Long before they were old enough to drive, my two girls knew that they would drive what they were offered - or drive whatever car they wanted to buy, register, and insure.

They also had to check their tire pressures and fluid levels every Saturday.

In addition, they could not go out driving alone until they could show their mother that they could change a tire.

Chris changed a flat on her work truck, a Dodge AWD, in the prairie potholes in Saskatchewan,

My uncle Red told me - Second class riding beats first class walking every time.

It sounds like your girl friend already has done plenty for them already - Perhaps they need a lesson on how to be grateful for what they get.

Thanksgiving day would be a great time for a teaching opportunity. (Either that, or fix up the basement for their future bachelor/bachelorette pad)
