I got mine pre conception. my parents got it as a gift at my baby shower they immediatily transferred the name to me as a birth gift. now I am 3 and I am a child prodigy.

 

I'm 17 (18 in August), and if you don't believe any one under the age of 18 can afford this car you are mistaking. No offense or anything here, but I have had a steady job at a local car garage since age 14 with a big picture of a S2000 on my wall for 2 years, when the time came i bought my MY00 S2000 for $16,000, I had saved $6,000 by then and had put $5,000 down and taken out a four year loan from my bank. My payments are about $330/month, and I make roughly $1050/month during summer and $700/month during the school year. It's been almost 2 years and I still havn't missed a single payment. Although I am very fortunate, for my parents pay 50% of my insurance, my insurance rates are low due to my neighbor being my agent, and an impressive trans script with a 4.0 GPA, and a good disciplinary record. I still have no regrets and if I could still do it all over again I would. This is what I have wanted since I was 12. My S2000 IS titled under my name.

So to all of you hard working teenagers whom can pay for it yourself and follow your dreams, and to all of the others whom mom or dad bought it for you i would love to be in your shoes, for if your parents make a good living then go ahead, just be smart when it comes to driving, and when mom tells you to clean your room, just clean it.

 

Maybe so. But you still live at home where everything else is PAID FOR. Like Rent, food, utilities, cable, internet, and the list goes on and on.

 

I got mine at the age of 1 hour before they were even in production...I'm now 20...and the car is still like new.

ohh, and keep the cookie

 

And i am very fortunate for that. Supporting your family is part of life, and in some countries (like ours) it's standard. Buying your child a $16,000 used, let alone $32,000 new car isn't.

 

i was 17 when i got my 06.

i wash dishes full time to pay for it
