Default Re: Chevrolet SSR

My dad bought me nothing.He made me earn the money and then buy my own first car.A 1965 New Barracuda 6 banger automagick . I wanted a V8 they made me buy 6.He did cosign for the balance of the loan.
I worked my a-- off paying for the car. I looked after it
like a a show car always. I never abused it because it took a long time to earn the money at $ 1.15 cents an hour.
The only problem I had with the car was I could not keep up
with the others when we went drag racing every night. So I
Traded it in for a 1966 SS 4 speed.
Let them work for it, it will serve you and him well in the long run.

P.J. has the right idea. Let him earn it. Our kids did. Since when does a sixteen year old need a vehicle. Perhaps if he has a job to go to. You want to see school marks go into the toilet, give a kid a car. Buy an SSR and you had better be prepared to buy a coffin. Talk to some insurance people and see what they have to say on the subject. They have all the horror stories.
