Test drive.

I just took my car for its first road drive, and it was my first road drive with that car. its a 81 rx-7, it seems to be runninh pretty good, suspension can use work but its decent, and the speedometer needs to be adjusted, so tips on that would be appreciated, that ride wassss VERY fun, flyin around turns and burn outs lol, sucks that i have to wait till my moms goes out lol the engine got kinda hot, would that be normal because i drove it hard and it hasnt been running like that in 3 months. but all in all i love my rx-7

if i were you, i honestly wouldnt drive it until you and it are legal, if you get caught, you will regret it SOOOO much. you will not be able to get your license until you 18. well i dont know the canadian rules. but becareful, dont take this as a scolding, but a warning. and good luck with her!!

Yeah you gotta be careful. I didn't drive my 7 on the road without tags on it, but I did drive it up and down my alley until tags were on her LOL. Put 100 miles on her just up and down a 600 or so foot alley LOL I did though drive her for a lil with expired tags. Almost got busted for it once, but our cops here are slow LOL
