I didn't feel right about just inheriting the X, so I asked my dad if I could work at one of the Hotels, and he agreed after a long talk about responsibility, and why I wanted to work. The main concern was if work would interfere with my studies. I now work on average 55 hours a week, and have 2 cars. The X5 doesn't get driven that much because of gas, and because of the people at my school (12 cars have gotten keyed in the last month alone), but my everyday commuter is a 2004 Jetta that use to be my brother's. I still can't belive that at 16 I'm paying for my own stuff, guess I'm getting ready for the "real" world.
Sounds like your parents raised you right. With many kids your age it's all "gimme gimme gimme" with no appreciation for where the $$$ come from.

It's great that you have a good work ethic but 55 hrs a week would definately affect your school work. Do you do your homework on the job? (So says the guy who's surfing X5World on the job ).
