"Running on Empty" is a novel about a teenager who crashes his dads Volvo into his garage. His dad then tells him that he has to pay for all the damage done to the car and garage with the money he had been saving up to buy his dream car a Mustang Cobra. Even with all the money he had saved up it did not cover all of the repair bills, so he was forced to get a job to pay off the rest of bills. He starts to resent his father for making him pay for all the repair bills. He then starts to get into arguments with his dad and skips school. His dad then tells him that he is going to have to clean up his act because he does not want to get a bad reputation because of his son. His father is going to campaign to become a politician soon.
My question to you is what would you do in his situation.
