Baldo: C'mon, Dad... did you really think you and your kids would agree on everything? Baldo: I say 'yes'... you say 'no'... maybe father and son are just a little bit different! Dad: I guess you're right, Baldo. Baldo: Of course I'm right, Dad. Baldo: Now lets go buy my 1964 Chevrolet Impala Ragtop!
Teachable moment, Papi. Have Baldo run the numbers, and come up with a plan for how he is going to stay in school and work and make enough money for either a premade ride, or the ‘some assembly required’ beater. And BTW, what is all that cash doing in a cigar box? Should be in a T-bill in the bank, timed to be available when Baldo is ready for college, trade school, or whatever comes after high school. The kid obviously isn’t afraid of hard work, so some drivable $500 beater is plausible, but a rich man’s toy or a major resto project for a first-timer, is not.
