17yrs old 2004: 1974 Porsche 911 (bought from my grandfather for 6 grand)
(subsequently spent 5 grand in a year trying to keep it running)
(miss the car but i dont miss the problems)
18yrs old 2005: 1996 Honda Accord EX (bought from my mom)
19yrs old 2005: 2006 350z (bought this one brand new in october of 05)
(loved it ever since)

So there you have my list of cars i have owned, and i do mean cars that i have owned (I bought all three of my cars in cash from saving up and working full time since I was 16) the only way to get a car in my opinion even when you are young is to buy it and maintain it yourself.... an easy way of doing that if you're low on funds is to cut a deal with you parents or family and buy it from them or have them help get a loan in your name....

I couldnt stand seeing what some kids at my high school got from mommy and daddy (my girlfriend in high school had 4 different cars in high school, all brand new and all as a result of her totaling the one before that, that shti drove me crazy)

At 16... 93 Ford Thunderbird (aka Thunderchicken)
At 17... 97 Mazda 626
At 18... 04 Ford Ranger
At 20... 03 Nissan 350Z

The Thunderchicken was a "gift" from my rents so I could get to and from my job.
BTW, the Air Force doesn't pay too damn bad if you ask me.
