Based on your profile, you are 16, so I imagine this is your first car (might be second, but either way you don't have a lot of experience). You need a car that you don't care when you hit a mailbox, or get sideswiped, because it will happen.

Not only that, but just because mommy and daddy have 10k budgeted for you, does not mean you should spend it all. Insurance on this car will be sky high, and parts / labor will be expensive. Don't expect not to have to repair anything or you are in for a rough ride.

Get a little beater Toyota Camery or something.



Hey, let the boy blow budget and find out the hard way of how it is to own a nice car.


This is obviously why I asked if this should be my first car. My main goal is to not
"blow budget" so pretty useless comment if you ask me. Thank you 002 for a relevant comment.

Just telling you it isn't easy driving around a nice car...especially as your first.

Think twice where you park...Worry about it at night in your drive or on your street sidewalk...

really check your self if you dare go to walmart or any other shady parking lot store with that baby

Don't forget spending $15,000 on the car, getting in an accident that doesn't matter if it was your fault or not, then insurance companies giving you car value of $5,000 for a new one.

- best of luck :thumbsup:


Edit: Don't forget your friends who are careless with others property and can't respect it...

Little story: Drive a friend to school everyday, had the biggest backpack of them all. Refused to lean the car seat forward to put his backpack in the back seat...Be me, constantly tell him to lean the seat forward. Be him, don't give two shits. Be me, notice the back side of your passenger seat is all scratched to shit. Be him, walk to school.


Edit 2: sorry if my first comment came off a little harsh.

Its all good! Im sorry as well. I just picked out the 370z just because its super nice. This just brings me back when my brother was 20 and had a mustang and was working at a Walmart. He damaged his door and was unable to pay to fix it. I guess I thought I would be more responsible then him but anything can happen.

Yeah, it really don't matter. I bought my truck as a work truck but it looks too nice to use as a work truck. My older brother was going through drivers ed (he got kicked out of school so I did drivers ed before him), and of course you don't want to pull up in my moms '94 Ford Aerostar (ugly minivan), so they would take my truck everyday to pick me up and drop him off. One day while pulling into a parking spot he hit the cement base of one of the light poles and scratched up my nice chrome bumper lol.

I plan on selling my truck next year and I'm going 1 of two ways. Get the old dented, rust POS Ford Ranger, or get an '09-'14 F150. I wouldn't mind the F-150 for the reliability of a newer vehicle, but it will end up like me truck- a pavement princess.
