Default Earning a Privilege

I can tell you what my parents would have said about buying me a PWC when I was 16 or 19 years old. It would have been, "NO!"

I'm curious what kind of grades in school they need to have to earn this privilege and how much they will have to contribute toward the cost of purchasing these expensive and (most likely) un-needed little machines.
