What kind of car are you looking for? Seems like a very VERY wide range if you don't narrow it down, and it looks like all you want is a car and not an SUV/Truck as far as narrowing it down goes...

AWD, 4 door, coupe, sporty, luxurious, RWD, FWD, new, used, 4 seater, 2 seater, 2+2, gas mileage, insurance, etc. What do you want, what do you need, and what have you liked so far?

If you don't need AWD, and don't care otherwise, I would get an '06 or '07 C6 Corvette... That's what I would've got when I ditched the Evo if it weren't for, you know, the whole snow thing.

a Daewoo. A 17 year old shouldn't own any of those cars that was posted by the OP. But of course, the OP is going to digress the notion and justify his reasoning on why he should be able to own and drive one of these vehicles.

A Delorean, that way you can go back in time and seduce your own mother. Be careful of the pedophile scientist though and the latently homosexual bully.

Yep. Save your parents cash and buy something sensible for gods sake.

Please tell me this isn't a first car or you might as well just go to the scrap yard get a sheets of metal and put it in your driveway b/c thats what one of those cars will end up as.

No thin skin kid. The experience on this forum is youngsters getting expensive performance cars and turning them into paper weights. No, this doesn't apply to everyone but statistics prove bad results will happen more times than not. We love and appreciate nice cars, performance, and the work it takes to be able to effectiviely drive one and keep the car and own body in one piece.

On another note, who cares what the public thinks. Be an individual and make your own decision. If you want experienced information on a specific car, then by all means, ask. If you want us to pick your car for you when we have no idea what your looking for specifically or no idea as to what your into then people are goin to have fun and throw comments and jokes at you.

Alright guys lol, regardless of who money it is, he asked a simple question. Im 18 and ive had three cars, lexus, ram 2500, now my 06 evo. Im very responsible, Not all teens are stupid with their cars. M1LKMAN.....if you want a nice car, girls love, guys love and you will enjoy, get a BMW. Luxury, decently quick, and who doesnt love one. The new Twinturbo 3 series is beautiful. Thats just my two cents, hope you find one you like.
