I Am Learning to Drive

My son my middle child is the first to get a car and his permit. We found a 2004 Oldsmobile Alero for 500. We changed the oil we put breaks on it.

There is some rust to fix and a slight exhaust leak. No big deal

I bought a few cheap cars like that and had good luck with them for year. Bought a 2002 Honda odyssey two years ago for 900 Still driving it. Bought a car for 700 that I drove for five years But another one for 500 that I drove for three years

I hope his luck is the same.

Sounds like he's got a good starting point for learning how to maintain his cars in the future!!! 🙂

@HootyTheNightOwl it costs so much to have a mechanic do you even simple things.

@Jonjdw I know... that's why it's best to learn how to do them for yourself where possible - especially if you have someone who is willing and prepared to teach you how to do some car maintenance for yourself.

I learned a few bits myself...
