    Is a Turbo Buick a good starter/project car for a teenager?

    It's something he's always wanted to be apart of and it's a car that he likes. I'm so familiar with 4th gens and LS motors but he wants to be apart of a build. Keep in mind that when my kid was 5-6 he grabbed a wrench, ratchet and socket out of my toolbox and took off his own training wheels...
