its not my first car though

Here's the problem, the evo is substantially faster than most cars on the road and because of how it is made, it allows an individual to drive in a fashion that is well beyond their abilities before it gives up. This means when it does go, it's big. As a clear example, there was a recent thread where an individual damaged their car because they went way too fast into a corner (he said 80 mph). His defense, he's done it before. This is why I strongly think it is better to start with a lower power, lower limit car where you can understand your capabilities and learn how to simply drive before you start to learn how to drive fast. You wouldn't start teaching a kid math by throwing calculus at them just as you shouldn't teach someone how to drive properly by throwing a car like an evo or an STI at them. It is just poor parenting IMO.
As for the rest, first, cut it with the attitude, if you have a problem with this board you are welcome to go elsewhere (as I'm sure I told you before). Second, no one on earth deserves a car. A car is not a right, it is a privilege. Third, you are welcome to find the statistics and even argue with the statistics but considering the stats are older than you and collected by people probably smarter than you, I doubt you'll win.

i dont know what you are trying to win but i am just here to argue with you NOW, since you started an argument with me. damn, its like you cant stay still or something. you are what should be called immaturity.

so ok you win and this is over. you are officially retarded for winning this argument.

I'm not trying to win anything, this is how people discuss things on here (ie. without name calling, each side saying what they want, etc). In this case I was responding to the quoted text and another post of yours in order to better explain what I meant when I said no one deserves a car.
If you don't want to see people disagree with you, stop looking at this thread, it's that simple. I'm not freaking out or ripping my head off, I'm just providing some points. I don't think it's stated anywhere that a moderator can't have an opinion.

To me, the evo is just another car. I could drive my wife's s80 twin turbo or my civic just as retarded as I could in the evo. It's not as great as everyone makes it to be. If a 16-18 year old were to get a ferrari or lambo for a first car, then he really might act a fool. But the evo is just another car that I would trade in for the next best thing.

I would agree that no one deserves a car. A car is more appreciated and better taken care of when the person driving it has to pay the payment, insurance, maintenance, etc. If my parents were going to purchase my first car for me, I wouldn't turn that opportunity down though.
