That's why I'm harping on driver education. I'd have been thrilled had I recieved something like a 370 when I was 17. I'd also most likely be dead. Unfortunately teens make bad decisions when driving, and in a fast car that can get you killed.

I still think it's irresponsible for parents to buy teenagers fast, expensive vehicles. Don needs to be the exception, not the rule. Drive like a responsible adult, learn to control the vehicle and for God's sake keep the car nice. You got a $30k car at 16. Take good care of it.

I live right near FGCU and there is a young man with a GTR in the apartments my son lives in. My son has seen him passed out in it a few times. I can't imagine why a parent would give their kid a rocket and send them of to go party at collage!

Jesus. I bought my first new car my freshman year in college. It was a $19k 2 door Explorer with power windows. I thought that was over the top. I can't imagine having a $100k car at 18-21.

Yeah, I work at the University here and there's a kid in a white GTR I've seen around a few times. I've also seen plenty of Porsches and other luxury cars.

I would have killed myself with a car like that at that age!

I respect what you're saying and I'm not the type to drive all hectic, I just honestly wanted mods to show off. I currently got stillen g3 intakes installed and alpine speakers, I'm only planning on doing body work from here on

I'm not saying don't mod the car. Just leave the powertrain alone. Find a set of takeoff sport brakes. Get a diff. Mod the suspension when you can tell what needs to be modded by feel. Go nuts with stereo and interior/exterior.
