Lets see.... I live in Alaska and I'm considering a 35 year old car for my soon to be 16 year old daughter. Whom I love dearly. I want her to be safe and warm at all times. During those long months of summer (3 weeks) she'll be out roaming the roads in a car that might get 12 mpg (8-10 realistically), has very few safety features and probably will lack something in the reliability dept. Then we have winter time (49 weeks). Traction in the snow. None. Cold cranking ability. Suspect. Windshield wipers. Frozen. $5000.00 on a motor? Buy the girl a low mileage front wheel drive car with some air bags and seat belts and a place to plug in her cell phone. Fix the GTO for yourself to drive on those good days. Show her you love her, give her something boring and reliable. You won't be there all the time.
