Actually, just my guess but her dad sounds like a car guy. By 16, my daughter *will* know how to drive.

hey intro, bring it up (and a blank check)

Kenteth - EXACTLY! She is enrolled in BMW driving school. Oh did I forget to tell you guys she is a motoX'r. This kid can drive! I am going for the "oh **** did you see that girls car" reaction from the highschoolers. I have the resources to do this so what the hell, why not.

I sent my 16 year old to driving school ending in 140 mph open wheel Fords.

He was the only one of his group who did not have a SERIOUS car or motorcycle accident in High School.

With a two seater, only one passenger to distract the driver.

Make sure the Vert top is in good working condition and Has ZERO rips or tears in it. Leeks are a real bitch! And upgrade the stereo; at least the speakers. The stock unit isn't horrible, but the speakers such major. Especially with the top down. Sometimes i forget i have my stereo on...

as long as she has some driving school and is mature about it, i think the fc will be a good choice for her. im glad my fc wasnt my first car, but i do regret having to learnt the hard way (totaling) how to be a better driver with my first car, a little honda hatchback.

an n/a is a pretty safe car because it doesnt have too much power to get into trouble with, but has plenty of brakes and handling ability to get out of trouble.

te only real downside for an n/a as a first car is the diligence and money it can take to keep one on the road, but it sounds like you are taking care of that.

ok, I can build a rotary blindfolded, but I cant seem to post a picture. Does anyone have a link to a thread that can teach this old dog a new trick.

what a pain, anyway, here is the mustang vert spoiler on the back of a fc3c. If your going to do this drop me a note, a few key things are necesay to watch out for. you do have to remount the antenna somehwere (I havent done that yet).

So I guess that makes my rx-7 a pony rotary, right?

looks pretty good. I have a 91 vert and I often think it might just be missing something back there
