friend, is not being his being his best friend if you know what I mean. Your kid needs a Dad, not another buddy.

You bought your son 4 cars... are you crazy?
Yes stop, stop now, do not pass go, do not collect another car.
Make him work for it and make sure the next one is an old junker that he has to maintain but make him buy it.
He will never understand the value of a dollar if you just buy everything for him. But actually it's probably too late, he's too old and now is just one more spoiled, semi adult who will act like the world owes him everything because his daddy always bought him everything.
Jeez people wake up, teach your kids right, make them cut grass, deliver news papers or something.

It shows that your son is not ready for the responsiblity associated with driving. He does not view the cars as valuable to him because he would be more cautious with them. It also speaks to the value he places on his life, because he would be more careful with that as well. Luckily, he is still alive for you to ponder the idea of purchasing him another car. However, I do not believe that he is ready. He is reckless and careless at this time in his life. He would rather show off bad driving skills than appreciate having such a responsibility as car ownership. What consequences does he have after wrecking another car?

you should've stopped buying him cars after the first accident. If your son needs a car tell him to find a job and pay for it himself, its about time people now a days learn some responsibility

Four cars totalled is alot, don't you think? If he is a young/new driver maybe you should consider having him go thru a driving school course. It's a miracle he hasn't been hurt along with the vehicles. Best of Luck & I hope he remains a healthy young man

You have to stop buying him cars!! He's probably out with his friends, driving recklessly because he knows daddy will get him a new car anyway. I'm 18, and just got my car STOLEN, and my parents won't buy me a new car =\.
I think you need to stop spoiling him....Get him an MTA card or a bike!

I think the parents are responsible growing up their child. Now it's their way how the full fill the responsibility. You simply can't stop suddenly what you are doing for years. The effect will be bad. Restrictions will cause harm to your child. The best way is start a new process of growing up you child from today. Be his best friend and make him understand what you want.
Again, you are responsible for what u did to your child. Now cure it. It's not his fault. If you realize that you'll be able to find the answer and act accordingly.
