my parents made me work by mowing yards since I was 12
when I turned 16 I finaly got my first car a gsx awd turbo 5 speed
that lasted 3 months and they told me they let me get it as a test
get him a ford taurus, I had one I loved it(97 loaded with black exterior and peanut butter leather interior)
and you considering an m3... thats about the most idiotic parent move ever
So no to a Z06?

Hmmm...is she single? ;)
Sorry for the thread jack.
No clue, but a search of the internet shows that she got a doctorate from Columbia a few years ago, so she would probably be a pretty good catch even without the family money! ::Banana::Quote:

Ford Ranger. It will support his height, you can use it to haul stuff, and large groups will take someone else's car.Quote:

I got a VW Golf diesel as my first car and it had been wrecked, no grill, no bumper cover, turn signals coat hanger wired to the radiator, no paint on the hood or fender. Slow as a dog, but had great gas mileage and cold a/c.
$500.
I'll take it! ;)Quote:

Still gets about 28-30mpg. 4 speed auto. It's peppy but not fast. And I wear a 13 shoe. And Karter Bollmann (6'3) used to own one.
Interested? :)
How's that vagina working out for ya?Quote:

After you sold the GT3 out from under him, he probably doesn't.Quote:

I'd never drive anything after something so traumatic as that!
My parents bought one new. Still sits behind my brothers shop.Quote:

Actually, the Allen band is the largest high school marching band in the state. With something like 670 band members, it has a greater number of students taking band as an elective than any other elective course.Quote:

That was back in 1988.::OldMan::
Tenor Sax, actually, and only for one year. The band director and I had it out and he ended up taking out on my younger brother 3 years later.Quote:

Ask the kid if he wants a new Kia or a new pair of Nike's. Try to show some testicular fortitude. :cat:
Why would you buy a kid a new anything as the first car??
Buy some cheap POS® and see if he can keep it alive and not rip the fenders off of it for a while then get him something nicer.
E34 525I 5-Speed
Even better, make it a Touring!
+1. Buy something new enough that it won't eat you up with repairs costs, but old and cheap enough that you won't care if/when he bangs it up.Quote:
