I bought my 16 year old an S2000
I am a parent and I bought my high school child an S2000, Evo, STI, etc.
That's who I am looking for in this thread. There are so many of those high school kids on here saying their parents (or themselves) bought the S2000 (or other similar sport car). Well I would like to hear from one of those parents. What made you think that your kid can handle a car like that like a mature, responsible person?
Well there HAS to be some of you out there. Don't be shy. I wanna hear your thought process. I am not trying to put you down, but only trying to figure out the rationilization. Are you simply filthy rich and want your kids to represent you? Did you have a hot car when you were young and want to pass it on? Cmon let's here what you have to say.
Speak up!

My parents bought me a Porsche 944 back when I was 16 (About 15 years ago). I loved that car. It made a huge impact on my young life. I only wrecked it one year after I got it 
.
My Dad bought it for me because I have always loved exotic cars (to a 16 year old a Porsche is pretty exotic). He wanted me to go to a private high school and I resisted because of how snobby that school was, so the car was bought to make me happy.

Raj, I know you're a good guy who really isn't a snob, but this sentence is just too funny (refering to getting a Porsche to make you happy, but not being a snob).
