1st car.
I said no.
Dad was a little shocked at first and said "really?"
Yup, too much car for a 16 yr old.
"But he's an A student"
Yeah, maybe, but that doesn't change the car and the fact he is an inexperienced teenager.
He went straight to full price, no haggling, thinking that would do it.
Nope, not selling it to him, sorry,
Someone had to be the realistic adult and that thing as his first car was a bad idea.

I also realized that the old '74 911 (from my high school years) was my dream, not my daughter's. She liked posing for photos in front of it, not driving it. A nice little SUV (like my wife's 4Runner) was the bomb in my daughter's high school. I bought the wife a new car and kept the old 911 for myself. It was just a $5K car back then and I would never have bought one today, so it worked out well (got me started with Porsches).

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
