Today, my 16 year old could care less about driving or getting a car. Her socializing with friends, outside of school, is in large part virtual. That trend is generational on a global scale.

Same here. I was waiting outside the DMV before they opened on my 16th birthday. It was all about the freedom and independance with me too, which makes me wonder when exactly did the younger generation(s) stop caring about that? It's hard to believe that social networking and the latest app for your smart phone is more appealing to the younger crowd these days.
