Too young by far. Had I got this car at 16 it'd be totalled,me possibly dead,and others at risk on the road. I thought I could drive then.If only I knew. Listen to us when we tell you that the insurance will be far more than other cars.FAR MORE. I was looking into getting a vette before the evo and guess what? Insurance was cheaper for the corvette. I was 22 years old. I cant imagine 16.Even on mommy and daddys policy youre gonna pay more than the car payment itself.

It really depends on the person though... I bought my evo brand new when I was 18 and was not making much money at all... maybe 1200 after taxes but I lived at home and didn't spend money on anything else really and here I am 2 years later with the same car and I don't regret it one bit... And no tickets thank you very much well thank your passport that is haha... 16 is very hard though because most likely you don't have a full time job but it is possible if you want it bad enough... Check insurance first... I almost had to take my car back to the dealership when I saw insurance rates on like 500+ a month then got lucky and went through military insurance company(USAA) and got it for 220 a month

sorry to burst your bubble but you will not make $20 an hour just with that cert.
a+ is like the minnium for call center type work which is more like $7 an hour.

What ever you get, one thing i learned its better to buy it stock. That way you dont have to worry about fixing other peoples mistakes, i.e. bad wiring jobs, crappy motor rebuilds, etc. And youll get more enjoyment out of it when you start putting power makers on.
