I have 6 years before my oldest starts driving. I have an 89 F150 for him to learn on and drive. It needs some work, but he and I will be doing the work so he has a vested interest in it. My next oldest will be getting his soon, he has 8 years before he is driving. I found a 92 K5 Blazer that I should be getting in the next few weeks. After motor and tranny, it has no rust and only one dent. We live a couple miles up a dirt road, so 4x4 is required.
