I have no memories of September 1st, good or bad. 😁 School started mid-September here. Now it starts after the first week of September.
I hope you found a suitable car for your son. First cars are usually not great, but people tend to remember them and the adventures they had with them.
Yes, he bought a car, and you are right, the memories of the first car stayed forever engraved in our heads... :) I hope it will serve him well and create a lot of nice memories...
