Sounds good, but the pretty powerful engine together with a pickup
weighing no more than 600 lbs in the rear can be an interesting
combination.. But we all have to learn.. :-) Do you think he is prone
to racing and wrecking it, or is he more responsible? (parents may not
be the best to know this.. :-)) 


My first car was a 5k Turbodiesel. Drove pretty good, powerful enough
for normal driving. I bought it when I'd just turned 18. I fixed it up
and sold it two years later for 4 times as much as I paid for it.. :-)
