This.Originally posted by HUNCH View PostGet him the GT. When he gets the job, make him pay insurance and fuel costs. He will get what he wants, and paying for insurance and fuel will help him appreciate what it costs to own something nice, while not breaking his bank too bad. IF he decides to join, sell and buy something that will accomodate him later. Most V-8 Mustangs in good shape, resale fairly well.
He gets what he wants, and he'll take care of it since it's what he wants, and he won't be rolling in a sixxer. If you get him a V-6, all the V-8 kids will give him shit and it will get old.
Dont get him a v6. Its just NoT right. Get him an old/early style stock stang. But dont castrate him by getting him a v6.... Dayyyum.

I think a reg cab v6 pick up is the way to go. That is what my son is getting.

at 16 I would have rolled an SUVOriginally posted by talisman View PostI think a V-6 Escape is the way to go. Decent milage, space, cheapish. Xterra's are for 19 year old girls.

Silverado/Sierra 1500 4.8/5.3 and make sure it doesn't have a g80 rear (limited slip), get an open diff.

SUV's = cramming a bunch of friends in it = big time distractions while driving.

Dude, just get him a GT. And make it a stick, every MAN should know how to drive a stick. It's not really that fast, but it sounds good and looks good and he'll think it's fast. Plus it sends a signal to him that you have a little bit of trust that he won't F up.

But then again, I think everyone should own a fullsize truck when they're young and have friends and are moving around all the time. I think you're on the right track. Just let him drive a couple of different cars and see what he thinks.

He's mostly white, dude.Originally posted by LaserSVT View PostPanther platform car. Cheap parts, easy to work on, very safe and even though its a RWD V8 car they aint fast. I have several customers pushing 300k on theirs and the cars are still rock solid.
fox body +$2k?
I had a 97 v8 Explorer that was fun, roomy to move around in, etc. You can get a nice one for what he is able to spend.
