Congratulations to your son on his new purchase. Volkswagen (Belgium) products are strong and I once used a Gulf 4. The problem with it was mostly electrical however, when I had gear issue, it was the cord that broke the Carmel's back. I wish him a long and seamless use of his new ride.
Being able to purchase a vehicle by oneself as a growing adult is a great achievement and for us here, costs a lot of sweats.
No mother is happy seeing their children leaving them at the onset. Gradually it begins to dawn on them and they gradually begin to detach. My mom still wanted and wants me all around her.
As much as we want to go far and independent as children, we try to look back and maybe that's a part reason I'm within the vicinity of my parent's residence
My son has been working very hard for the past year. Taking extra shifts, working many hours and saving a large portion of his paycheque. In addition he is working hard to get good grades (straight 'A's last report) and heading to the gym 5 days a week to keep his body strong. Even still he will have to work even harder if he wants to get into Medical school here. I just keep hoping and praying.
As for mom's wanting their babies nearby. I think that's universal. My mom still wishes I could move closer to her but with my own family that's not going to happen :)
As for your car...sorry to hear it died on you and I know how expensive to fuel up there (even worse here). I needed to stress to my son how important it is to take care of your vehicle properly. Poor maintenance or hard driving can kill your car and I hope he drive it for many years to come :)
Thanks for dropping by :)
You're right, buying a car is a project on its own, maintaining it is another huge subconscious project
