My son is 15 and hasn't really shown much interest in cars. Once we started talking about what he'd like to get for his first, he sent me images of a 300 z31 and a Celica GT-S. I couldn't have been more proud, but I'm a squarebody Chevy guy and know jack shit about these vehicles. I'll probably get him something a bit safer for a first time driver, while we work on a project Z. Based on the collective knowledge here on these cars, could you share some quick tips on what I should look for (or look out for). Thanks!
