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.
Originally posted by 46Tbird View PostDude, 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.
Don't get him a V6 Mustang. Oh man can you imagine how much you would HATE to drive around in an old shitbox V6 Mustang? Don't do that to your son.
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.

I vote V6 extended cab Ranger. My buddy had a 96 that ran forever and We beat the crap out of it.
Explorers are good, too, but a pickup is more versatile.
As for the v6 Mustang, he may not care at first, but once he has one, he'll only wish he had a real one, I mean a v8.

I got a 1995 Nissan 200sx w/ 5sp. I still have it today and i'm graduating college in May. I don't think i will ever get rid of it. I learned how to work on on cars with it blowing up and it taught me many other lessons.Originally posted by 56482only on DFWMUstangs...

Originally posted by Rick Modena View Post1993/95 Ford Lightning, its cool, rare and not enough power to get in trouble, but it can tow or haul lots of stuff and with the right exhaust sounds like a beast. Only three passengers (two 93-94), you are very familar with the platform, ease to work on and parts are very cheap.Originally posted by Cobraman View Post4k?
