I got my youngest a 92 Mazda wreck, for free, that a friend fixed the body
work on to make it pass inspection. My eldest got my mom's car an 80's
Plymouth Champ with the extra shifter for sport/economy. My dad gave her
that, and she crashed it with him in the car (not her fault).
The youngest learned to drive in the Midget as it was the only car I have
and she lives with me. She did practice on an automatic in her mom's car,
but that was just to learn not to hit the brake with her left foot ;-)
Keeping them from diving my baby - yes, letting them drive the new stuff?
Not till they can afford it on their own.
And they both went through Driver Training School. Not Bondurant, that is
reserved for me ;-)
