[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 414403, member: 6705"] Jena - I agree. Don't buy her a car. My parents [I]did[/I] buy me a car - sort of. It was a 1979 Honda Accord. Copper paint with autumn gold interior. AKA = UGLY. Rust everywhere. It ran well - and was good on gas mileage. As long as I had A's and B's, insurance was on them. One C? I had to pay the whole amount. I had to pay for gas, oil, etc. and oh yeah - it was in my Dad's name. I loved that little thing. I did not once get the keys taken away, nor did I pay insurance until I got my next car (in my name). If she cannot follow the simple rules you and the school have laid out? How is she gonna make it in real life? Seriously. Grad party? Tell her that her behavior for the next 3 months determines a) whether she has one and b) if she does, how much you will do. And I agree with no $. Sandwiches sustained us! [/QUOTE]
