When I was 17. - 1984 Pontiac Fiero. (Lasted two weeks due to my lack of knowledge when buying)
18- 2000 Ford Focus
19- Enlisted into the army, purchased a 2009 nissan sentra for a credit builder. Paid it off
19/20 - Deployed, purchased/ traded in for my Z. Still have not drove it. This car better be worth the hype.

if you can pay for it, then you can buy it.
i remember back in high school a kid had one and daddy paid for his car.
after being outta high school for a while i own one and paid for it myself.
bragging rights!
plus I never needed daddy and mommy's money!

Well, unless you wanted a roof over your head, I presume.....

This argument keeps coming up and I feel like it's a cop out. 
You had a roof over your head from your mom and dad when you were 17 too. The guy you're referencing said he's been out of high school for a couple years so it's completely possible that he's not even living at home still, which doesn't really matter.
The point is that you appreciate what you have. I hate the 17 year old kid who had his mom/dad buy him a Z because he thought it would make him look cool riding into his high school parking lot every morning. I respect the 17-18 year old kid who's been working hard and saved up his money to buy a Z or any other car because they'll appreciate it.

I'm unable to recall exactly who said this here, but I completely agree with it. I have more respect for the kid who is driving a Civic, while living on his own and is setting a good financial foundation for their future so that someday they can can have the nice car without spending the majority of their income on it.

I have more respect for the one's that at least will admit that without the help of their parents providing a roof over their heads that would not have been able to have saved up enough on their own for the car. There are not many 17-18 years old kids that are fortunate enough to have already landed a job that will cover a sports car and their own place, along with the bills that come along with it.

Sorry but yes some of you would be correct I failed to mention that my parents did provide a roof over my head I'm very thankful for that. I am also thankful that I was able to land a stable great paying job during and out of highschool.
