2000 gt

This is my son's first car. Its a base 5spd. I like it, and he loves driving a stick. He turned 16 last Thursday, and asked me for rims for it. He asked his mom for an iPod adapter for his OEM head unit.

Giving him fatherly advise I suggested 17's, but being the "independent" 16 y/o and not a "car freak"(as he calls me) he wanted to stick with the OEM size for it, so I didn't argue, it's his car. (I didn't have to buy tires for it so I didn't give him any grief.)

I have added a couple mods to it without his consent tho! A short shifter and a S2K antenna. I just couldn't help it! I had to do it! His mother, has forbidden me from modding our sons car....yeah right! She ended up getting him a New Kenwood, head unit with iPod capabilities.

I just pray this car keeps him safe!



Here's a few pics

The Rims he chose!

Very nice.

I hope it keeps him safe and he takes care of it. I still miss my first car, even if it was an auto ae92 corolla haha

Thanks me too!

I try to teach him how to take care of it, but is he listening? Only time will tell! I certainly hope so

This is the only car he gets from his Dad...The next one he buys!

Looks nice, what size are those wheels? 15" tires are MUCH less expensive than 16 or 17" tires.
