Nowadays most kids expect their parents to provide their first cars and cover the insurance.
Then they wrap that new beamer around a tree acting like a hot shot.
The first car should be a beater to take the hits a young and inexperienced driver inflicts on a vehicle. Also teaches them responsibility and helps instill an appreciation for maintaining a motor vehicle and the costs involved.
An 85 Lincoln passed down serves all of these purposes well. If it isn't cool enough for you kid, he has two options.
1 - buy his own "cooler" vehicle.
2 - drive the Lincoln and suffer the setback to his not fully developed ego.
Kid doesn't know what he has in front of him. He can fit at least six of his pals in their and go party hopping, not to mention starting his own lawn-doctoring service. Subtract three and it's the instant teenage pimp mobile.
What more should he want?
