Sheesh, I wish that my parents could've spent that much when I was looking for my first car. Instead they told me to buy it myself, and $400 dollars I had my '74 Duster. You want to talk about safety? Rolled it twice down a hill and it still ran like a champ even with the "lowrider Mercury" chop
But honestly, is safety what the teenager driver looking for? I thought that they want looks and performance...
