I remember those days. Mom's old Accord with the V6, moonroof, and leather, wasn't that sexy, but once it had daughter's full-length MC Escher-style butterfly decals on it and her tunes plugged in, it turned out to be a pretty nice ride.
This Spring we gave her the down payment on a Hyundai Kona, with AWD and a turbo and let her leverage the rest herself as an exercise in adulting.
