Fast forward a few years...he paid the car off, sold it, and bought a Lexus I300. Kids!!

Come on dad, what's cooler the I300 or the Impala?!?!

The first time she's out driving by herself, I'll be a nervous wreck. In MO you're required to have a learners permit for 6 months, so even though she's 16 now, she can't test for her license until September. It's going to make her crazy riding the bus to school for a month
And she has to fit the bill for gas and insurance, time for someone to get a job!
