Your Dad truly doesn't care about you if he's getting you a Viper at 18. You'll have 3 beers, catch a slight buzz and want show the car off to your friend. At 120 mph, you'll catch a bump in the road and a tree will split your car in half - worst case, you kill someone else, best case, you die. All your friends will be real sad for a while but eventually get over it. Unfortunately, your parents never will. Dude I've seen it happen with a kid driving a 150 hp Corsica, nevermind a supercar.

Don't be stupid - be a man and tell your father 'thanks, but no thanks, maybe down the road'. He should respect you even more for that, and appreciate that your just that much ahead of the curve of all the other punks who would pop a boner and take the car.

Patience is difficult to exercise, but do it and you won't regret it.
