Steve, Sometimes things can get misconstrued on the Internet. The way I understood your 1st post was you explaining that you could not afford to make a mistake for Your car due to you being single and father to a young girl. I think some of the others thought the car was for your daughter.
Congrats on your purchase of the car out in CA. I had encouraged to look there in a pm. I hope that after the beginning of next year, that we can get a Mid-Florida 914 get together. That will give you a chance to have your car for a little bit, and rfuerst, bcheney, watsonrx and I time to get our cars running. T.C. |

not trying to rain on your idea, but you may want to consider a nice used civic or the likes as a inexpensive safe and reliable first car. if you must at least get the nicest solid 914 out there to start off with. i've been through the "lets build your first car" with both my boys (mustang & 914) and in hinde site i would never do that again simply for safety and reliability. get a builder if your daughter is interested in a second or "special" car or you are interested. statistics are a new drivers have 100% chance of an accident. which would you have your daughter in until thats out of the way? thank god when mine went thru a cinderblock wall he had air bags or the other one flipped over it was in a honda (i won't say anymore) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) but the nice 914 is set aside, used for fun and will last many more years this way.
