[quote=Anonymous]Interesting to read this.  One thing I regret is that when I was a teenager in private school, I asked a fellow student why her family drove a beat up old car to school.  She said she didn't know.  I was just curious but I was assuming that everyone had nice cars (I was a moron) and that there was some odd reason her parents weren't driving a nicer car.

I never did find out whether her family drove that car because they couldn't afford a nicer one or because they just liked that car.  But now we drive a beater - 12 year old Honda with 70,000 miles on it which runs great and I love it - and I totally relate to that family.  And I still wince when I think about asking that girl why her family drove that car.

Anyway all this is to say that even if your daughter is embarrassed by the car, she'll be okay.  If there are kids who are judging her (which I doubt there are), they're not worthwhile people to have as friends.  If there are kids who are idiots like I was at a young age, well, when they're older, they'll probably be wincing at the memory of saying something stupid when they were young.[/quote]
