16yrs old, first car advise?!

I got my '72 when I was 16! now eight years ago, I've spent tons of money on it, and I won't get it back. But It's mine forever, and I'll enjoy the crap out of it! Keep your Duster, when you're as old as your dad, or grandpa, you'll be able to get your money back out of it. Or just keep driving it, making all the rice burner kids jealous! :) Don't ever think about the $$, you'll lose interest fast. Think about how awesome it will be, and how much fun it will be (When it's done, and while it's on its way getting there) My $.02!
