16 for the road

As I've mentioned, our youngun is now in the midst of driving lessons.

A new development is afoot, that of an automobile. I've been contacted to seek out my opinion on what I might fund towards this endeavour. The request is for me to cover insurance costs, whilst the actual car cost will be handled there. The reason cited is the need for mobility for sports, volunteer work, school, and the fact we both happen to work a good distance from home.

I'm somewhat amenable to this, however with limits. I really cannot blindly agree to such a cost; my budget is limited, and so too must my contribution to this cause be. If need be, that is if this proves unaffordable overall, I have given my usual arrival time back into this area at night, and am available at any point for parental taxi service.

We shall see where this might go. My work puts significant miles on my car, so it was my intent to pass the car off to her in two years as I moved to a new one... I like the idea of a couple of years car-free.
