Watch it, world- my 15 year old is driving. In less than a year he’ll be driving without my supervision. Someone hold me, I’m scared. Now, the kind of car he wants is either a Lancer Evolution (Mitsubishi) or a Volkswagon Jetta. If my wallet didn’t already say no, I have the feeling the technicians at the shop would definitely curb that desire in no time. The general consensus around the shop is to get something that isn’t hard to work on, passes safety standards, and is old, but not so old it’s falling completely apart.

The difference in opinion comes with the size of the car. Some say to get something huge, that way if he’s in an accident, he’s less likely to get hurt. Some say to get something small, so he doesn’t go around hitting things constantly when he’s parking. The only REAL opinion I have is that it has to be something that doesn’t cost a fortune with my insurance company.

So, let’s hear it, readers! What kind of car would you get for a new driver?

As we prepare our barbecues, get ready for summer fun, and enjoy the day (many of us) we have off, please take time to remember the freedom we have is thanks to the men and women who have served our county. Thanks to all veterans, we enjoy our freedom as Americans.
