No harping here...just reality. I was very blessed to have 3 cars that my parents provided for me, but never anything new. The newest cars I ever drove that were "mine" was an '87 Pontiac Bonneville and an '87 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera S...I just want him to see how lucky he is...oh, and my parents wouldn't let me take a car away my freshman year of college. Imagine the horror of not being able to take my '66 Lemans away to college. LOL! My point is that I've been there, and I know it sucks to not be able to have a means of transportation when you're out on your own for the first time, but be thankful that you have such a sweet car! And it'll still be there when you get back...have fun, enjoy life, and learn lots!
