Get the kid a Corolla, etc. if you desire, but kids who have skin in the game with their car will be more likely to preserve their own skin IN their car...YMMV. |
I'm about the same age. Guess we were just unlucky, as I visited friends in the hospital, and lost a few classmates by college graduation.
I have too much invested in my kids, for a DD I'd want them to have modern crash safety.
Daughter was in a multicar accident on 95 in december. Not a scratch, newer Honda Fit.
