haha... yep yep.........

Be careful, i just bought a car parts from a guy that gave the car to his son.

The damage pics are in my thread, I dont think it can be recovered. But not all boys are the same.

Not all sons crash their cars, my Crown Vic was my first car passed on by my Father (and no it wasn't stock when he gave it to me). It's been 9 years now.

If you are building this for your son, and you are indeed building something modified....don't forget to train your son as well. I can attribute me not totaling my car to the fact that I had lots of driving experience before I ever had a car. I used to drive my go-kart around the fields at my old home for hours a day, had one since I was 7-8 years old. Practice practice practice!

Um... not to be a downer, but the guy that started this thread only has one post. Maybe he's not coming back.
