That's way to nice of a car for a 16 year old! Trust me I know.. I grew up in Westlake Village and everybody I knew got sick cars like that for their 16th birthday from their parents, I had to buy my first car off my parents which was a 1991 Eclipse Turbo.. Trust me when I say this, he will respect the car more if he get something a little bit more appropriate given his age. He'll probably be pissed at first like I was, but later he'll look back and have mad respect!
I see those same kids now and they are such friggin idiots because their parents spoiled the crap out of them.. They have no value in anything.. Its bugs the crap out of me being around them, their parents still pay for their rides.. What is the kid gonna want after driving a 5 series around, a friggin S series?
Don't get me wrong, get him something cool but smart at the same time.. Get him a older G35 or something, something that has some low miles but he can have fun with ..
I am 27 now and I have always respected my cars and my things a crude load more because of the way my parents handled my first car.. My Dad could have afforded to buy me literally anything back then, and I got the 6 year old Eclipse with 75,000 miles on it for $350 a month , and it was green...lol
Now I have an 09 FX35, an 06 G35 coupe, and an 04 Z06 corvette.. I rock the FX for some luxury, the coupe because I love her, and the Z06 for drifting.. It's the best of all worlds!
On another note Kudo's to you Pop's for being cool enough to be on a forum like this!
