say goodbye to that 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I didn't wreck my first car. Nor my second or third. In fact, i never wrecked a car in 30+ years of driving. You guys need to chill out ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Andy |

the best thing about black is that you can accesorize with just about any acsent color and it will look good. What is her favorite color? what things does she like? maybe a theme could be developed based on something he digs. you can go black with teh accent colored center seat panel or a pattern material and tie in teh pattern colors with some vynil graphics. Beige looks great in a black car but might be to old fart for a young girl. I have been thinking emerald green with charcoal in a black car with green side script woujld look hot.
oops...just read that parenting bit...I know nothing about parenting. I know nothing about your child or children in general. I do know alot about the laws of physics and insurance co extensive data collections. I know that math science and data can be used to accurately predict the outcome of a given scenario. these are tools in teh business of risk management. |

Purple vinyl on the dash to replace the basketweave would be fairly simple and fairly reversible.

Individual stories are pretty worthless in his area. Statistics are not. Ever wonder why the rates on a 16 year old are through the roof? You might live in the 'hood down here in Bawlmer, and never get your car vandalized or stolen...still doesn't help your rates. Age, geography and yes...vehicle are all factors. Try to insure a 16 year old, in the wrong zip code with a Subaru WRX! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

i would lean to a used civic or accord as a new drivers daily safe reliable driver - and 914 for some weekend fun. also black is the worst color for others drivers to see you. roads without shoulders are the worst, extra caution required.

I hope Christian still reads this. we are all so opinionated 'round here.
I also kinda like the ricer look where they do black wheels with a color stripe around the outer rim. that color could be the theme color for teh interior. the VW show car sites woujld be a good place for ideas, those guys get really creative and many are colorful yet tastefull. I like where they combine textures and colors. I dig that thing where they use thin foam under teh cloth where the foam has a design carved into it like a chevy bow tie or a VW logo or in her case the Porsche crest. that would be a nice detail on teh head liner. I have also seen indented flames. 914 door panels are so blah so a design with a splash of color would be cool and it flashes at people when she opens the door. her friends would see that her car is specially crafted for her as she enters or exits teh car. she would be reminded of your thoughts every time she opens the door. I would call that the bling-flash. now that I got over the parenting intrusion, the brain storming is kinda fun the stats should all be based on you Andy because you are teh most normal regular guy I have ever met. you look so much like a regular guy, you're tough to spot in a crowd. I have never wrecked any of my cars but does this position me somehow as a statistical average? (@ track dont count) |

Leave the door panels and backpad black, and add purple accents (seats, dash vinyl). Swapping in a spare set of seats takes 15 minutes.
Or go all out and get it all purple. It's your car and it's your daughter. So you get to be in charge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |
