they have to earn the vehicles not just given to them, meaning they have to buy parts for it & do the work on the vehicle as well

Whatever you buy, who gets to drive it until she is 16?

Yes she is really in to cars & knows how to work on them, we have taught them that from the start.
when she was 5 years old she was helping her dad rewire his 67 pick up & when we sold it she was mad at us for weeks because we sold her truck, even though it wasnt hers. She thought it was. also Why not a classic????? when we were looking at vehicles for my son, our insurance agent said that a older truck was the way to go because they would not get rated on newer cars just that vehicle so for my sons truck it cost us $50 a month
so we are doing the same thing for her.
Her dad gets to drive it & gets to show it as well. but she gets to do the work on it.
for those who dont know my kids personally, both of them are hard workers & are always at shows helping out, no matter if its running errors, when the big swap meet show up every year they are out running parts for cash to buy parts & what have you or to make money. On the weekends & during the week on summer breaks they are cleaning stalls for $3 a day & doing odd jobs on the farm I work at to make money. they are not sitting around doing nothing
