Listen to them . They talk with experience. Yes its kewl to have the baddest car on campus.Yes you are popular with that killer ride. Yes you can become cold meat in a matter of seconds and take others with you. I made my Son pay for his car , and Insurance. I taught both our kids how to drive , but the Stang is not the car you want at this point in your life. You just think it is. EVERYONE destroyes their first car. You learn on your first car. You repair your first car. Besides , the mandatory Insurance is gonna rape you right off the bat. Get yourself a beater and learn why you slide into a curb in the rain. Why it overheats etc. etc. Keep askin the questions , the only way to learn , and take a few Newsgroup Wedgies along the way , but listen and decide. Besides , save yer cash. You will eventually get that hot ride , it just may take a while.

If you have to get a car, get a econo-box. Something good on gas and insurance that will get you through that learning period. I bought my son an old Nissan 240SX. Was a nice little car and I paid $1,500 for it. 2 week later my ex-wife bought him a brand new Honda Accord just to out do me. 3 months later he totaled the accord. Guess what he drove for the next 3 years and never put a ding in it? You got it, the Nissan.

I don't think that's necessary, but there should be an age requirement related to HP, just like there is for alcohol.

There should be a law that says that anybody under the age of 18 should not be allowed to own a car that costs more than $5000.

Insurance will probably eat you alive, even with an 05-07 V6... I hope you're on your parent's plan.
The new Civics don't look half bad.

, Yeah , but I would want at least a V6 Mustang, even if its not 05, what about an older mustang, like a 03 or 00. I like the Cobra's too, but I heard they are super fast.

I like the Focus ZX3, personally. I've owned one and they're sporty little cars. You don't need a performance car in Highschool... at all. I started driving in my senior year and it was a 4cyl Ranger. My younger brother currently drives it with 119k miles on it.
Technically speaking, I only bought *my* first car about 3 weeks ago and I'm 26. The other cars(ZX3 and Escape) were the wife's. [sm=smiley17.gif]
If your dad is suggesting a 4cyl focus or similar vehicle, it seems he has a brain afterall.
