You have a showpiece car, its well restored and tuned, and its got hundreds of hours of your sweat equity in it..and its also your most relaible car...in my case its my SAAB 9000, which looks brand new..your teenager wants to drive to some Concert on a rainy night with her friends and you want her to get their safely, but you know when she gets back, there will be coffee and McDonald's stains on the Carpet, at least one delicate feature broken, not to mention the engine revved to 5 grand, and every cool feature of the car played with like Curious George the Monkey (thats what I call my daughter)...

Whats your answer? take her little banger with its 1.5 liter engine on a turnpike with trucks whose tires ouweigh her car or let them use the SAAB?
