I'd disagree - I'd much rather change diapers than deal with drivers. Then they get bigger, choose mates and there's that much more drama... I dream of having a http://www.myoceanis.com/[^]

why? Hell, she's 19, knows everything and thinks she's a F-1 driver. And she wrecked the minivan Unsure | :~

.

Seriously, it's just a new driver thing...

Phase 1: super careful, slow, paranoid
Phase 2: hey I can do this! It's not so hard
Phase 3: why are you so upset dad? it wasn't my fault
Phase 4: crap, I wrecked *my* car, this so sucks.
Phase 5: okay, I'm coming up on an intersection that collects idiots,
I better slow down...

I tore up cars too, so I see the traits. I am so much like my dad now.

I can identify myself in those phases. My first car also looked like it was in a few accidents before and after my first winter it got a bit worse. There was just one crash and nothing serious - a few extra scratches, but at that time I got to phase 4. Except the car was really mine. Been very careful since and hope I don't get too confident with the car again. Got a new one now, my girlfriend inherited one from her grandpa but as before we made it so that we are both owners of the car. He really looked after it, I'm kind of afraid of driving it.

Install air bags outside of your daughter's car. Sit back, relax and enjoy the smashing!

BTW, you might lose all your hard earned money depending on smash frequency.

WTF | :WTF:

I just don't wreck cars. I think the last time I had something in the body shop was when yet another daughter bent our Toyota 4-runner. Just triple elephants. So, the Mrs. says, hey, we can get another car with the settlement.. Right, I know this is going to cost me another 5 grand... I just know.
