[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 644194, member: 1550"] "I was holding it for a friend" is popular. Like all of our difficult children, in my own personal opinion, none of them need to be driving until they can work and pay for the car. If it were me, and I know you're not ;), the car would no longer be in his life. My daughter was in too many accidents for me to feel good about reckless adult kids driving. One accident, she got sued and lost so she was paying the woman long after she had quit using drugs. It was a good lesson for her too. When she finally drove again, it was after she worked, saved for her own beater, and her own expenses. She has never been in an accident since. Again, I am puzzled at parents who feel they must produce a car for especially irresponsible kids. If they buy it themselves with no help from us, trust me, they appreciate it more. I know you will make a responsible decision. It's such a pain to have to drive them places (know this first hand) but it beats feeling bad if they get into an accident and kill somebody else or themselves. That scared me enough to do the driving even though I didn't like it. [/QUOTE]
