Did that with my daughter. She wanted a Mustang, when she turned 16 we got a 67 coupe with good body but needed tlc and detailing. She got a learners permit, then license. I bought a $50 Mercury wagon and told her she could drive for a year while we restored the Mustang. She got all the crashes, etc out of the way and the hours and money she put into the Mustang made her respect and cherish it. Also gave her good mechanical skills that have helped her all her life. Watched her better off friends destroy the "nice" expensive cars their daddies bought them.
