Amen to that one...experience is the best teacher.

You mentioned you want to get into street racing...My advice is do NOT do it at your young age. Go to a track first and foremost.
Who cares if you run high times...you are gaining experience and you will be putting less ppl in danger. PPL at a track will usually help you more than any "street racing" friends will anyway.

Personally I think the car you have is perfect for someone of your age to learn on and then move on to something bigger when you have the basics down.

If you want some help on the basics e-mail me at brandx99@yahoo.com I am not a mechanic but I started from the ground up and can help you with the milestones I encountered
