I just hope that the evo doesn't put the kid in the hospital or worse. I have civics and accords and eclipses and all kinds of tuners trying to race me at every chance they get. Please don't be another statistic- drive safe!!

A lot of kids will try and do "dash board" in anything you give them so regardless in some cases, you'll be fighting a loosing battle. Neglecting a 17 year old an Evo won't necessarily save his life. My first car at 17 was a Mazda RX-7 and I can tell you this...My Evo may be a lot faster than my RX-7 was, but I could get screwed up a lot easier in the light RWD car.
I'm all for anyone with a license having an Evo or any car they want if they could afford having one. Who am I to judge...Everyone is accountable for their own actions and choose which paths they want to take. If they want to be careless, then usually they will suffer the consequences. You just ahve to do your parts as parents to instill the right principles in your child and the rest is up to them. Can't protect them forever

only with the kids that dont respect whats given to them please dont put words in others mouths. it also can come across as jealousy... and as grown *** people... its not cool to envy a 17 year old... with or without a rich family. and hey if you could afford to buy your child one wouldnt you? I'd love to be able to spoil my kids rotten as long as they can respect whats theirs. Your attitude is discouraging in that sense, however unfortunately there are lots of kids that WONT respect it so i see your side as well. just realize theres more than one kind of 17 year old.

^^ You have only had you license one year...I hope you dont have any accidents yet 
I really dont think a 17yr old should be able to own a car like that...its way too fast and I see threads every day "I wrecked my evo" and most are teenagers. Im sorry but most 17yr old are not mature enough to own a car with this much power. I could only imagine what I would do with an evo at 17...probably race the cops.
