Every 16 year old needs two cars....

Yes! One for racing and one to drive around. Early Christmas present? I see a big red bow.

This actually makes life a lot easier for my wife and I. Daughter will be much more independent, have all of the modern safety features like side and side-curtain airbags, traction control, vehicle stability, navigation....and be able to keep her little red Miata baby safe in the garage. :yesnod: |

I was likely the only 16 year old I knew with two cars. I bought a 69 Camaro couple months after I turned 16 (August '77) and then a 67 Charger a few months later. Sold the Camaro, bought a 67 Chevelle and then sold the Charger. Traded the Malibu in during my senior year for a fairly new '76 RS Camaro. I had four cars in the last two years of high school. Over 160 since!:BADRACR1:
Congrats to the daughter. |

Nice ride.
I didn't have two cars when I was 16, but I did when I was 18. Got tired of my '57 Corvette being a daily driver. |
Nice ride! I've enjoyed every Subaru I've had, and I've had several!

NO BACK SEAT ROOM. :hurray: It's truly a 2+2, so like the Vettes, she'll likely only ever have 1 passenger. Considerably less distraction for a new driver. :yesnod: |
Very nice looking Subaru Craig! And congratulations to G-wiz, enjoy that new ride. :)

She was definitely brought to tears. :yesnod: When questioned about the car-related events in her life, I think she still rates hearing her Miata fire for the first time, just "slightly" above getting a brand new car. She definitely has her head screwed on right. :seasix: |
Man...that car is/was on my short, non-corvette list but I hadn't driven one yet...hate to hear about the acceleration because that was key for me.

I admire you and your wife for the great job you have done in raising your daughter, but I really like how you are not afraid to show how proud you are of her. :seasix:
Most of my friends parents and my own parents seemed to love putting their kids down. I wish I could say it didn't affect me, but I would be shitting myself. |

"IF" my daughter had the shopping bug, or a sense of self entitlement, this transaction would have NEVER occurred. As a child who has never had a grade worse than an A-, is working on her 3rd Degree black belt, feeds the homeless, and is a car nut through and through, she is the 1 in a hundred who deserves something like this. Liz's kid is the only other one I've ever met who would qualify for this criteria. My daughter hates to shop and asks for, nor spends a dime. She's just like her mother. Ya'll have watched G grow, and watched her build cars, and she's going into the car building industry. This is just another rung in the ladder to her ultimate success. We certainly live vicariously through our children, but if she were a fuck-up, she'd be on her own in a BIG way. :yesnod: |
