I'd start with something more like this...

Or less. Safe, reliable, slow, cheap on gas.
But it's got no soul.

I'm a horrible parent. I want her to have a car she can think is cool without it being new or expensive like some of her friends no doubt will drive. I'd like for it to be a stick because if you can learn on that you will know it for life.

She's a teenage girl. Get her a V6 and do a couple exterior add-ons like wheels, grill delete, etc. and I'm sure she'll be fine.

Doesn't matter, the less soul and the less cool the more likely she will be to be safe starting out. Wait until she shows she can handle the responsibility of driving, then later in high school let her move up to something with soul and is cool. Put it on her to decide if she is willing to do the work to get the rewards.

Whoa, whoa, whoa wait a dang minute.


You should have just said she's a teenager. Her being a girl has nothing to do with anything.

Well, is she were a boy I would have called her teenage boy. Makes no difference. V8 plus teen = watch out.

That Solara looks like a good solution. Sporty but reliable. That looks like a chick car. Just needs tint and wheels.

OMG I love these cars.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...fCarsQ5fTrucks

This was a dream car of mine. I'd love to own one. This car was a super car back in 1990. Holy crap I'd buy it if I didn't already have a rare car I can never drive.

If you're car shopping Gary, I know of a pretty decent '85 Grand Marquis 302... $1,200

More reliable than a Bronco? C'mon now Gary you know that truck isn't going to break! You just want another Mustang at the house

Give me a V6 5spd with wheels and a grille delete and dual exhaust, I'd be happy
