    First my Liz got her license:hair:
    Insurance company would not give a quote without license number..
    $262 a month:jaw:

    Drivers Ed was messed up due to virus so that had to be paid for..

    She did pass road test with 97/100.

    She is stressing out over:makeitrain"
    I’m laughing because she says “Adulting is expensive”.

    Since we helped her with car; she is running to grocery store now.. She is responsible for maintenance, gas, insurance.
    Dad started her off with new set of summer and Winter tires.

    Good Luck! I have two boys that are 25 and 22 and they are both still alive and still have their license. My daughter is 14, so I got one more to stress about soon.

    I remember those days. We gave her the first car but she didn’t really like it. You want something different go buy what you want with your own cash, she did. 4 years later she wanted something newer, this one required taking out a bank loan. She pays for it all. We set her up and would have been wiser to just like it from the start.

    A long time ago it used to be 4 doors were less insurance than 2 doors if that could help her with insurance.

    Teaching my 16 y/o son. He can't test until december. I had to lay the law down when the "know it all attitude" started to show itself. It quickly went away.

    8 yrs ago while teaching my daughter we were stopped on a side road explaining something to her. A cop turns his lights on behind us walks upto the car. I lean from the shotgun seat and say teaching her to drive. Officer smiled said good luck and left. Never asked for id's or anything else.

    Yes, it is a 4 door and a wagon, apparently girls are not significantly cheaper than boys any more.
