Obviously, there will always be kids who have these cars bought for them and end up wrapping them around trees, but I believe that if you respect the vehicle and take things slowly at first, disaster can be averted. I'm in the process right now of saving money toward the car and I think that buying the car with my own cash (not my parents') will make my respect for the car that much greater. I turn 18 in a few days, and I have had my heart set on the Evo for a few years now. Yes, the car is a beast, the tires are expensive, the insurance must be crazy, but it's my dream of dreams to have one to call my own, and I'm making that dream come true by my own means.
true my 95 mustang gt was my first car i have had it since right before i turned 17, i had a lot of respect for the power, it was a fast car especially for a first car, and the evo is even faster, that being said if u are driving with ur friends it is hard not to act stupid and drive faster than normal, at that age poor judgement gets the better of you most of the time. me and my friends think back and we go i cant believe we didnt die sometimes. that being said i am the only one of my friends who didnt total his car, and i by far had the fastest one. but then again i was just lucky cuz i came close a few times. either way just respect the car. and you should be fine. although hell if im going to buy my kid a fast car if i ever have a kid. he can drive mine once in a while though

Yea, i totally know what you guys are talking about. I was lucky enough that my parents bought me my first car, but in the end, (bout 3 months later after my 16th birthday) i "disrespected" the car. So now, helping out my parents with my replacement car, i have learned a great deal when it comes to respecting what you have, and working for what you want. And now, all i want is the Evolution VIII MR.

Yeppers! Graduated college, got a great paying job and bought the Evo. Since then, mods are VERY addicting so there's never a dull moment owning this car. Keep on it and you'll own one some day...or be really really nice to your parents and have them buy you one (didn't work with me, but good luck!).
