Where I grew up, most 17 year olds had cars. You can't exist without a car in the suburbs, and as soon as you can drive, you get one. Opens up a lot of employment opportunities, and not having one used to be a social death sentence, although these days kids are probably too busy on their phones to even realize they've turned 17.
