My family had a similar drunk driving incident long before I was born and about a distant relative I met only twice, but I knew never to drink and drive, if I go out and have a drink I better be planning to stay out for an hour or 2 after for it all to clear out of me. But honestly the texting and driving would have been more of the worry, but a friend of mines older sister crashed and was killed because of it when I was in high school and that effected me greatly, there were no apps then to prevent it, in fact she didn't even have a smartphone, they didn't really exist then.Hmm well I'm not a teenager anymore but I'm not too far from one! I got my first car when I was 17, a '92 vw cabriolet that I bought for $2k. She deffinitely needs a car charger. These days teens are on their phone so much that they die quickly! A week after I got my car I was driving to a friends at 1 am (I know something you don't want to hear) and my clutch went out. I was stuck in a ghetto trailer park at 1 am. My cell phone was dead and my friends was broke. Make sure she has a charger! Anyways long story short my clutch got fixed and I still have that same car and it actually just hit 100k miles today
Also get her a spare key and get yourself a spare key and get your wife a spare key. Because your daughter will probably lose/lock them in and they'll come in handy.
Get her lots of hair ties to put in her car so she can ride with the windows down. Lol
And what I think is the most important, sit down and have a serious talk with her about drinking and driving. I am only 20 years old so I remember clearly about how little teenagers listen to their parents. But I also remember this same talk with my dad and I listened to it. Kids see all the time commercials and Such about what can happen if you drink and drive. But they think itll never happen to them, so you need to make it personal. You need to tell her about when you did something completely stupid and really messed up. My dad told me about when he was driving and hit someone who just happened to be someone he knew and nearly killed them. Not only did that mentally scar him but he also got a DUI causing him to lose his license, job, and house making him homeless. He said it nearly ruined his life and he was lucky to get back on his feet. Of course he went way into detail and it really got to me. It made me never want to do it. But he told me that if I ever got into a bad situation I could call him in the middle of the night even if I lied about where I was at, and he would come get me no questions asked, never bring it up again, and wouldn't even tell mom. I swore I would never drink and drive and I never planned to. One day I told my dad i was going to a friends to study, but really went to a party and drank because I was planning on staying there that night. I ended up getting into a really uncomfortable situation there and I really needed to get home but I didn't want to drive because I had been drinking. So I called up dad at 3 am and he picked me up no questions asked and had hangovers cures waiting on my desk for me in the morning. I was so afraid to walk out of my room and i was ashamed. But when i came out he acted like nothing ever happened and literally was never brought up again... I know this is a huge post and not exactly stuff you want to hear but it can literally be a lifesaver and a huge bonding experience and even more respect from her.
That car is awesome and I know she'll love it. You don't need anymore fancy stuff. Save that for future celebrations.
That drinking story is like A+ parenting in my book, I mean yeah its not good to drink underage, but I mean my parents knew I did a few times, and you were in with friends not out at a huge party type thing, but they knew if they freaked out and yelled you'd be less likely to call again if there was a problem like that and just go, my parents always told me (even before they knew i'd drink some) that if I ever needed a ride because i'd drank they'd come no questions asked and that would be that... they also told me if I ever got a DUI the police officer would be the nice one compared to them (that was after my 21st birthday... and they know if I drink its one drink and never more than 2)
