Biggest piece of advise. Don't think you can drive better than you can. This car can get away from you if you're hot-dogging it. Not saying that you would, but I would've at 17.

You can learn a lot on here. Some from other's misfortunes and a lot just from good old info-swapping.

Did you already add all of the extra body work or did you buy it that way?

But no worries about the next car, enjoy this on and good job getting good grades!

Thanks for the welcome from everybody, and i bought the 370 that way. The previous owner bought the touring package then added the nismo body kit on afterwards. And i will try to keep it under control, i have already had some fun in it, i love the car already.

Congrats! Nice First Car! Be careful. My dad was nice enough to get me an AWD Turbo Eclipse, and then I got a speeding ticket (60 in a 30), their went the car. Then I got a Sweet Purple Saturn SL1 5spd, crank windows, no air.
