My personal belief is that everybodies "first" car should be whatever they want, provided they buy it with money they earned themselves.
That being said, my parents did give me my first car. It was a 1974 Datsun B-210 hatchback. Did I mention it was green? It didn't run, so they figured it was a safe car to give me. It took me a couple months, but I figured out that it was a carburetor problem, and I rebuilt it myself. That was the first automotive repair work I ever did.
Anyway...
Some people shouldn't be parents, but to those that are, you have my respect. Parenting has got to be the hardest, most thankless job in the world.
Keep that in mind this Sunday.
Take care,
-Chris
