Yeah, like that really works... At that age there is *always* a way. That's why the human race still exists, teenagers are better at getting alone together than parents are at keeping them apart.

Really? No children are born to those in their 20s, 30s, 40s... You know about as much about life as you do politics and economics.

No where that sad, the suspension was 1970s harness racing, tamed a bit. Still not good at cornering. And full soda cans for brakes.

Sounds like a lot of hassle. Maybe it would be easier to sell it (to me) and try to recoup the purchase price...

But then that proven useful maintenance onus would fall on you. The question then, Mr. Pefhany, is "Do you accept the mission?"

A heavy onus is no great problem, but could you stand the thought of it with snow tires?
