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. |

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) but now, its (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (oh, and some people will think you're rich...16 year old and a old car/porsche) |

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.
