Not all of us are fortunate enough and can afford something decent for their daughter to drive....I just hope what you cobble together is safe.

My daughter was slightly confused at dinner tonight when I told her that she was going to drive grandpa's mintish 98 Accord for a while before I let her have the 2011 Mazda3. I don't care how alert/careful/responsible a new driver is, they are going to hit a curb/car/dumpster at some point early on.
