I'm wondering who uses there teener as a daily driver. Are they stock, or conversion? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Once my car is done, it will be a daily driver. This will mostly be for trips to and from school, but maybe more....so, 30 minutes a day.

it's a stock 2.0l running 8.1:1 compression for cheap gas, and no creature comforts...like a 16 yr old needs a heater or radio right?

As long as I can keep it running, I'll be good, as it should definetly be the coolest car around the school. It's all about the money you're willing to put in though, as a daily driver takes more money than a weekend car, but you know that I'm sure.

make sure it runs well, and the interior and paint looks good. If it is set, then you'll be good to go. If not, it will be the POS vw. Trust me, until I finished the refurbish on mine, people would come over and see my car and be like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

72 not stock, I have used it as a DD, on and off, for 27 years. Three engines, two transmission's and a whole lot of fun.

There are different degrees of Rich, 16 years old and driving a mid-engined Porsche.

Thats Rich to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
