I am not sure how to break the news to my adult son that I am buying a new Bronco and he is not going to drive it. Any suggestions?

Honesty is the best policy. And let’s all forget about this participation trophy nonsense. If you won’t ever let him drive it - look him square in the eye and lay the bad news on him. But, I don’t believe you!

I specifically buy manual transmission vehicles so my daughters CAN’T drive them. Built in Millennial theft device!

You could always use the approach I am using with my adult daughter. I told it is all hers if she can pry it from my cold dead hands. Can you feel the love?

If I know adult sons, he will bring over a case of Bucking Bronco beer. After you pass out, he goes for a joy ride with his girlfriend. Yong adult sons can be creative. ;)

I have stayed consistent with my three adult kids since they were little and it has worked well and they have turned out to be great adults. And being the youngest out of eight kids in an Irish Catholic family it worked for my parent with all of us. A little love and nurturing goes a long way.....but constant mocking and belittling really makes them great adults!
and if they try to get me drunk so I pass out? And that is a big if, my keys will be in the same place Bruce Willis father, hid his watch as a prisoner of war in Nam, from the movie Pulp Fiction. I’m just saying, I try to take my parenting seriously. :LOL::ROFLMAO:

@OtherTimDavis
He’s an adult with his own wallet, so honestly tell him to buy his own damn Bronco! The tell him you love him. :ROFLMAO: (y)

Ironically this is what my dad told me when I was 18. So I did. And now I’m buying a new one!

@BuzzyBud if we hear you have “cold dead hands” within a week of your bronco arriving do we have a suspect?:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

My daughter learned to drive a standard on my 66'. Not even the 3 on the tree can prevent her from driving it lol. She drives a 6sp jeep everyday.

Forget about it. We all have any what we can’t have. You going out of town anytime soon? That boy will be able to show you things that bronco can do that you never thought it can do.

Never thought of that. If I’m going out of town I’m taking the Bronco with me.

My Stinger has, for a lack of better words, a nanny system in it that tracks the location and speeds of the car, in addition, I can set speed settings and geo fence the car to a specific area.

That is all good but if that kid is a deliquient like myself, he or she will find a way to make your new toy their own.
