 Behind the Wheel...

Yep....that's right. There's a new driver in my area

My youngest daughter FINALLY got her driver's license!!! As of last Thursday, she's a legal solo driver. I didn't think the day would ever come and now it's here.

Now, I want to know WHY.....WHY....just WHY was I in such an all fire hurry to put her on my insurance?????? I must have fell and bumped my head After the first intial shock from the amount, which knocked my socks off I realized that "Hey, this is what I've been pushing for two years. Drive...drive....drive." No need to belly ache now

We do need to get her something to drive though. She's only been solo once. That was Saturday night. She took my truck and me and my oldest daughter took Hubby's truck. He wasn't liking that too much since that left him and my son at home with no transportation Although, he did get the 4wheeler key out of his truck before I left

Anyway.....my 'driving' daughter is as picky about what she wants to drive as she is about what she wears. Which kills me because she only wears T-shirts and jeans but they have to be a CERTAIN t-shirt and a CERTAIN pair of jeans This is proving to be the same with what she's WANTING to drive She's told us from day one that she doesn't want to drive a car and quite frankly she scares the daylights out of me when she drives one. She handles a truck MUCH better. I guess it's because that's all she's had to drive but either way, she's wanting to drive a truck.

Now the truck isn't that big of an issue. I know where she's coming from. I'd rather get behind the wheel of a truck myself. She's just got to learn not to be so damn picky about what type of truck

We saw a couple the other day that were decent trucks and would work for what we're looking to spend. Two were Dodge's and one was a Toyota. She liked both but didn't get overly excited about either one.

Later on we find out that while the Dodge's and the Toyota are OK trucks in her mind....it's really a FORD she's wanting

WTF difference does it make is MY question

We wanted to get her a car to begin with because of insurance and gas prices but NOooooo...she doesn't want any part of THAT So we made a deal with her. We help her get a decent USED truck and she pays the insurance and gas. I cannot afford gas and insurance for THREE trucks......good God, I don't make THAT kind of money

So I think I have found the perfect deal for all concerned.............

First of all, congrats to your daughter on getting her license! Secondly.....you know how you look forward to Fridays and the weekend......if you get her a truck like that, I don't think I would be heading home on Friday!

Congrats! I think I could've told you there would be "sticker shock" with your insurance. She should be able to get a good student discount if she has As & Bs. Driver's Ed should give a discount too. Check on them both. Let me warn you, it'll be higher with her principal operator than it is with her an occasional on one of your cards.

Personally, me thinks she'll love that truck!

Thanks CM

Other than the cost factor, I don't know who's more excited...me or her

Yeah, I might want to RUN if I came home with that truck

Thanks Secret

She missed the good student discount by a hair and my insurance doesn't give a discount for driver's ed I'm thinking of searching around to see if I can it any cheaper somewhere else

I would LOVE her face if that truck was brought home for her

Hey CM

As of right now, I'm not doing much of anything in the truck shopping department This child keeps getting pickier and pickier. NOW she has been more specific about the year. She wants a '78 or '79 Ford She's probably going to end up with a bike
