Default Benjamin's first street car....

So, my older son turned 16 back in September and has been saving his $$ for about 6 years - race winnings, birthday and Christmas gifts, snow shoveling, lawn cutting, landscaping, etc.... He really wanted a 2010 Camaro 2SS, but the price! The next best was an LS1 Trans Am, and after 18 months of looking and following - it showed up on Thanksgiving morning at a small Dodge dealership in Lewistown, PA! There were no pics because it hadn't been through dealer prep yet, but we went out the next day and I could tell as soon as he saw it - it was a done deal! It was exactly, to the 'T', what he was saving for and they accepted our one and only offer. We went back out the next week to pick it up, a 2001 Trans Am, Ram Air induction, WS6 Performance Package, a/t, black interior, T-tops, Monsoon sound system, etc... Was previously owned by a young woman who stashed it away each Winter, so not a scratch on it after just 61k miles. He was pumped to say the least, and now he plans to race both his Jr Dragster and the T/A at Maple Grove Raceway! Time sure marches on....

What an aweso.e car for a young man's first car. Based on what you have written it is obvious he was taught well on the topics of responsibilty, saving and many other things many young people seem to not understand. Enjoyď
