Max, 19 years in the family and counting.

I used to subscribe to Hemmings Sports Cars and Exotics until they decided it was too good for this world. I then subscribed to their
Classic Car magazine for a couple of years, but it wasn't the same.

Those magazines had plenty of articles about high mileage German cars that had lasted a long time. The best car I ever owned was a 2007 BMW. I'm having to restrain myself to keep from buying a new Z4 to ride to the end of the road in. If they still made them without turbo's it would be harder to resist. A smooth, free revving inline six is my favorite engine type.

In general young women aren't as stupid as young boys, I'll bet she'll have a blast.

Sadly, Hemmings Classic Car magazine is no more...

I was expecting a cat or dog pic.

But, carry on.

We told her the same thing we told my son when he got his first car. Take care of it, check the fluids, drive it safely. Remember, if it breaks or you wreck it, you walk.

A classmate in College got her first car when she graduated. It was a gift from Grandma and it was brand new. Dad told her she was responsible for taking care of it.

The first day she opened the hood and she freaked out.....OMG...OMG....OMG...the radiator was low. So she got the garden hose and filled her up. She only made it about a block. Turned out that the oil filler cap to her looked like a radiator cap.

Can't make this stuff up....

Cheaper for girls. Honor roll students get a discount with many companies, same for taking a Driver's Ed course.

In my day that was true. I was real po'd when my Dad had to pay thru the nose for a rider so I could drive his car, but the girl that lived next door got put on for free. He refused to do it until I finished Driver's Ed.

Years later, by the time my sons turned 16 it was equal for boys and girls.

A smooth free revving flat-six is mine.
