    its fine to get him the taco, people just get this notion of its a shame to damage a nice first gen and they see a first time driver "learning" in something so rare to find a good one now days, and that's the naysayers comments. if he wrecks it, yes it will be sad to see, but if he is a good driver who pays attention and doesn't get into wrecks with it or rags it out, it will be the best investment he can make
