However, keeping straight A's in school shouldn't be an "achievement", nor should it be motivated by the possibility of a new car. Buckle down and get your shit done, simply because that's what you should be doing at 16.

I agree with this. I think attending school is at privelege and making good grades is something one should do for his/her own good, not just to earn a car as a reward.
