Think you summed up the problem in your first sentence. "19 yr old boy." They do some of the darndest things. My second son has reached that age. Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway. Oldest boy kept driving his car with a bad radiator fan instead of parking it until he could save up to buy the part. He's been on foot now for two years because he blew the motor. Youngest is heading down the same road. His car had a leaking head gasket. Put some stopleak in it to get by until he saved up enough to buy another car. That's been two years ago. Not a dime in savings. Lots of gizmos and gadgets purchased during this time. Asked him if he could ride any of these things to work/school when his car does go belly up? Oh well, his bicycle is still hanging in the shop. Sometimes they have to learn lessons the hard way. Guess if you were so inclined, you could help him out on the insurance, etc. if he helped out on the home repairs. I imagine that jobs are pretty scarce around you unless you go into the big city. Kinda long walk from your place. Guess the best we can do as parents especially when they reach that age is try to make sure they don't do anything that might kill them. The rest sometimes they have to learn on their own. Later in life, they will realize that dad wasn't so dense aferall.
