1959 VW for me...$158.00 dollars american.
Perceptions can be interesting. My daughter goes to a very good Catholic HS. She works her a$$ off, both at home and at school...she just finished, as I type this, mowing five acres of lawn. She also won the Future Business Leaders of America competition in Maryland and will represent the state in Cali in June.
She also won the Maryland Pony Breeders Championship on a pony we got for free and she trained. It looks like she'll get a equestrian scholarship in college (thank you Title 10).
She also gives riding lessons, mostly to young girls who absolutely adore her. It is something to see.
I made a deal with her: I'll handle a used FJ Cruiser for her if she pays the insurance and gas from her riding lessons and keeps mowing the lawn and working on the farm. So far on track.
Substance can be packaged in a nice car, friends.
