Millennial anti-theft device

[Frank S]

When My oldest daughter turned 16 I had just bought the wife a new 87 Chrysler 5th avenue but didn't trade in the 79 Dodge Aspen because I knew the girl was going to need a car soon Both vehicles were automatics and the only other small vehicle I owned was my custom built by me 81 Ford 1 ton welding rig 1160 Cat 10 speed road ranger + 2 speed auxiliary with a clutch that took a strong leg to depress so she didn't get a chance to learn stick She drove the Aspen for 2 or 3 years but by her 2nd year in collage the 80 mile round trip every day was taking its toll She had been saving her money somehow,with going back and forth to class and work. Working part time doesn't afford much extra money but anyway at the end of a year's worth of scrimping she had managed a tidy sum of close to 2 K. She decided it was time for her to buy herself a new car. I told her that I was only along for the ride and to intervene if I thought the salesperson wasn't being fair.
HA,HA I might as well have stayed home we piled into the Chrysler letting her drive and off to a dealership we went or should I say dealerships. Car shopping with a 19 year old girl is worst than going shoe shopping in a mall with Emelda Marcos, after the 6th dealership I was ready top just say kid I'll buy you any car at the next dealership we stop at just to get to go home, but I didn't
The next place we stopped at was just about to close since it was getting on towards 9 PM. She literally had to drag me into the show room where I quickly spied a comfortable chair to sit in while she had a look at the cars She spied this ugly little Teal green GEO Metro and called to me Daddy I'm going to take this one home with me if I can get the price down to where I want it. This is going to be good I thought A show room car sticker price of 10K for something that I wouldn't pay more than 7 for on if I was desperate. Well after 20 minutes of her haggling with the sales clerk she walks over to ask me my opinion of the deal she was about to sign. First time buyer's discount student discount 50,000 mile bumper to bumper 3 years free oil change and services $1,800.00 cash down yada, yada, yada. total price out the door tax tittle and license included she would be making payments on a balance of $4000.00
I'm thinking how on earth did she do that, when she told me he liked my smile and I had beat him up on the price because it has 250 miles on it I simply stated the new law about new car mileage limits even though it wasn't over I got his manager to to sell it to me as a demonstrator vehicle. What do you think?
It's a stick who's going to drive it home? I told her while it was alright with her mom for her to drive the Chrysler as long as one of us were with her that I was not going to let her drive it home by herself while I drove the shoe box.
NO problem she said I've watched you drive your trucks all my life,then she got in the GEO started it up and after 1 or 2 false starts drove away while me, the manager and the salesman just shook our heads. 90,000 miles later she traded it in for a new 6 speed Dodge pickup and so far as my knowledge has never driven an automatic since
