My wife came home the other day crying because her lights were flickering and the car was acting like it wanted to stall... her battery cable was loose, but she's not familiar with things like that, so I didn't say anything. Had she had enough knowledge to determine that on her own, I'd probably have just told her to solve the problem on her own. (I'm not very nice about things like that.)
My Son's first car will be whatever he gets his hands on, can afford mostly on his own, and/or has built/fixed mostly on his own. If he wants to get a bike (hopefully he will, but I won't force it), it'll more than likely be a $200 beater that he'll have to fix up before he can ride it.
If our next (last) child is a Daughter, the same rules apply. No preferential treatment based on sex - these are life skills for EVERYONE to know.
