Boy if i ever got a Maverick or a Comet at 13 and a father that wanted to help me with it i would FREAK OUT!
14 when I got my first Mav. 73 6cyl. With g-60 General Grabbers on Alum. slots on the rear. That look is what sold me on the car at 14. A little car with big fat tires.
Got my first one when I was 15. Drove it for the first time when I was 19, and blew up the motor before I was 21. Its alright though, I've got another one now (22).
