lol there is another 17 year old that got his evo as a first car here. good stuff! where are u and if u ever get to the bay area tell me. Driving a stick evo is also my first stick shift experience and i think i know what u are talking about cause i feel the rattle too
Dont knock the kid because his dad bought him an evo. I have worked hard for everything I have. However, if I had a 17 year old son, and could afford to buy him an evo, I would. If he deserved it, why not?? I would just make sure I had something bigger and badder. Nothing like a father/son team tearing up the streets. Not only that, imagine how easily your son could get some leg!

personally i bought the whole car myself and i have never had the pleasure of having a adult buy me a car. and yes i did bust my young *** to get the down payment and as soon as school ends i will be still busting it to pay for the monthly. although i am driving my sister's auto for weekday driving lol. as a young driver i must also defend others like me. life isnt fair if his parents can buy him a nice car let it be. i wish i was in that family lol jk

Yeah, I was serious. I get tired of people bashing teenagers with nice cars. As annoyed as I get when some 18 year old pulls up next to me in his new Boxter S (happened yesterday), I really can't complain because I still have it better than 99% of the rest of the world. I know - it sounds preachy. But go to a 3rd world nation and you'll never ***** again. Hell, my job takes me to some of the nastiest, poorest towns in the south you can imagine and I realize I have nothing to complain about. My dog lives better than most people.
Anyways, that's WAAAAAY off subject. But YES, I agree a 17 year old probably cannot handle an EVO properly. And it is a huge responsibility to have that much hp at your disposal. When I have kids, their first cars will be a used civic, corolla, etc. just so when they do wreck it, no big loss.

BTW, you have a great dad. I wish my dad gave me a $30k car when I was 17, instead of giving me a payment booklet.

2 years of driving experience is not that great. And the EVO being your first "manual" car, what state you live at again so i can stay clear?

No disrespect to you in any way but what ever happened to kids earning their own way. I am 30 and I bust my *** to pay for my car but I also come away with a sense of pride and accomplishment for all that hard work.
On a side note congrats on the car.

I had a friend in high school whose Daddy bought him fast cars. He'd wreck one and Daddy would by him a faster one...wreck another...Daddy gives him a faster one. Wrecked the third one...Daddy bought him a casket!
Two years in an Altima hardly qualifies as driving experience unless it was all on a road racing track.
If you're 17 and have not grown up racing carts and autos on road courses...you can't drive yet!
Any one can press the skinny pedal and get to 140, that is not driving!
Get Daddy to pay for some driving schools before it's too late. If you start learning now you might be a good driver... someday.

oh man! 17! and wow, 2 whole years of driving! 
I'm only 18, but i've been racing carts since i was laround 12, and even before that my dad tought me how to drive when i was like 5, i'd sit on his lap. more over, my first stick car that i really learned on for the past 3 years (yes yes, i know, i've driven illegally in that car for a year) was an 86' BMW 325. I also know that that car is a really nice car to learn stick on compared to others, but learning to drive stick on an evo?? Hell, the first real performance car that i got was an eclipse...used, with 78,000 miles on it! And then not being able to figure out what gear your shifting into, and THEN calling your self a master after like a day...
and whats this about living in iran? SOMEHOW i bet that you weren't poor while living there, because now you live here and you dad throws 30,000+ into "your" evo.

If my dad bought me a car as nice as the EVO when I was 17, I would have been extremely happy. But, that's didn't happen. 
I've been working starting with a couple of paper routes at the age of 12 and haven't stop working still at age 37. I worked in junior high throughout high school and college. Yes, you do appreciate things you buy as you understand the value of your efforts to the things you buy. You can't understand this unless you've done it. I don't want to make that sound mean or condescending but it comes with life experience really. At 18 I thought I had it figured out at 37 I now how much of an idiot I was back then and how arrogant I was for it.
I have no problem that a father or mother would buy their child a nice car at the age of 17. If they can afford to give their child nice things, then they worked for that, it's their choice. However, I hope the kid understands what they have and the sacrifice some parents make for them. Also, understand that the EVO is NOT a good choice for a young driver. It is an extreme machine that requires respect and control, two things that you have not fully learned and understand at 17/18. Yes, you may think you do, but you really don't, at least not fully.
Just be careful and respect not just your parents and their generosity, but also the capabilities of this awesome automobile. It's obvious that you have some money if you or your parents can afford this vehicle at your young age.
So, it would be to your benefit to take some of that money and get some further driver training, perhaps a track day with an instructor who will help you respect and understand the automobile that you have.
The first EVO I saw on the road was a yellow one. I saw it driving by on the other side of the highway, looked beautiful. I went to the Mits dealer the next day for some info on work for my Eclipse. I'm very interested in the EVO myself and spoke with the sales guy. BTW, why are they so arrogant when they talk about the EVO? Anyway, I asked what they have in stock and learned that the yellow EVO I saw was bought by a local doctor who purchased the car for his son, all of 18 yrs. How cool is that?
I wish I were his 18 yr. old son. Hopefully his kid will respect what that car can do.
Don't be hate'n.
