No problem Mark, I've seen what the Reno SCCA does for their street survival course, after that I wouldn't let my son get a license without going through several of these classes. I don't know exactly where you are but it looks like there is one in San Diego in April.

Good luck, she certainly has a nice ste of wheels!

Great job, Pops!

Ask her to let you borrow it one Saturday night. See how far that goes.

MarkinAZ · 04-06-2015, 08:37 PM

About as far as she can throw me Jamie

Ok, she's now in possession of the WRX, and here's a few pix:

The "jammed packed" engine compartment isn't quite like my 1963 Bonneville convertible with a 389 V8 that I used to own when I was her age. It was a great open engine compartment, and so easy to work on that engine too. Different times...

Yup, you could basically adjust anything with a screwdriver and wrench, now you practically need a computer just to change the battery.

Great looking car and nice color.

Congratulations to you and your baby girl, my brother!!!

Mark, my baby girl bought a new car right around the same time yours did.
The little spud was 18 in September, 3 jobs, finishing high school, and taking college courses at Penn State.
The best part is that I'm out of the loop. I was paying to keep up her Envoy and it was tough. I couldn't do any of the wrenching, she's over in PA and I'm in Ohio.
She's footing the whole bill now, says half her payment is gas money saved.

But I get to take over paying for college, so I think she won. As always.

I had a '72 Valiant I paid $150 for, then an $800 '74 VW Bug, then a $500 '76 Daytona Charger. She's doin a little better than me.

MarkinAZ · 04-18-2015, 12:11 PM

And congratulations to your "little spud" Scott. She sounds like a go getter. I paid $200 for my 63 Bonneville in 1971 (sans the $$ I put into it to bring it up to specs). Main thing is, is was paid for and all mine
