[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids got a 2 year old used Volvo SUV.

"Motor vehicle fatality is the leading cause of accident death among teenagers, representing over one-third of all deaths to teenagers."

We spend a lot of time worrying about a lot of things but statistically driving is the most dangerous thing your teen will do. I knew that I would easily give $30K to have my child back if they died so it was an easy choice for us. It wasn't a sacrifice for us but I would have gladly sacrificed to know that I did everything I reasonably could to allow them to become independent people but also not die. [/quote]
lol. love the insinuation that those of us who don't purchase our children new cars are letting them die. are you my 16 year old?[/quote]

You are hearing things that aren't there. I was simply explaining our decision making process. You may make a different decision. You'll also see that we didn't get a new car and if you put some effort into it there are a number of cheaper cars that receive high crash test ratings. I'd rather my kid drive a used Volvo than a new Prius but we live in the suburbs with curvy roads and lots of SUVs - your experience may be different. [/quote]

Prius has a really good crash rating. FYI[/quote]
