We gave our 16 year old his first Taco tonight

No amount of attention can protect you from being hit by a drunk driver or rear ended at a stop light. They trusted me with a new truck, and I am very grateful, and completely see where they are coming from. I have been driving since I was 12 and 1/2 and like to think I am more experienced than others in my age group.

 

Can’t fix stupid. Unfortunately dumb people are everywhere no matter how experienced you are

 

Well I’m glad your 5 years of experience will help you.

 

I'm excited for you, regardless.

That you're able to surprise your son with a vehicle of his own is a cherished moment.

My parents weren't about to do that for any of us 4 children. No college fund either.

I didn't even evaluate your join date...thanks for sharing your story.

 

first gen miata, replacement trans, that thing has been rode hard and put away wet. Bonus points if it comes with a rainbow bumper sticker.

 

Nice truck OP! Your son must be so happy. When I turned 16 I had to buy my own vehicle, a used ‘88 Corolla for $3,000. How times have changed!

 

Please start a new thread and post a pic.
Need to know if anyone here is buying Tacomas due to lacking elsewhere.

 

Thanks for the kind sarcasm, internet stranger!

 

just have him send a dick pic to your personal messages. If he did start a new thread i doubt it would be a long one.

 

You said you doubt he has a long one???

 

Long one meaning shut down quick, or the content of said images?

 

Hahaha, I kind of figured. I'm still on the fence because that is a lot of hours at my near minimum wage job to afford it. Oh, well. Probably going to pocket the cash and hold on to it for a college fund.

Then again, who needs college when you have a straight piped miata that you can bang the rev limiter all night long in!? /s

 

There's a resemblance.

Merry Christmas!

 

save your money for 6 months to another year. i think we will have a down turn economically and people will need cash and be willing to part with things at a discount. Specifically luxury goods watches , cars (non necessary) will be able to be had at a deep discount.

 

There were some kids at my daughter’s high school who had G Wagens.

Don’t tell people how to spend their money.

 

Thank you for the meaningful advice! There's so many people out here that just want to sit around and just make peoples' days worse. (Keyboard Warriors)

 

not if you want to be a homeowner….

 

Congrats to your boy! My son will get my 3rd gen when he turns 16 in 8 years, lol

 

Good idea. That’ll keep the girls away. Not a sports car!!
