I would just have not chosen a Crossfire as car of choice. Though I guess it makes sense, keep the power low to keep you out of trouble.
I'm sure you don't. Why teach a kid responsibility? Why make them have a financial interest in their automobile? Face it, you get something for free, you treat it like it was free. You pay for it yourself, you treat it like you had to work for it. It's that simple. Kids need to have a reason to act responsibly. They learn that by being given responsibility. Giving them a car just because you can doesn't teach them anything but that Daddy will take care of things FOR you.
And then there's that little jab you put at the end, which is a whole other conversation. Since I'm new here, I'm trying to understand why someone who doesn't like this car would want to come to a forum about this car. Kinda like a ***** in church. Outta place.
