New Car

 Now that Benjamin is driving, we've been looking for a car for him.  I wanted to get an old, manual transmission, beat-up car that he could drive without a lot of worry about accidents and learn how to drive with a stick shift.  However, old, beat up cars can be unreliable and they lack the newest safety features.  Plus, when your dad works at Ford, you can get a management lease for far less than any other car (with insurance, maintenance, and registration included!).  So, lucky guy that Benjamin is, he got a new 2022 Ford Maverick.  Great gas mileage, modern safety features, and fun to drive.  Only downside was that they only had one in white - hello supply chain issues.  He has been a very good driver and with only a few minor exceptions, riding with him is pretty low-stress.  Let's hope he has a far better driving record than I did at his age!
