Everything I own I bought myself.

On a side note, I make a little more than that but... who cares??? We're all family and as long as you enjoy your car, who cares what age you are.

i ended up buying a g35 a year later using that as the downpayment, and it was making the payments that did alot to teach me financial responsibility.

No need to get upset, just communicate your POV civilly and most people will probably respect what you have to say. I know if I have the money in the future, I'd buy my future son/daughter a nice car, but I don't know if I'd buy him/her a high HP sports car... I guess b/c I'd be concerned about them. But that's just me

So the Insurance company is not stupid and know exactly what their doing for letting a 16y old driving a 287hp vehicle.
