He's learning how to be a mechanic, electrician and paint&body man if he wants to drive. Lucky for him his father and other grandfather are really good mechanics. My role is I got him a gift certificate to Harbor Freight.

Absolutely perfect. Every male and some females in our great nation should be required (by their parents) to go through a sweat equity arrangement of this sort before being allowed to drive. ESPECIALLY after totaling a vehicle. After you've busted your knuckles bringing some rig back from the brink, you're going to drive more carefully. You don't want to have to fix it again for no good reason.
