My wife and I are raising 2 g'kids.....G'kid #1 16 yr old with a new driverslicense [we taught him to drive] and he is welcome to drive any car we have at anytime he needs it......he DOES have his own car....
G'kid #2.....the jury is still out as to whether or not we will even allow her to ride in the TRUNK of our car at anytime. [my bet is she won't stand a chance.]
Point being....it depends on the capabilities and trustworthyness of the teen driver [and this come from one who believes that at 13 all children should be incarcerated until they reach at least 18 (or 40)]
I am someone who can't at this time afford for my second most valuable asset to be damaged.
I just couldn't do it.
When my own daughter gets to the age where she can get a drivers license, its by no means assured that she will be getting one. She has to have my permission I should imagine and if her behavior and responsibility indicate its a good idea then she will get one, if not then she will be stuck on a bike.
I was a boy in my youth "now I'm an old Fart" and I know what I got into and did with my parents car. No way, no how and at no time.
No kidding. I feel the same way. The first car I drove was a Crown Imperial Chrysler from the mid 1960s. No chance I could hurt it when driving it, it was the other guy that was in trouble when I was driving that. It weighed a tone.

Ah come on, admit to it, you were licensed to drive tanks . Cause we all know that the Chrysler Crown Imperial was a tank. As a kid I think I do remember seeing a Military I.D. number on the bumper of one of those babies rolling down the highway. The only thing they did to it was remover the gun turret off of it.
Now that I may let a teenager drive, they're not so likely to go where the cool kids hang out. LMAO

It was definetly a tank, we could sit four of us across the front seat of it. It was awesome for cruising for that reason. I backed into my Dad's cadillac one time, left a horrible dent in it, didn't do any damage to the Chrysler. They made sure I was the last one parked in the drive way after that.

When ever I got to drive my Dad's tank of a car back in the "70", the back seat was the lacation of choice . Oh, and not for four people either. LOL
Now there is another reason not to let you kid drive your SUV, ya want to be a Grandparent already.
Well I think it depends on the teen. I actually took my driver's license test on an SUV (a Nissan Pathfinder) back in 1995. It was a walk in the park considering that I learned to drive on a stick-shift (actually owned a stick but didn't want to take my driver's test on it, so I used my neighbor's SUV).
I was taught to drive by my father - who is has a CDL and was a long-range truck driver for years. He taught me about using my mirrors and driving techniques for various conditions; as well as how to drive a standard shift. My sister on the other hand (different father) only has my mother to teach her...and my mom isn't good at that sort of thing. So with her....ehh....
With that being said, even though I truly believe I'm a good driver -- I drive a lot and in the 13 years since I've had my license I've been in 3 car accidents...2 of them major (one I'm still recuperating from) and 1 of them my fault (thankfully the last one...where I sustained physical injuries was not my fault!). So stuff happens regardless...you know? You just never know....
