It's so hard to know, though, how he is going to act when such a powerful machine is put into his hands. Even knowing him the way I do, and he's a good kid, boys like to push limits. It's quite a dilemma since I said he could get one, and after that test drive (driven by the chevy salesman), my stomach is still on the road behind us. I want to be a parent of my word, ya know? I should've done my homework well in advance.

One last comment and I'll leave this thread shaking my head - parenthood is NOT a democracy, it's a dictatorship. You had a change of heart (in his best interest) and he'll be getting another car. End of discussion. At least he'll be alive to argue with you.
