Probably going to go the wholesale route and goto a couple of dealer auctions to find one....
Be a good father and hand him over the truck!

Prolly a good idea to get his first car at an auction. No sense in spending tons of money on a first car that he'll prolly get tired of. Plus it'll show him responsibility with maintence and value of a dollar.

When my son was about 11 or 12, I told him to pic out whatever olde car he wanted and we would find one and restore it for his first car. I had just finished my 54 truck and my 65 Mustang. I thought he would jump on a 67 Camero or a 65 Mustang. At the time, we had a 70 Olds Delta 88 that was a second family car. We had bought it new but this was 1984. He said "Naw Dad, I'll just drive the Delta. Took me a long time to get over that. I thought we would have fun building it together, but he had no interest. I still built him a 65 Mustang for HS graduation, which he ended up being very proud of.

We were supposed to get that but the storm is going to slip south of us and all we are going to get is 4-8 inches out of it.

Is it bad when you go to Petco and when you walk through the door the employees know your dogs name?
