Just make sure that this is the last car you are going to give to her. My sister who is in Grad school now and is going on 25, VERY SMART, can't drive. My Old man just gave her another car lucky number 4. The car she had looked similar to yours except the driver side mirror would always be dangling by the control wires, and the leather interior was thrashed by her 800 lbs rotwheiler horse thing a majiggy that left a smell remenicent of an uncleaned kennel. Based on my experience with two sisters (not to say all girls are the same) that have been threw your daughters age group they seem to change styles by the week, but the driving record hasn't changed much in 8 years. Good luck, be patient, and teach her to look before she goes. Oh and for what it is worth some of the best lessons you learn as a kid are the ones your parents are there if you get in over your head, but when these small pronlems arise I think she should start taking at least some of the burden off of your shoulders. Maybe something like paying the increased amount of insurance premiums that you have to pay. Personal responsibility is something we all have to learn and it is better to ease into it now than to get hit hard when you move out on your own.
