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.

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.

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
