I agree with what you're saying. Most kids have to figure it out on their own and it won't be the Jeep's fault if something happens.70shortwide wrote: All that said, when I got my first car I didnt have anything near as nice as what you've posted. Some of my cars in my teens were much more dangerous than a Jeep... As far as safety goes, if he is anything like I was at his age having a Jeep wont make him any more of a threat to himself or anyone else than he already is...
When I was a kid I drove flathead flatfenders around on a friend's family farm. To me, that's a Jeep- A go-Kart used to get from A to B offroad, just like folks use quads for today. Old flatties are great fun up to 35 MPH or so.
