Well the scary day has arrived my child will be behind the wheel, but at least it will be behind the wheel of a 1972 914 1.7l!!! I told her that I would paint it any color she wanted and put any color interior. She has chosen black for the paint, but would like some purple involved on the interior.
SCARED; ANY IDEAS??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |

say goodbye to that 914. i believe a kid's first car should be a throw away cookie cut turd...pre-dented. the insurance companies know this. anyone who thinks their kid is any different is in denial. the numbers dont lie. 914s are, however, fairly safe in a crash. they have a large front and rear crumple zone that absorbs energy from teh impact effectively protecting it's ocupants. a bigger cra is not allways safer, this is a myth. think inertia and energy transfer.

Individual stories are pretty worthless in his area. Statistics are not. Ever wonder why the rates on a 16 year old are through the roof? You might live in the 'hood down here in Bawlmer, and never get your car vandalized or stolen...still doesn't help your rates. Age, geography and yes...vehicle are all factors. Try to insure a 16 year old, in the wrong zip code with a Subaru WRX! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
