Not necessarily.  You can (depending on your state) specifically exclude drivers from vehicles.  I’ve done that for my truck, my wife’s SUV, and my Mustang.  My son is only insured to drive his car.

“Its a stick, so no texting and driving”

A stick definitely doesn’t stop people from texting.

Bought my son a 2006 Buick LuCerne with the weak 3.8L when he turned 16 two years ago. Perfect for a teen because it’s not cool and it’s not fast.

Let me help you.

Oh you’ll cry alright. It’ll just be at lease end.

You want to insure a teenager on a new car? And have to deal with incidental damage and misuse by said teenager?

Yep, cannot stress “NOT FAST” more for a first car. That my first car was a heavy underpowered Oldsmobile my dad handed down to me saved my life more than once. The moronic things we do with our first car are way less dangerous in a slow one.

Whatever it is, needs to be cheap, slow, safe, FWD, and have few seats (you really don’t want a new driver taking more lives into his/her hands than absolutely necessary).

How about instead of blaming others, we blame the people actually responsible for their actions?? They stole the car, they drove recklessly, they threatened others with a gun. All of this is illegal and 100% their fault.  Period.  

Wow, I didn’t think this would touch such a nerve. Consider where the industry is headed, the way environmental regulations are going and likely to go, and the faster-than-expected climate effects from our carbon emissions.

Here, let me help you finish reading - This was in reply to a reporter who brought up the recent surge of car thefts through the use of counterfeit key fobs.

You must not be familiar with how Detroit works, lol. People mind there own business for the most part, but if you mess with any part of their money...uh...there are consequences for that.

I have a massive blindspot for late 70s to 80s cars. I couldn’t pick a Cutlass out of a lineup to save my life. People (rightly) complain that modern crossovers all look the same, but they have nothing on American cars of this era.

Or the the driver needed time to illuminate the stop requested sign.

I’d ban tactical stuff because it's tacky. If you're going to LARP, have some style.

OOORRR

Not if they can save a few pennies by omitting it and then sell you an option for it

Probably because a) they’re cheap, b) if they hit a curb or buried pothole or something, which is more likely in winter, they’re less likely to deform, letting air out of your tire, and c) if (b) happens, you probably won’t care as much because of (a).

Counterpoint:   steelies on the Bronco sport look awesome.
