For my eldest child we for $ 1,000.00 bought her a used and solid 144 Volvo
that gave her immeasurable service even though we had to repair it after she
hit a guard railing. For our third child we for $100.00 (yes $ 100.00)
bought him a 145 Volvo he wrote off after hitting an open metal gate set at
such an angle it couldn't be seen at dusk: then for $ 200.00 a big Chevrolet
4 door he drove all over upper North America with his pals for two years.
For our second child we for $ 100.00 bought a big old North American Crew
Cab Pick Up that burned gas like crazy but in which he had tons of fun with
his pals carting their mountain bikes and ski's around; and a vehicle he
still fondly talks about. All three managed to have the, I told them,
predicted three accidents (of not terrible proportions) before they
smartened up. Before which they exclaimed oh no we won't Dad ! Moral? Get
them a solid used vehicle because they will prang them! Mine all emerging
unscathed because of the solidness of the vehicles!
