Can I get a warm welcoming?

Hey everyone, I just purchased my very first car which happens to be a 1988 AE from ROTRY PWR. Thanks for the smooth transaction and hopefully the car will run smooth till my funds get rejuvinated. Well first things first, I live in Mississauga ON and yes I'm a young driver but hey what can i say. I want to get into my passion for cars at a young age so here i am doing that. At the moment the car is being stored in my garage till i can pay the debt off so i can truly own it and drive it around with pride (give me about 4-6months) but i'm ready to start my 4-6month learning period so when i start driving it, i'll be pro if anything happens. I'd love to learn from all of you and hope you can take me under your wing because i know you all have lots of experience and knowledge so i'd love to suck that all up haha. But ya, that's mainly it. I'll be starting to go on everyday and reading threads and meeting people. Thanks in advance.

Welcome,

Congrates on the car. AE's are rare so keep it clean (don't drive in winter). Just be careful of the info you get on here and come to our meets.

Amkard told me you live around the corner from me. Congrats. You should've offered him 50 more bucks and purchased the 1988 Mazda Rx-7 Service manual as well.

Welcome aboard.
You say you are a younger driver, but it already sounds like you have you head in the right place! Read as: gaining knowledge about the car first.

You're requesting a warm welcome?

You'll have lots of fun, but beware that you will likely be treated harshly and flamed outside of the gentle confines of the Canadian forum. Stick it out though.

Hope you like buying gasoline. Because I just put 65 litres of sunoco 94 costing me 66.24 CDN. That only lasted me 410 kms this time. Had a bit too much fun with the gas pedal once the clutch was nicely broken in...

Just make sure your car doesn't 50 dollar you to death. 50 here, 50 there, 50 more elsewhere ads up.

Then add gas, and insurnace and entrance fees... woah!
