Jumping through "Adulting" hoops for your kids doesn't teach them anything.....


My first car cost $75 for a stock Bonneville 389 convertible and like new tires. I paid cash drove it home. That's when the parents said, nice car, it sits here till you can afford the ins.

Now it cost more to fill a tank, than my 62 did.
