First vehicle??? Car or truck?
Ok so my birthday is coming up in about a month...i'm turning 16 and my mom has been saving up for a nice used car for me for a while. The thing is, I was planning on a used Honda Civic, just because those seem decently priced and pretty safe. But apparently my step-dad is planning on selling his 2000 Dodge Dakota Sport and my mom asked me if I would rather have that instead. It's a decent vehicle, and at least if I got that I wouldn't have to wait to get a vehicle. Plus it would be cheaper. I'm not really sure, I don't really know anything about cars :/ I'm mostly about safety, but I don't know if this truck would be so safe because it's so huge? So pleeassee any advice you have for me, I could really use it right now :) thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Cars?
get the honda. they are easy as hell for maintenance, and will be cheaper in the long run. trucks are great... for hauling shit. if you're not hauling dirt, construction equipment, guns, deer stands, etc., then you're wasting money. trucks guzzle gas because of this. they're more powerful, but if you take a corner too sharp, you'll roll the thing. they are really not that safe. my family has had ten plus accidents with hondas, not a scratch. maybe a dent to the car, but they're built like tanks, and safe as hell. if I got in a similar accident with a truck, i dunno. and I'm a proud owner of a truck. trust me, unless you need it, don't get it. besides, all of your friends will ask you to help them move shit if you get that dakota.
