There is a world of difference between kids growing up in the garage and with grease on their hands and saving their own money for a car. Granted that doesn't give a person common sense but it does teach a lot about how things work and what they are worth. I'm with you on your decision, I lost a lot of friends in the 60's before and after graduation to fast cars, mostly kids who parents had the bucks to buy them cars without a bit of work on their part. My first car was a '65 Falcon with the mighty 170 ci. six. My dad made me save for it and wouldn't sign for anything other than a small six. I have thanked him ever since for his knowing more than I would about my driving. FSSTNOTCH, your parents must have done pretty good by you...congrats on HM1104..come home safe...
