That's awesome. I was very lucky to have this car as my first. Definetly taught me a few things about driving a semi-quick car at an early age. A few of my friends had DSM's at the same time, one had a 3g GST and another had a 2g GSX that was damn quick. I think everyone my age at that time underestimated the power of compression because I rolled everyone of them up consistantly. Back then if your car was turbo you were the s***, untill a little Honda ruined their morale... lol. But yeah, I would do anything to have that car back. It was flawless, type R wing, Black Mica with 6 coats of clear (I really like black mica!), and a set of Enkei seven spoke carbon gray wheels. I need to stop before I buy another one! I was planning on getting one as a project car and keeping some miles off of my MSP, but I think I will go with something RWD. Probably a S13.
What car did you have at 16?

yeah I was thinking about getting a 240 and working on that or a 300zx. It's very tempting now. To make it worse, a guy near where I live is selling a skyline R32 or R33, can't remember which one and a 97 or 98 Supra in mint condition, no scratches, no mods other than exhaust, never raced or seen track time, has all paperwork to include daily maintenance records. He is getting ready to get the new Skyline GTR. The guy is in is late 40s. I would love to have that supra or that skyline.
R32 FTW. My favorite Skyline by far...

My first car
I bought a 1968 Shelby GT 350 Mustang for $4,000 when I was 16. Used all of my paper route money for this car. My Dad made me sell it when the first insurance bill came in the mail.(sadbanana)
