Heh I'd respect her for it.

The thing is she actually wanted a truck to help with some light hauling we do from time to time. Her mom and I both drive cars and have always had to borrow grandpas truck for brush, furniture etc.. She saw a need/way to help and asked to fill it. Plus she just likes trucks. A practical teenager........ go figure.

Same one for a year and a half... and I know where you're going here so I'll just say no that's not it now.

Just another step in seeing my baby grow up too fast. It used to be wanting cheap toys out of store vending machines, then Yougio cards and those beany pet things that you bought then registered them on the beany pet thing website and "took care of them" and built them houses and bought them stuff with the points you earned by playing, then it's ipods and smartphones and pom pon squad and now it's her first vehicle and college shopping..... and I'm pretty sure all of this metamorphesis has taken place in the last week.

I don't know exactly why I'm starting a thread about this. I know I'm hardly the first person to watch their kids grow up and all the things that goes with that. I guess I'm just feeling refective tonight. Maybe others can share storys of their experiences if they want.



tl;dr- beer me is old and sensitive

I'm on my second beer. I probably misspelled some things but I know "old" and "Peyton Manning" are right lol.

Pffft... Ford Rangers. Give me a break. I'd have bought her a Toyota Tacoma if I could afford it.

Make sure she wears her seatbelt as well as everyone in the car - always. A good friend of my kid's just died because she was sleeping the passenger seat of a pathfinder without her seatbelt on. The driver apparently went off the road a little, then over-corrected and rolled the car. Which teenagers have a tendency to do.

She always does and will tell everyone else in the vehicle to put theirs on if they don't. Always good advice.

i got ready to make a fiery car crash joke until i read suds' post. so i'ma just gonna stop right there.

('sides, the ranger was my first truck. pretty goddamned dependable son. only reason i don't have it now is that my little bro needed a ride for a few weeks. 12 years later, here we are talking about trucks)

daughter has good choice in vehicles. seriously, in my history, my cars always broke down, where as the trucks never have.

I'm not trying to dog Ford... although I did anyway. I know they've gotten better and are supposed to be of good quality these days. I've just never been a fan. I've test driven a few... cars and trucks... and they just never felt good to me. They always seem a little off for some reason. That's just me. If we'd found a good Ranger we'd probably have bought it. It's just a first vehicle after all. She going to drive it around town, to school and pom practice and dance practice and such. By college in 2 years we'll probablly be looking at something else.

I'll insult Ford... no way no how would my kids first, second, third or fourth car be a Ford.

shoe horn 350 into that bad boy... (that's pretty much my answer to everything).
