What vehicles to avoid buying, teenager style.

[jeeper]

I’ve been driving this Corolla exclusively for a few weeks. Helps keep me humble for sure.. but it’s a hoot to drive.
The craziest part for me is going from $60 full ups to $25, in about the same number of miles. 😳 it’s been a while since I’ve seen anything better than 16mpg.

The crank windows and manual door locks are a bit annoying, especially as I have to roll the windows up and down quite a bit to take photos.. but I’m getting over it.

Dragging this back up, yes it's about that time when I need to buy something. Any opinion on Toyota vs Honda? Or should I be looking for something else? Looking newer than 2000 and less than $4k.

Get a Civic or Accord from the early aughts and you'll be happy.

Those are both the emblems you want on the front of the car for that price point. My 2000 and 2007 corollas were flawless for hundreds of thousands of miles.

Been happy with the 'crayola', as the kids call it.

Sunday we drove past a beautifully built sky blue Jeep Comanche. My daughter’s jaw hit the floor, she looked me in the eyes and said “I’m not a ford girl anymore, I want THAT THING!”

😂

Isn't this what your boat turned into? So this is basically you saying...."trade for a boat"
But i agree, a 1970 C10 would be a killer teenager vehicle.

No! Maybe!

I don't see the downside

Won't go far with gas prices
Can't fit many kids in the front of the truck = bonus
Learn to really drive in the snow
Look awesome going down the road

wait, I do see one downside, if it's a girl, she'll attract all the redneck boys in school.

My grandpa had a 1972 gmc 2500 that my mom drove in high school, was passed to my uncle where my cousin (and her bff, my future wife) drove it to high school, then purchased by me about 20 years ago. I sold it to get into a new Tacoma in 2004, but if I found something similar I’d buy it for my 14 year old to drive in a couple of years. Such a cool high school truck!

Here is something I came across. Ironically Katelynn drives what he tells you not let your teenager drive. He talks about compacts all the way to Sport cars.

No way he’s an actual car wizard.

I dunno…. My buddy had a clean 72 C10 back in high school. Nice truck and all but it drove right into the back of a school bus while he was checking out the girls 😂. Trucks fault for sure.
