You'll get no flames from me, young man!

I think your father is one smart man - what you are learning in school now
will be worth MUCH more to you in your life than any job normally available
to 21 year olds can ever be. You're lucky that he can afford to do this for
you, and I think your attitude is spot-on. Keep up the good work.

The stereotype of a young person in a nice car is best put forth by the old
song "She'll have fun fun fun till her daddy takes the T-bird away . . . "
You've just shown me that at the very least there is ONE young person out
there somewhere who is doing it right.

And BTW - I had a Daewoo racer as a rental car once (overseas) - argghhh!
Whatta heap of junk, only 30K KM on it, and ready for scrap.
