    If you think he's responsible enough then make him the happiest son ever! Make sure he understands he has a gem in his possession... this isn't just another car...

    Default Of course he does!!!

    What a great car to learn so many things on. He can learn to drive, and learn to wrench! Of course it doesn't help when there's almost no work to do on the thing!!!

    Good driver's car, good safe car, good for Aubrey!

    Default Interesting that so many of you think he will wreck the car!!!

    I started driving in 1993 with a 1989 Jimmy. It was a nice car at the time, and I never wrecked it. I respected my dad for letting me use it so freely and having confidence that I would do the right things (despite coming home at 3am from my girlfriend's house consistently). I have a different take on the situation, and knowing Aubrey and the England family a little bit helps me in my decision. I have confidence that he would respect what he is given and it can be a good learning experience.

    The only downside is that it sets the bar high going forward in life to always have a nice car.

    I get the feeling that Aubrey will be a responsible driver. I voted not yet, not because I feel HE will wreck it. It's the other douchebags that are too busy putting on make up and thumbing their asses while driving that I worry about.

    I see what you mean. One can be a technically perfect driver and still get hit by another driver. It takes entirely another level of driving skill to practice defensive driving and always being ready for the other guy to do something stupid. It take awhile to learn proper defensive driving, some of it is instinctive, but much of it come from experience. I know that i am not at the level of driving skill that i will be at 1, 2 or three years from now, so i adjust my attention and focus as well as caution accordingly. Also, even if the new driver does everything he/she is supposed to, it is very easy to make one stupid mistake that will ruin your car.

    If he seems to be a good, safe driver then its a good idea. Someone at my school totalled at least one e30 318is.

    honestly i bet youv made you mind and are giving him the thing, but from experiance, no need to give him that car, give him a bimmer, yes, but not somthing so nice, he will ruin it and run it into the ground the way i did with my e30
