Yes, that is cool, but all of my friends are getting brand new cars Mercedes, BMW, and others from 20k to 70k. I thought you all could understand, but I guess it's a teenager auto-understand eachother kind of deal. And if you notice carefully you will find yourself to slur things together like "gotta," "gonna," and other words together.
Can you comprehend, understand, read, or even make out what I am saying?

No offense Tiger8119, but there's a big difference between saying 'gotta', 'gonna' and that mess of 'leet' phonetics you wrote. In a public forum, how a person writes gives other people the only visualization available as to what kind of person they are. Talk like white trash and people will treat you like white trash. Simple as that.

Personally, I think it's great that someone that young can have a car like the S, regardless of whether they paid for it or mom and dad paid for it. Shit, if my parents had offered to buy me something like this when I was 16, do you think I would have said "Well mom, you know. I really don't think driving that kind of car with only one year of driving experience is a good idea, but thanks anyway". Right. I bought a fully loaded 92 MR2 Turbo with my own money in my early 20's and put almost 10K down on it. Yeah, people assumed that I couldn't have possibly bought it, but I did.

Irregardless of your ability to spell... I would agree that it would be a bad idea for your parents to give you this car! The ever increasing number of people who have wrecked them speaks for itself. Just do a search for the words "wreck crash spin"...

And if they do.... and after you did(crash)... don't blame it on the car.

No, I would never blame it on the car. I remember when Whitelightning totaled his.

Hey guys, relax with the ebonics bashing. If you were raised in a low income environment, where everyone, your mother, your father, siblings and friends all talked the same way, you certainly would talk that way (otherwise you would get ur brains bashed in for talking like "Erkle"). What you guys are doing is equivalent to bashing someone with a southern accent or a "bostonian" accent. Just because he doesnt sound like you and uses dangling participles does not make him any less of a person or any less smart. Dont judge a book by its cover...and relax...when you were a teenager I am sure you guys used plenty of slang also...

Based on the fact that some teenagers actually own the S2000, here is a helpful hint if/when you need to SELL your S2000:

If you are over the age of say 25, then you need to ADVERTISE that. A prospective buyer will want to know if a teenager or an actual grown-up has driven the car. We all know teenegers in general, are rough on a car. This is a general statement that ANY insurance company will agree with, so teenagers, please DO NOT respond to me about your personal driving habits.

If you are a prospective BUYER then you may want to consider whether to buy an S2000 driven by a teenager. Don't be fooled by an older sibling or parent that may SHOW you the car instead of the actual teenag driver. Belive me, THEY don't WANT a prospective buyer knowing the car was driven by a teenager. Ask enough questions to drag the truth out of them. The first question would be: "Do you have any teenagers in the family?"

I wonder if we can have the Kelly Blue Book add another category for:
Teenage Driven (deduct $1500)
