There was a guy that had a stealth R/T, then his parents bought him an EVO... however at least they also sent him to skip barber twice... (must be nice eh?)
I've spun twice, and it cost less than Skip Barber!

If I were 16, I'd be touting the safety that AWD provides. Definitely a much better idea than a Z28... You're just asking to die there, if not by a violent collision, then by starvation as you sell everything you have just to keep up with insurance payments for a loose RWD vehicle in the hands of a male 16-year-old driver.

In high school, a guy I knew was gonna get a Mustang Cobra bought and paid for by his parents. They changed their mind when they saw that insurance would cost $8000/6 months.
