Sounds like a great way for someones kid to put a bit of "sweat
equity" into what will be his / her first car, more so if parents say
that the youngster will have to repair any damage s/he does, and just
can't just run off and get another.
(My uncle gave me a '46 Ford when I was fourteen and I learned a lot
that summer. The car had a problem no one could ever explain, but I
fixed it. nded up having it hauled off for parts a year ater - they
were still common on the road back then.
