i bought my first car before i could drive it as well and my parents live in gated community so i drove it to get the mail all the time. sounds like your off to a good start! paying for your own car is a great thing it also gets the girls. just pick wisely when the time comes b/c you can only get one girl confortably in a 7

haha that reminds me, i used to have a L shaped drive way, and i could turn around at both ends, so before i had my license, i would drift my car around the turn, before i knew what drifting was. my dad said it was better to learn car control here than on the road. i wasnt going to argue with him.

So that is what you are supposed to do when you have an RX-7..... Where have I been, oh yeah, under the hood or the car.

I took mine in a strange manner. I had the car up on ramps and I lifted it with my feet and hands to get it in. oh, I had a little help from a stick, but the thing went in nicely. Oh, I bought my dads RX-7 when I was 13 or 14. Now I drive it 6 years later.

I dated this girl, and when we were hanging out with a couple of my friends they decided to tell her about how big of an ******* I am. They told her I make all girls lay in the back hatch of my car because they weren't allowed up front. She took me seriously, and the first few times she rode with me, she automatically hopped in the hatch and laid down. There is definitely room for two girls back there and one up front.

Oh yeah, and definitely congrats on the install of the clutch. They can be a pain in the *** sometimes. I helped a friend install a clutch on his BMW, and that transmission liked to have never went back in. It was a heavy bastard.
