I'd recomend driving them to Krogers for the next two years as he works as a cart boy and have him buy his own 1st car... that will give him way more appriciation for the vehicle than anything given to him. case in point, both of my sisters were given cars.... they were trashed and totaled within a year... I had to buy my own car.... that thing was spotless and I sold it 2 years later in better shape than I bought it in. now go 15 years into the future, neither one of them treat vehicles well and both of them look like they've driven through a war with all the dents and dings in them.
if you are set in getting him a car, get him an early 90's late 80's cavalier wagon.... trust me, it will be named the "shagg'in wagon" and he will make you proud :-)
