I am most upset that I have to spend my money on some boring shitwagon instead of making the kid’s T Bird’s 429 Thunderjet crush his enemies, see them driven before him, and let him hear the lamentations of their women (if they can hear it over the straight pipes).
Pumpkin is not pleased with this shit.
Tell me Oppo, do you want me buying a Volvo or making that fucking V8 roar like an emissions-exempt dragon? God damn it all to hell. He has to have a safe DD.

To be fair, Volvo wagons are pretty swift all on their own...

Get him something boring and safe. Then tell him if he stays safe and does good in school then his reward is the t-bird.

As much as I want to see that monstrous land yacht sail, I am a firm believer in the ”get your kid a shitty car if he’s not responsible enough for something cool and/or nice” philosophy

A bicycle is much cheaper, this could be a lesson in “ya fucked up, next one is on you.”

The OPPO in me really badly wants to say let the T-bird fly!
The dad in me says airbags and crumple zones are good.
The husband in me says keep your wife happy by buying a Volvo.
Two to one safe vehicle. The OPPO in me will take consolation in the fact that it could be a turbo Volvo wagon and still be safe.

If it were a shit happens kind of thing where he was in the wrong place at the wrong time for someone else’s screw up, that might be one thing, but this was his. It seems like some beigemobile penance is in order here. Maybe when he lives this down and proves he’s learned from it, the beigemobile can go towards future T-bird upgrades as a carrot for doing good.

Volvo is the best of both worlds. Get him an old brick wagon. Safe slow and uncool starting out, but with huge building potential and appreciation from the more experienced gearheads

I would love to see the T-bird fixed, but right now he doesn’t deserve it due to his inattentiveness (not trying to be harsh or anything, but a lesson has to be learned if he was at fault).
The Tbird will be OK to wait awhile. I think it best to get him something a bit less interesting to get him from A-B....stupid question, but have you thought about getting him a car with a stick? Maybe the wife would be against it, but haven’t studies actually proven drivers of manual transmission cars are more attentive?

Volvo, if something happens you can’t escape that guilt.

If you keep the bird, but buy him a beige DD, then that should be fine.

Maybe Junior needs new sneakers for a while because at fault. Or a bicycle.

Kid shouldn’t be dding a rwd car with no traction control. That shit must be eased into. It took me awhile (and several near accidents) for me to respect RWD

Does this mean pumpkin has to make do with cheaper cat foods now? Is that why she looks pissy?

“making the kid’s T Bird’s 429 Thunderjet crush his enemies”
This is great Oppo parenting!
