First off, we had both of our kids be 18 before driving, a bit more mature, and responsible. They both had part time jobs and we helped both of them get a first car, with a loan contract to pay back, but they had to have money for their own insurance policies. We’re they happy about this? Of course not they were 16 and full of themselves, but by 18 they had both seen many of their friends be involved in crashes, fender benders, and blown up engines. So by 18 they were a bit more ok with our rules.

My Sons first car was a Ford Taurus SHO, the neighbor had sitting in his front yard.
My Daughters first car, a 95 Firebird a local car dealership had.


Being a car family, they both were accustomed to what it takes to turn a wrench. Here she is with her first car and wrenching on it, and with her current WS6 TA and wrenching on it recently.
