    At least you son knows what to on on evenings and sundays ... and holidays!:p

    Mine are buying new, they save money and buy.
    My youngest bought a Audi A3 Quattro , new new but quite, so the girlfriend can play the madame.
    He likes the Jeep, but just to play with. Maybe he is right.

    Better than running wild. At least I know where he is spending his hard earned money. A little over a year till he can drive so perhaps it will be finished soon so I can drive it.
