Teenage damage

When my 17 year old daughter took out one of the neighbor's mailboxes (a hand built stone pillar) we made her pay for it.  Fortunately she had a part time job and had income - her car at the time, an '85 Caprice, had no damage.  Had she run over one of my bikes... :crybaby: I don't know what might have happened.

Son Backs Jeep Into Bandit And Lives To Tell About It!

My son is basically a good driver - he just doesn't seem to think sometimes.  Out on the road he seems great but-----I can go out to do some gardening and I'll see tracks through the flowerbed 2.5 feet from the gravel drive and he'll say he didn't notice!!??!!WTF???  Yet, I let him drive through Toronto and I sit there and don't sweat at all.  Maybe his mind isn't in gear until he gets out on the highway??

Hope my daughter is a little more cautious or careful or whatever-
