This particular video may not be for you. I am putting up this longer version of our day so his aunts, uncles and cousins can share in his big moment. Plus I always try to draw them to Hive.
Last post on this topic, I told you how it happened. The why it happened is a bit more interesting.
Big Brother
My youngest, featured in this video, has always lived in the shadow of his big brother who is three years older. Nobody picked on him in school because his brother was there. Every time I went to teach 
Games
Both boys loved Steam and have played thousands of games. They would spend the entire day on the computer. At first, they would take turns and set timers for equal time. Then I got them each a computer and they could play at the same time. I was thinking that they would use the time they did not spend waiting - then have more time to get out and play in the sun and fresh air. I was wrong.
Girls
My older one has now moved on to a serious relationship and only has time to game late at night and only if he is not too tire. The youngest wanted to buy more realistic interface devices for his computer (to meld with it?). He also has a girlfriend but they both like games and will sit for entire days doing nothing else if allowed to.
Driving
In the old days, I would plan trips to the beach for no other reason than to get them away from the computer screens. It always worked and we made some great memories - see my beach series about a month ago. Last Sunday, I gave
I believe he was burying himself in games because the objective of getting a car seemed unattainable to him. He knows about Hive and that there is money (and friends) to be made here but if the only goal you have is a USB Steering wheel for your racing game, then you do not really have any reason to post and make money after you obtain that input device.
He came home from "Driver's Education" seeing his input devices as weak and childish. This was a reality check, but a good one. So many in life have a reality check when they over spend or over do it at the bar. This one is good because he will now put away childish things, or at least put them in their place. He is now loaded with questions about the steps to getting a car, insurance costs, taxes, licensing, etc.
I would guess that the driving populations here in Argentina is only about thirty percent or so. I know very few people with cars. The government requirements, hoops you need to jump through that is, are many and layered.
Let's say you have cash. You see a new Mazda and pay for it at the show room. You do the paper work and then go home in a taxi. You can have your new car (the one that was in stock) after six weeks to two months, while that car goes though the registration process, getting its papers, taking its test to become legal.
For my own freedom, I drive vehicles that cannot be stolen (unless you can run away while carrying sixty pounds), need no licensing, insurance, helmets, or parking garages.
There are a lot of hoops, yes. But if
In the video, you will see a boy, who is of legal age to drive, learning what it is like to pilot a vehicle. In three hours, he went from a nervous wreck trying to think, navigate, steer, clutch, shift, and brake all at the same time into a young man who could manage all of them well, and smoothly.
At the end of the video, you see the transformation taking place as he does his first solo! Me? As a pilot, I know this is an important step - getting in and going it alone. He had trouble with the hand brake, he also stopped looking backwards before the car had stopped while backing up, but he drove well and brought it back safely. The car owner was very worried that he would drive onto the highway and be gone. Most kids in this country would, then they would laugh about it. My boy respects parents, rules, and other's property.
His second solo and subsequent laps around the entire field are not in this video. There is not much to see, he is driving away and gone then comes back several minutes later. I an indebted to my neighbor, who hung with me through a nervous time for me. He also cooked a delicious "Asado" while my son used his car. I paid for lunch and gas, but he cooked the food and washed the car afterwards.
