I hate to see kids with older Toyota Trucks, period...
The ones around here just Flog the crap out of them, and end up totaling them in a short time...
My son was taught well, and is similar to 'driving Ms Daisy'...
but if not, and most other kids, all I'd buy them is a $500 beater and let them learn on that, and tear that up...
they don't need something decent until they get some maturity...
I certainly know if my son was like I was in High School and early college, he'd be walking and knowing the bus schedule real well...
