If your brother and his wife can afford it, what is your problem? You are here, fuming, ranting and venting about it to total strangers!
You are the one with a serious issue; not the 17-yr old. And you didn't even have a convertible while growing up so that only proves that owning a convertible at 17 is no guarantee of how you will end up!!!
I think somebody is jealous. MYOB. Did your brother ask you to pay for the car?
Jealous ? that is cute what are you 12 or something ...No it was discussed at a family dinner with which my brother was present and we were all talking about it the kids were not there of course but my brother asked everyone to weigh in .

Wow you are very judgemental are'nt you I would said you are the one with sour grapes over something ...hmmmm
I told my mother I think they are showing off and she agreeded with me and she said that it was foolish of him (my brother) and his wife to buy a 17 yr old a convertible sports car the girl is not working and all she does all day is go to school and hang out with friends . She is not being taught any responsibility and when my mother talked to my brother about it his response to my mother was well she has plenty of time to be an adult and worry about bills and working right now I want her to be a teenager and have fun .. my mother and I were both floored . It is not as if this kid is responsible or does anything to deserve such a present . Her grades are not even that good and she has no manners at all and I dont even think she said thank you for the car .I think my brother and his wife are going to be sorry in a few years raising her and her brother so spoiled . Her brother on the other hand gets barely anything but an atta boy and good job and this poor boy is always home doing the cleaning and the cooking sometimes too while his sister sits on her butt talking on her cell phone to her friends and her bedroom is beyond a night mare . I mean what do you all think bad idea on the covertible sports car yeah or nay ? All of the family on this side think it is a bad idea and that girl is a spoiled rotten brat and will continue to be .....
Not your child, your money, your home, your decision or your business. Stay out of someone else's family business and tend to your own family business where it is your child, your money, your home, your decision and your business.

I am 67 years old and that sounds jealous to me. No where there did you mention that your brother asked your opinion before you gave it. I think I was about 50 years old before I realized that some people seem to have a need to meddle in the lives of others and many times it is because they are jealous of the other person.
As for my husband and myself, we told our children that they could have a car when they paid for it; but other people have the right to raise their children the way they want to. If God had wanted me to raise their children; He would have given them to me.
Everybody makes mistakes when they are parents. We just all do the best we can and when I get perfect I will start telling others how they are supposed to do it.
Her parents are probably tired of driving her, or sharing their car.
Truly, it is not your business. They might have done it for the wrong reasons, but maybe they just like to make their children happy.
Time will tell if the kid turns out bad or not.

Not my/your kids, not my/your money, not my/your problem.

Their money, their child, their business.
