You are one cool dad. What’s that a Subaru Impreza WRX? Looks really well maintained too.[/quote]
2003 WRX. When I gave it to him most performace work was completed other then suspension. Now it sits 1.3 inches lower on inverted coils, along with a ton of suspension work. Very fast car for a 2.0L. It leaves the line at 15 pounds of boost with all four wheels ripping and griping.
What’s with all the nice cars as a first vehicle? you guys all spoiled or loved wasting hard to come by money when you were 16 or what? Holy ufck. I still drive a $300 car (first gen dodge intrepid) that I haven’t done much with except tac on a tie rod, some pads, and coat of tractor paint.

My girlfriend in 12th grade had one of these, talk about being a contortionist.[/quote]
HA!! The driver side door on mine was racked up and wouldn’t open, so I had to get in through the passenger side and maneuver into the driver’s seat without the stickshift going up my ass. I could hop in like Magnum PI when the top was down, though.
280,000+ miles, lots of rust, holes in the floorboard, tailgate fell off several times, shag carpet on the dashboard that I custom installed. Happened to be the time when Dumb and Dumber came out. “Hey, chicks love it. It’s a shaggin’ wagon.” If you turned the wheel too hard the truck would stall, instantly deactivating power anything.
The Monarch was my first car, but I took my drivers test in my parent’s 1978 Olds Custom Cruiser Station Wagon. Man, if you could parallel park that baby, you can parallel park anything.
