<VV> RE:VV 15 years first car

[Marc Sheridan]

Rod,
First of all, I am not a dad, so you really didn't ask my opinion, but 
I'm going to give it anyway :o).

Alesia, has a very good point. If she doesn't want a Corvair, or any old 
car, you could be in trouble giving her one.

On the other hand, if she is really into old cars, and more importantly, 
Corvairs, AND you are an expert Corvair mechanic, AND you can do body 
work, AND this can be a project that the two of you can work on  
together, then get her a Corvair.

If none of the above applies, and she is a typical teenager, then she 
will want lots of bling. However, I've heard from others that a used 
American luxury car is a good first car. It has large mass for crash 
protection, it takes lots of gas so it limits her travel :o), and they 
don't cost a lot.

Good luck.
