[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS got his license in November. We “gave” him my old car (2012 CRV) and I got a new one for myself. Quotations around gave because really it’s ours and he is just allowed to use it. This — or buying a 7-10 year old used sedan — seems to be a pretty common path in our MC bordering on UMC area. But public transportation is very limited, walking to practice etc. just isn’t realistic, and I think it’s more for the parents than the kids than anything. It’s nice not having to cart kids around. *shrug*[/quote]

This is our plan in 3 years (same 2012 CRV, too).  But, lately my spouse has been having qualms about our DD driving a car without all the safety features that have debuted since 2020.  I replied that the solution is very simply - we can afford one new car.  If you want that to be our DD's, and you continue to drive the CRV, that's fine with me.

FWIW, I split the cost of my first car ($2100) with my parents - I'd saved up since I was 14 for it.  A Datsun 210 (not Nissan, Datsun).  I used to say the car was missing 70 - anyone know what that means?  [/quote]
