Beautiful car, I hope your daughter has many happy and healthy miles with it !!!!
Here's my thread about my 16yo daughters car:

I think most people's comments are well intentioned, and then there's always a creep or two.

Of course, I would never wish any harm to befall anyone, but if pointing out that sometimes there can be unintended consequences for "too much, too soon", then I'm happy to be a "creep". I would imagine any parent whose child has been in any jeopardy because of a young, inexperienced person with a powerful car would also agree.
Sorry my original post on this thread was misconstrued

On the flip side, I guess I fall on deaf ears in being the lone wolf here who was fortunate to have one of these young. Somewhat of a leap of faith on my parent's part to assist me in getting that 911 before I could totally afford it on my own. But I think in the nearly 32 years that have elapsed, I've been able to "pay back" the community a thousand fold or more. And damn right I'll be boastful about it.
Funny that I ran into a guy in a Lowe's parking lot in Roseville up by my mom's this morning. Spotted a beautiful orange '71T Targa. Owner was coming out just as we were parking. Turns out the car was his neighbor's when he was a kid, and he had been detailing it for the guy starting when it was a couple of years old. Had the chance to buy it when the owner was getting his new '77 (poor guy), but he was a little too cash poor. Finally got it in '83. Has had a couple of 930s along the way, he said. But he was entrusted to drive the car as a teen, and didn't wreck it.
Or maybe it's only these damn young kids who don't appreciate anything? Might explain my cousin's son in USF2000, doing reasonably well, and is two steps below Indycar. At 19. Which was the age Vettel got his ride in the Toro Rosso, if I recall.......
