Youngest son just turned 18. He graduated early, & is a really good kid. I'd been trying to find him a car, but not had much luck. Was going to take him to a used lot to look at a few then I got a phone call. Turns out my aunt was selling a Lexus lx470 really cheap if I wanted it. To make a long story short we were about to buy a junk car & get took to the cleaners. Instead he got a SUV worth about 15k at a steal. My aunt & uncle are very wealthy, but we're very kind. My son still hasn't figured out all the bells & whistles. Beats the heck outta my first car.

Bet he will like that one, you may not when it comes to parts. Much better than my first one, a '65 Ford Galaxy. Bought it from a High School buddy who got drafted, he didn't make it back.

No man, I'm telling ya he's a good kid. He plays guitar, mostly old country & rock. No rap garbage.
His 1st vehicle is nicer than anything I've driven. I dread when it needs a repair, I imagine parts cost a fortune.

A very good and safe vehicle for him.

It's a 2005, but in pristine condition. I'm very thankful they thought of him.

It comes factory with hydraulic suspension, but I told him not to mess with it. Afraid it'll tear up.

My first car was a 66 Galaxy with 390.

I pulled a homemade trailer with my flat trackers with it. Huge trunk for tool boxes, coolers and all manner of chit.

I doubt that’ll hurt it.

Drive it and enjoy it.

That's a blessing.

I've heard police say that his age group are like magnets to them. They don't hesitate to write them up. This is even more true for a sports car category. This makes it doubly good.
This sounds more than ideal.

Might as well throw on some wheel spinners too!

Sounds like a great ride for a great kid. Hope he's happy with it.
