You cannot learn maturity or read about it on a car forum, you can only get it from experience. Know matter how mature you think you are at 17, you'll look back in the future and go "God damn was I an idiot back them".

Not to sound like an ***, but look at the way he talks, he does not come across as the most mature person in the world. Also, this is an internet forum, do you expect people to assume he is like 99% of the teenagers out there, or that he somehow represents the miracle 1%? Basic statistics and probability should give the answer.

Well that and the fact that you have admitted you have had 3 accidents and are only 17... (17, right?)
If I was a betting man, Id bet that one Evo IX SE purchased from South Holland Mitsu will have an incredibly short life. Its on you to prove us wrong I guess, if you actually get this car... Post up pics upon purchase. Good luck.

Absolutely i was qouted like $500/month originally
They wouldnt let me drive the MR's no matter where i went until i signed paper work informing them i were to buy it (credit approval ect.) They did on the other hand let me drive a couple GSR's from 2 different places I went to. I also was planning on buying it (not just out for a test drive) Thats why i go to the nissan dealers ACTING like ill trade my evo in on a 350Z or subi dealer looking at STI's... Not to beat on them, but to see what the hype is about.. havent found it yet

haha wow, what's going on with this thread? as for evoixmr8916, you crashed a prius...then i hope you'll be more carefull with the evo since its a way-way faster car. in reality, members of this forum can't make decisions for you, so you don't really have to listen to whatever we say. it's your money or your parents money, your life, your responsibility and it's going to be your car. just remember maybe next time you crash, maybe it wont be that minor. and you might severely damage the car or worst, take someone's life. just think about the consequences before you start driving aggressively in an evo or any car. =/ and good luck. hmmphh this thread is weird. (and yes im 17yrs old also w/ an evo. whateverss)
