Agreed! Although there are some like myself who respect the things that they own, most kids that have parents like this generally are spoiled brats who have no sense of ownership. No matter how safe a car is, driving way too fast can kill people. There are two types of cars a teenager starting off should drive: a minivan or a slow grandma mobile. These tend to be safe, they use too much gas to allow the kids to drive too fast or too much, and there is no way you can impress your friends or be cool in either one of the two. The only exception is if the kid earned it through hard work or restoration in my bias opinion.

 

I am 16 and have a 1990 chevy 1500, 350 with flowmasters and runs good, and only got it for $800.

 

Remember to respect the vehicle and it will respect you in return. Congrats on your buy, it sounds like you got a good deal. Enjoy!

 

I think i did to, and i will respect it. most of the time.

 

No..........I can still remember when I was 16, and I wouldn't have bought it for me at that any......he will get into trouble with a car like that............He's to new a driver to understand the big picture.
