buy my 2000 V6 so i can go get a CO '04 Cobra and be a slave to a car payment for eternity, lol.
all kidding aside, im 30 and i like my 6er for the most part. If he is 26 and a decent driver but not a speed junky, get him a sixer. If he's an irresponsible driver like i was until a few years ago, get him a Neon
Better yet, if you trust him enough, HELP him get a car, don't just buy one for him... make him earn it, but help him if you don't mind risking your credit.

Forgive me for sounding like a moron here, but the "kids these days" that have everything handed to them will never grow up to be responsible adults. I have worked hard at every job I have ever had - just to pay my car payments, insurance, household bills, etc... people that get stuff without having to make payments or save up for stuff NEVER really appreciate the stuff they have.
