i would say dont buy her a new car by her an older ford and have her pay all insurance repaires and gas. my brother and i had to pay for our first vehcles and we became fairly responible drivers. my dad bought my sister a car and she dident take care of it and blew it up cause she never checked the oil on it even after my husband and brother told her the car had an oil leak and she should check it and top it up every week or two. i think giving kids to much stuff for free is giving them a false impresion on life. Im not going to give my kids a car or pay there whole college bill. I finished college almost five years ago and to many off my freinds wasted there time partying and drinking (there parents gave them a free ride) the students who actualy got an education where the older ones who payed for there education themseves. sorry this is so long i'll get off my soap box now.
