for my son. I forgot to post up the update of my car search. Here is what I found. As Brody can attest to this, Hunter was beyond stunned when he figured out that this particular car was now his. I want one.

Wow! Hunter's one lucky guy!

Nice car Steph, I'm trying not to see tickets in the young man's future. :erm:

He sure is and thanks! I made him a binder for his maintenance records, receipts, and my rules. He is on my insurance and right now the title is in my name. If he gets a ticket, he forfeits the use of the car because I will cancel his insurance for the duration of the six month term or two months, whichever is longer. And he has to pay for his own insurance, so a ticket would be very bad for him.

I got a 1978 Mercury Cougar for graduation, free and clear. It was cheap due to the previous owner's untimely demise. Mine was gold though, not brown. After I traded it in, I missed the V8.

The car is, for the most part, a gift from my dad. My job was to find it, register it and hide it for a few days.

I think you are required to keep all licensed drivers in your household on your policy (unless they have their own).

Nice ride, for a kid. Hopefully he'll be careful. When I was that age, we weren't!

It would have been much better if the person who gave it to him had taken care of the car, which she didn't. I have made sure Hunter has car supplies, including stuff to clean it with. :) The care requirements have been specified in the 'instructions' I gave him, and I think he likes this ride much better.

Mine was a '68 Ford Cortina in 1973. It was so bad I never bothered to take a pic of it.

Can't be 100% sure any more but IIRC this was mine at 15. No, it didn't look anywhere near this nice. :lmao:

That's it, but mine was black and the steering wheel was on the correct side. That must be a pic of the British version. Ugly and didn't run often enough.

RMH: just the V6. A GT would have been a bit too much car for him and too expensive anyways. It is pretty zippy and fun to drive.

Chris: you win for coolest car.
