Re: [AMC-List] I Shouldn't Have Done It

I think it was a 1946 CJ (farmer's jeep) that I learned to drive, then came 
the 1932 Olds, and then the first one I bought was a 1942 Dodge business 
coup.  This was between 1948-1956.

Yeah, kids are demanding if they can get away with it.  One of mine did 
their best to break the bank for a while anyway.  Had to bail the kid out of 
several unfortunate circumstances, provide housing, food, and something to 
drive including gas and insurance.  A decent, affordable and safe car that 
is given to your kid is merely an inadequate piece of junk as far as they 
are concerned.  It is targeted for abuse and destruction.  It must be a 
natural law. (The miserable brats...)  Two cents more from another dinosaur.

But, I do realize that they are not all like this. especially Mark's boy...
