What does this actually mean, have you passed high school? Up here, you have to have a high school diploma to move on, well, at least to actually do a full course load at a university or college.

then the equation should be + the inverse of (x)... the less friends he has, the more he'll want to show off... and an Evo doesn't get many girls, S2ks and other roadsters do that

It's fairly new, It's the same law here though im pretty sure. But there is a program that u setup with a college, which is called Dual-Enrollment. You are enrolled to both schools at once. You take an entry exam, and a placement exam, then you are limited by your scores to what classes you can take.

Ah k, so basically your taking some college courses so when you get there you have a leg up? Sounds like some of the courses they offer in high school here.

Not really, the classes I take are with actual College Students.
I am in college classes like if I were in college, but if lets say you only get a 85 or 90 percent on your placement, you can only take certain and simple subjects, but if you ace it you would be able to get right into whatever field you wanted, weather it was Biology, Computer science, chemistry, etc etc
I mean it all varys with what the school lets you do, and the more of a non ordinary or simple thing your trying to get into the more other classes you have to take. Like for Comp science they would enforce you to take math and english, probably normal science aswell.

I remember working in a Chevy dealer part time while I was in grad school. Once in a while you'd see some kids come in with their parents to buy a Camaro or even a Vette. It was hysterical. The sales guys would treat them with such respect in the showroom, then they'd come in the back and laugh their asses off.and say things like " did you see this dork?". It was pretty funny at times. As much as I liked cars in my teens, even then I knew that a kid driving a car like an EVO is not only dangerous, but people would be laughing at me since there is no way I could afford it without mommy and daddy.

Well yes maybe older people will make fun, but we all know the little rich boys who roll down to the beach in thier parents badass cars get more *** then any decent car payed by a hard working kid.

like 90 percent of the 16-25 yearold girls are gold diggers up the butt, they dont give a **** how small your winky is or how ugly your face is, as long as you got something that THEY can show off, they dont give a **** about you.

What is wrong with parens buying a car for their son or daughter? I think a lot of you are jealous.

Quick and painless death isn't so bad though... I would worry more about more long term damage, stuff like paralysis or becoming comatose.

People get mad at whatever they didnt have, or whatever they can't. If mommy bought anyone in here an Evo, even if your 30. You would take it because u want it and u wouldnt care how you got it.

I only think that the EVO would be a bad 1st car if he is immature. If he is going to get in it and drive like an ***, its definitely not good or, if he doesnt know how to drive stick well (which he shouldnt since hes beginner).

My first was a 1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD, bone stock. I had it until I was about 20. I think that was a really good car to start. A 15.0 car is quick for first car. I learned it step by step. By the time it was a low 12-second car I REALLY knew how to drive it.

Now my EVO is a little slow compared to my Talon but not for long!

Thing thats are great about the EVO as a first car is it's superior braking and handling which can SAVE someone from messing up.
