welcome to the forum, I'm still 18 so I just got out a highschool and I've had my B14 all through high school. Your son will learn a lot of lessons in this car, It will serve him very well. Just maintain the car properly and you can beat on this car all day long. Sr20's can take a beating; and if you baby the motor, you can get them to run in to 300k mi. range easily.
