Teenager V6 250 to V8 350

My dad had a friend in school that had a hot rod buick, and in showing off, tried to beat the train, and didn't make it, so I had a VW bug as my first car, my second oldest bought a 91 talon with the turbo, and although he didn't get hurt, tore up axles, transmission and transfer case trying to get the front wheels off the ground. I drove the crap out of that bug, fortunatly it only had 60hp. You know your kid better than any of us. I'd do it but be ready to take the keys and make him take the bus if he abuses the truck. On the other hand my youngest, has a '69 with a 350 and has never had a ticket.

As my dad did for me I have done with 4 boys, you pay the gas and insurance, and if you break it you are a foot til you fix it. I help them with the mechanics, but the parts come out of their pocket. If something breaks that was not their fault, I chip in for parts.
