I'm 18.

1. How do you think you can control a 450 hp car when you currently can't control a 100 hp car that is stick? I read that you will learn how... but I'm thinking more of driving expierience than skills.

2. Jealousy will make that car a wall of graffiti in less than a week. I live in Southern California, not in LA, but one of the top 5 cities of it's size in saftey (I'm not going to tell everyone where I live). When I was in High School, a group of kids threw tater-tots covered in mustard at this girls 2004 Mustang GT (stock) while I was parked in the parking lot just because they thought she was a spoiled brat (they had never met her).

My point is not everyone appriciates nice cars like you, I, and everyone else at this board. I have a 1997 Toyota Camry that I keep in better-than-brand-new-condition. I'm terrified about going to college because I have such a nice-condition car and I'll have to park it in the street in a college town. And I've got a 1997 Camry. My brother in law had his car keyed -- from headlight to tail light -- one time in this town. For no reason... someone was walking on the sidewalk drunk. My sister had her doorhandle break off. Some drunk guy in her group of friends wandered outside their party and wanted to get something he left in her locked car, and, because he was drunk, didn't have the whole "the car is locked" thing down.

The only way I would ever buy such a nice car at such a young age would be to store it, as it would be a collectors car in 20 years or so.

I guess all I am saying is that I would hate to see another car go to the gallows due to stupid teenagers that don't appriciate other people's property.
