I’m talking middle of the road, not Maaco, and not Counting Cars Customs.

Looking at a first car for my daughter. Something fun, but still a beater.

you cheap frick! don't you know every kid is entitled to a brand new car on the day they are eligible to get their driver's license and that the new car must be presented in a cool and unique way for them to find it?

ETA: i.e., like follow the trail of the travel ball rings and/or participation trophies

It know you are being sarcastic, but every kid’s first car needs to be a beater.

My first car cost me $45. It was a 1977 Dodge Colt. The clutch went out, guy didn’t want to spend money to fix it, so he gave it to my dad. I bought the clutch assembly for $45, prefect car for 2 years.

Big tipping risk with those. Weld some outriggers on it for her.

only partially because what I posted is the norm these days, kids expect it, feel entitled to it, and a lot of the "keep up with the Jonse's" parents succumb to the pressure, if a kid has a specific need to have a car the second they get a driver's license then they should be prepared to buy it, insure it, and maintain it

Wasn't that a Toyota Corolla with Doge Colt emblems?

A guy I used to work for bought his daughter a beautifully restored '65 mustang for her 16th birthday. She hated it. He traded it for a cute little Nissan like all her friends and she was happy.

Just spray it with bedliner.



Tracker is a pretty dope car for a 16 year old. A Wrangler or Jetta sends the wrong message.
