Add to that the insurance costs, and it may just make sense to strangle him the next time he really pisses me off.

No way man, get him a BIG freaking land yacht. Those are the best cars for 16 yr olds. I had a 1978 Mercury Marquis 4 door brougham. OH MAN. IT WAS HUGE! You're guaranteed if they get into an accident they'll be alive since they weigh 3 tons, and they're durable enough to survive a lot of abuse (read curbs, off roading, etc).

Heheh

Plus they have a big backseat so he can learn other things. :P
