plus i think kids have a much greater understanding and appreciation for a car if they buy it....this way the ramificaitons of an accident making them double broke are on there mind when they punch it against some punk integra.......he def needs to buy his own car tho if he wants to mod something to race around......

save your money, keep saving it till your out of college and own a nice batchelor pad, that's what attracts the women, trust me. most college cuties aren't impressed by imports, and if they are.....then....well, so be it.
if you just want speed and attention then buy a sportscar since it'll save you money in the long run and you'll still have the warranty just don't drive it like a bonehead 
stuff you should think about is cutting some fat off the car. makes you accelerate faster and corner quicker. and is generally cheap
just a few tidbits you can either listen to or not, you're choice since it's your money not mine.

You're 17, trust me. Do Show and Shine mods to your car. You'll be at school. You won't really need any power. Then save up for the Evo IX that's comin' out.
