Starting at 16
1987 Honda Accord my parents paid for half of.
1997 Firebird I paid for, my dad co-signed on the loan, I paid for it
1989 Chev. Corvette, I paid for, cammed, all kinds of bolt ons
2003 Jeep Wrangler, I paid for, lifted 4" myself
2006 Nissan 350z, paying for it now
I'm 24 now. Most 16 year olds don't have the kind of income to buy something this expensive, much less pay the insurance and maintenance without help of parents. But then again that goes for alot of other cars that are alot nicer than the Z too. Its just a car, people act like its made of gold around here.

At 14 I started building my first car.
Sitting behind someone's house.
A Old
1981 Corvette, engine was blown and interior shot.
Full restoration of the car and inside and out. It took me 2 years with Dad.
When I turned 16 the car became way to expensive to drive with gas prices and insurance, since I was paying for it.
I sold it made a decent profit from 2300 to 9k
16.5-21
Bought a 1991 MR2 NA couldnt insure myself on a turbo
modded it
SC61 2.2L 300whp
auto-x
Tom's Aero Kit
TRD everything
1995 Caddy SLS - 17-19 got it for 2500
sold it for 5500 after replacing alt, fuel pump and pressure washed engine bay.
1989 Prelude beater - 20
Bought 2005 35th Anniv 350Z - 20
1986 Nissan 200sx - 21
Traded MR2 for 2002 Jeep Wrangler -21
Sold it for 12K after stripping the jeep's mods.
paid off Z.
