I know crazy but his sponsors did get him a 458 Italia so i guess he doesn't need it.
So your uncle's time attack car is a 370z?

How much money/allowance are you going to get? Contact the insurance company in new year. When I was 18 in 2003, my insurance for my 1991 Nissan 240sx (car valued at $3000) cost me $1800 a year, stayed mostly the same 2 years afterwards. Now that I'm 26, it only costs me barely $300. I did test try a quote for a 350z when it was brand new and got a quote nearly topping $4200 a year.

If you're 15, don't key in on material things. I used my money to travel 4 (not including Canada and Mexico) different countries within 6 years of college. The experience itself far outweighs getting a brand new car....cuz you know....you can ALWAYS get a new car when you're older.
