Bought my son's car today. Pick it tonight. But he's 15 so he can't drive it for 6 months. So guess who's going to drive for the summer!
Hello everyone.........

 

Welcome to the site but I'm sure most members would agree that a 15 in this car isn't exactly recommended...

 

welcome to the Z community.

 

Yeah...my son's getting an '88 Honda CRX

 

no teenager let alone 15-16 year old should be allowed to drive a 300+ bhp car. Kids a this age think they're indestructible. Considering it only takes a moderate foot on the gas to get up to 100 mph, it's not a good combo with a novice driver. Slap on the fact that its rear wheel .... I think i'll stop ... there's no point. If you wanted to get him a fairly expensive nice first car why not a volvo or some other sedan ... atleast then everyone around him would be a lot safer.

 

15 year old + 300hp + a roadster= not good

 

atleast put a loud-a$$ siren on his car so we know when he's aproaching, and have time to get the he!! out of the way.

 

He'll be 16 in 6 months, then he gets his permit and can't drive alone until he's 17 in NJ. He will be driving with me or his mother for a year.
I know my kid. If I thought he was not going to be resonsible, I wouldn't have bought it! I've been through this before with an older son who I bought a Mustang GT. Not every kid wants to race, but ust wants the muscle.

 

oh yea...even though i'm 20 yrs old...i agree to that. i wanted a Z, but i just afraid i'd probably go insane with it. so i rather just take it slow.

 

I thought I was responsible... my parents did, too, and we got a great deal on a used RX-7.

About a month after I started driving solo, I discovered (accidentally) drifting and kept it up for a few years. My parents only wondered why I went through tires so fast...

10 years later, I'm just now starting to appreciate VDC

Congratulations to you, I hope you and your son have a blast in the car!

 

Your son should be fine, I work for a dealership and was driving Vette's, 911's, Boxster's etc at 16-17. As long as you stay within your limits and respect the machine you'll be fine.

 

Kid I know owns an STi at 17.

Yea, he rolled it.....going through an intersection.

 

 

Congrats, post some pics when you get a chance.

 

Here ya go!
