Miley Cyrus turned 16 a few weeks back, and like all sixteen-year-olds, she was kind of hoping for a car. This week she got her learner's permit, and guess what! Her mom totally gave her a Porsche!

OMG!!!

It's not like Tish took Miley to the dealership and BOUGHT her a Porsche; like millions of American moms before her, Tish, who recently got a new car herself, gave Miley her old car. But instead of a minvan with 100,000 miles on it and permanent juice stains on the seats, Tish's old car is a Porsche Cayenne.

As you can imagine, Miley is thrilled. She had told People magazine that her dream Sweet Sixteen gift would of course be "a car, but we'll see ... I don't want to name a certain kind. I want my parents to know that I'm happy with anything that they get me. I know I'd be really lucky to even get a car."

Friends say that Miley is allowed to drive the Porsche to work when Mom is with her -- she only has a learner's permit, after all. And needless to say, she loves her new ride, even if it's really an old ride.

While it's commendable that Billy Ray and Tish didn't splash out on a new car for Miley, there's still something about a kid's first car being a Porsche that makes me roll my eyes just a bit. Because a hand me down Porsche is still a Porsche, after all. Then again, Miley Cyrus isn't exactly your normal teenager.

I wonder if my kids will love their juice-stained minivan as much?
