Default Bought my 17 y/o son a car...
Purchased the car yesterday.. cleaned it up to my standards today. MY son is off @ Falls Creek this week (Christian Camp), he has no idea.
2000 GTP.. Leather, loaded.. Runs pretty good for what it is. Hell, i'd like to have it myself. What do ya think..?

Judging by your Sig, i'd say youv'e done quite well!
Thanks for the comments.. I am excited for him!

No ported blowers yet... That is something father/son can build on..

Good buy Matt. Smart keeping him away from the V8 RWD platforms. Just slightly better than my '87 ford escort I was rocking (jumping) back in the day.

You are no fun. Atleast he got something modable. I hate my V6 with a passion. The T/A makes up for it all though.
