Also I think it's OK to type swearwords if you're directly quoting a line of dialogue from a film.
wants me to keep the Expedition for when she gets her drivers license.
In my home, my kids are punished for using offensive language or taking the Lord's name in vain.
for herself to drive (as in she wants me to GIVE it to her), but that’s not going to happen. Three, she is going
to have to get a job and pay for her insurance and gas, my parents never paid those for me. When the time comes
she will likely be getting something like a Honda Civic.
Who knows, maybe Neptune wouldn't allow his daughter to drive until she was 25
just kidding...
On a serious note, people here get their licenses at 18.
Though the conversation about speedbumps has been cut have a look on this please...

If you let me enter the conversation guys, i'd say that letting her (when she'll be 16) drive the Expedition wouldnt be that bad in my opinion G-MANN, if she knows how to drive where's the problem, and besides, take into account a matter that seems not important but it actually is, in America unlike here, the majority of the cars are automatic, and im guessing Neptune's Ford is as well, so it is muuuuch easier to drive and handle for a learner.
Regarding the statement asking if I would let my daughter borrow my Expedition, the answer is yes. If I was certain she could handle it, it would be silly not to let her use it if for some reason she needed it.
Will she learn to drive with the Expedition?
Most likely, yes. Seeing as how it’s the only vehicle I have, there’s not much of a choice is there?
Will I just let her loose with it by herself?
I can’t, under North Carolina DMV Law, a new driver (that has successfully completed Drivers Ed) holding a valid Driver’s Learning Permit must be accompanied and supervised by a parent, guardian or mentor, and cannot drive after 9:00 PM.
After one year of driving and only if the driver has not had any tickets or caused any accidents will that person be eligible to get their Provisional Drivers License. The PDL is a restricted Drivers License where the holder can drive by his or herself Only between the hours of five 5:00AM and 9:00PM.
Then after about six months the driver is eligible to get their Full-Unrestricted Drivers License, again only if the driver has not had ANY traffic violations.

While I agree with you, using "F-word" is not very nice. Quote From: G-MANN
Normally I don't use such harsh language, I just felt like using here, at least it's not directed at any member here. We're all grown ups here anyway, who cares about the odd swearword as long as we don't turn the air blue.Also I think it's OK to type swearwords if you're directly quoting a line of dialogue from a film.

Sorry Neptune, do your children visit this site by any chance?Quote From: Neptune
My son does or did. My daughter has nothing to do with cars, though she wants me to keep the Expedition for when she gets her drivers license.
In my home, my kids are punished for using offensive language or taking the Lord's name in vain.

Isn't the Expedition too big a car for a 16-year-old to drive? Wouldn't getting her insured on it cost the Earth?Quote From: Neptune
Well, for one, she still has a few years before she ever has to take Drivers Ed. Two, She wants the Expedition for herself to drive (as in she wants me to GIVE it to her), but that’s not going to happen. Three, she is going
to have to get a job and pay for her insurance and gas, my parents never paid those for me. When the time comes
she will likely be getting something like a Honda Civic.

But when she passes her test (I think most American states have a driving age of 16) will you let her borrow the Expedition? I'd be suprised if she could get insured (at an affordable price) on such a large powerful car, but then America's different to England.Quote From: G-MANN
If the answer to that question is yes, then I'm afraid that I have to disagree with that, I would explain further but I have to go offline now, I'll be back tomorrow.Quote From: carchasesfanatic
I dont know in other countries but in Spain that doesnt matter, the price varies depending on the insurance company not in the car, you choose what kind of insurance you want, i dont own a car so i drive my dad's 406, he has to pay an incentive so im allowed to drive it, but what he has to pay dpends on the company...Though the conversation about speedbumps has been cut have a look on this please...

I don't want to lecture Neptune but I really don't think it's a good idea to let an inexperienced teenage driver who's just passed their test loose on a monster like the Expedition (I'm referring to it's sheer size rather than it's speed). The thing is a lot of teenage drivers have accidents due to their inexperience, even if they're not driving wrecklessly they are still more likely to make errors in their first few years of driving (that's why car insurance for young people is so high). The problem is with something as large as the Expedition (which must weigh well in excess of 2 tons) is if it hits another car (especially a small one) it's going to do a lot of damage (very possibly to the occupants inside). Your daughter may be very sensible for all I know but sensible drivers can still panic and not manage to avoid accidents.Quote From: carchasesfanatic
Well that's true as wellRegarding the statement asking if I would let my daughter borrow my Expedition, the answer is yes. If I was certain she could handle it, it would be silly not to let her use it if for some reason she needed it.
