remember the #1 rule concerning 16 yr old first cars :::

A teenager will wreck their first 3 cars, usually within 1 yr.
1a) put them into something hard to break.  Try a 1992 Ford 150 pickup ...
good visibility, survives fender benders and deer real good ....    oh,
cheap, buy 2 or 3 in bubble packs to save time ....  in winter, maybe
anytime:: throw 400 lbs of sandbags in the rear end.

If they revolt, bribe them by adding a $3000 sound system.  After they break
all 3 pickups, let them buy their own car next, they develop much safer
driving habits by then.  like:  defense defense defense ....

just some thoughts, ken campbell, iowuh .... had 2 kids, believes in rule 1.
