Before you get your panties in a knot I clearly stated that I don't know you or your son. He could the most responsible person in the world. I was simply giving my opinion which you clearly were looking for since you made this post. I,me, myself, this guy typing would not give my son a nice car ever. Unless he got a scholarship then I'd buy him something with the money I save. You stated in your first post that you purchased the car for your son, that was what I was responding to, now you say he bought it himself. That's a different story if he saved the money for it tthen most likely he will respect it. As for the racing if its on the track I have no problem with it. Again I was simply stating my opinion and how I would handle the situation as it pertains to me. Once again good luck with the car and I
hope it runs well for a while. You wont last long on this site if you take offense to everything people say. There's always gonna be people that don't like something or other
on your car or your lifestyle. That's why i say to each there own.

well good luck with the car and imo, wrong choice for this kid and 5 cars before he's 18?? either you are inflating the truth here or you are spoiling your son and i don't mean that in a good way. 16 is the legal driving age,so how long has he been operating a vehicle illegally??? as others has stated, it's not a matter if,but when the crank will walk. for some reason,i feel that the orginal motor is not in the car. a first gen motor is strong and will not walk. enjoy it for a month and sell it FAST!!

the red flag went up when you mentioned the fast and the furious lol

in all seriouness,it's your son and your/his money. the web is just expressing our thoughts and you do what makes ya'll happy,but consider some of the advice.

paint one color and that'll improve that right away, maybe some wheels. I had a 94 eclipse, wish I did not trade it in but eh. I still want a 99 model, but finding an unmolested one is not real easy.
