That taurus sounds perfect. I wouldn't worry about the gas milage he'll figure that out.

Get something that you will feel comfortable driving, you never know you might have to appropriate it occasionally.

Don't forget about that part, Barry. You can't replace or get that experience back. Just a thought man....

...and as old car guys we've got a task to make sure this younger generation keeps it alive

And if you havent, watch Eric Bana's documentary, "Love the Beast." The emotions and what not discussed in that, run very similar to my experiences with the Torino. And that is why I could never sell the car.

Both of my daughters started out in mid 90's Saturns. I expected fender benders and I don't want to do any body work.

My son wants a pickup. So I will be looking for a Ranger or S10 soon.

A lot of truth there. But we do work on the Camaro a little together. I have to admit, when I work on a vehicle, there is typically a lot of cussing. The language does not bother him, but my attitude scares him from time to time. LOL.

Me too, I tell my son when I'm under a hood, its shop time. Theres going to be cussing, throwing shit across the shop, threats to Ford/Chevy/Dodge/etc. engineers and maybe a "why has God forsaken me" shout out while waving my fist at the sky...

LMAO! You know where I am coming from. I have seen my son disappear in a blink of an eye while I am working. Kid is a ninja.
