The best update o0n the Corvette!
Friday when we went to pick up the boys bm wanted to talk about the car. So we talked and had a good consersation about the fact that ss15 doesn't need a corvette and why. Mainly we as parents were talking to ss15 and we all mainly agreed he should not get this car.
The only thing we didn't agree on is that ss15 should drive the truck that bm's aunt bought him. Bm still thinks it is not good enough and that he should be able to sell it and get something else. Ok fine we let that go as long as he gets a car that is safe and he has no payments which is something I stressed. So it ended very well.
So then ss15 was trying the entire time we were in wal mart (after we left bm) to argue his point. We pretty much told him to shut up it is a done deal he will not get the corvette or have payments. He in turn called bm and told her we hurt his feeling b/c we told him his a bad a driver. Bm called us and again we had a good conversation only thing we didn't agree on was that ss15 is a good driver for his age but the fact is he is still a teenage boy and he will have a wreak. And the fact that he is getting his feelings hurt b/c he thinks we are saying he is a bad driver says that he is not mature enough. Of course bm thinks he is the best driver ever!
That is my point that he thinks and she thinks he is the best driver ever that he will think he is invensable and will get hurt. But on a better note bm did say she agreed with me about everything. The only thing is that she isn't accepting the fact that ss15 is still a teen and will get in trouble with a car weather that is a wreak or spending or whatever he will get in trouble was my point and that fact that he got his feeling hurt b/c he thinks we are saying he is a bad driver tells me he is not all the way in reality about driving yet.
hope I'm making sense
However I am so very glad he is not going to get that car or have payments.

Just wait until he gets a
Just wait until he gets a speeding ticket or accident. That insurance goes way up. I don't care how good a driver they think they are, it takes one time and that 88.00 dollars a month for them, goes up to 200 and up and up and up.
My son is 16 and had a small pickup truck, he knows that one ticket and he loses his car because he will not be able to afford the insurance without a job...
I know it doesn't matter how
I know it doesn't matter how good of a driver you are a teenage boy will do something stupid period! I prefer to live in reality and know that teen boys will do something to impress a girl or something which is what bm can't seem to understand.
But I forgot to mention that now ss15 is looking at getting the SAME kind of car I bought my son. I think it is funny and I don't mind and will not say anything as long as he does NOT get a sports car that will send him the mess that he can spend and is better then the others and want to race them. I know he will want to race anyway but at least it is in a safer car.
Of course bm seems to think the ins is something she can afford but then ss15 WILL get a ticket and he WILL want to race or do something stupid. I know that kind of kid and those kinds of kids were the ones in high school that was always racing and trying to one up the others.
