Haha, were starting to go crazy. Recycling info and hostility. Everyone is biting off the heads of each others asking stupid questions. I apologized in advance to all the NOOBS.

I understand how bad the urge is to own a fast car at 16 and you probably won't understand what I am suggesting until you are older, but I recommend you to settle for a more fun and more fitting 16 years old car first then work your way up. If your parents have the means to buy you a car then have them buy you a small manual car first, ie Civic Si, Mazda Speed3, or GTI. Something that is fun and reliable. You will be going through college, parties and lots of moving and most likely your car will take lots of beating.

This supposedly 14 y.o. kid signed up and posted in 2 threads in less than 3 minutes. I'm betting it's a BS thread anyway. If it's not BS, then it's just some kiddie that was bored yesterday.

Hate to preach but attaining things should come with an understanding of their value.

Why are you asking this question on this board?

1. Only you know if it's too much to ask for. We don't know your dad.

2. I'm sure of regardless of what people say on here you're going to ask for and get a 135i.

3. I think that this is extravigant for a first car, or for any car that was being purchased for you.

4. I think you should buy your own car like most people do. Maybe you should work towards saving for a car, and prove yourself as a responsible young man, and then ask your dad if he can help you out with buying a reasonable car.

5. I'm not hating, and I know you're very young, but you get two thumbs down for asking that question.

6. That all said, I'm sure you're still asking dad for the car.

larryn · 08-23-2007, 01:00 PM

The 14 y.o. probably doesn't know anything about "earning" anything, with the exception of the $15/week he or she gets for bringing the trash cans to the curb on Thursday mornings, and unloading the dishwasher every other day.

I'm still thinking this is a fake user/bogus post.

Of course not. most of them don't have licenses for these parties because they were too busy bawling about how their mom brought the wrong color nail polish and how their life (not just the day) is ruined to go to the DMV and sit in line with all the poor people.

Some funny quotes:

"Oh my God, Dior is like closed."

"People are normally jealous of me because I'm pretty."
