Most parents think a dream car gift is just the sticker price. That is mistake number one. Mistake two is assuming 21 means adult rates and adult responsibility. Mistake three is believing the surprise video ends the cost. Heidi Klum just proved how viral that fantasy can be, and why the real bill starts after the cameras stop.
