Our 16 year old is a cheerleader who I’ve been taking back and forth to the gym for years, it’s actually satisfying that she is able to drive herself to the gym, the 4 times a week, herself now.
Consider it cost of doing business. That $2000 plus increase has freed you to do so much more in other activities. That said, I agree with some of the other comments on vehicle choices etc.
My wife always said the only reason teenagers get driver’s licenses is because their parents get tired of driving them everywhere.
I’m fixing up an old Saturn for my 15 year old grandson who will get it this summer along with his license.
