I was 17 when I got a 1962 white with red interior 327 cu. in. 340 HP 4 on the floor. The car listed for $4749. I paid for it myself. But gas was 18 cents a gallon too... 
..those were the days!!

I turned 18 a couple weeks ago and if I find a decent job I'd really like to get one. I know some 18-20 year olds with cobras, etc and of course my fox body with a stripped interior and obnoxious exhaust is getting old pretty quickly

At age 6, 1959, when I sat in my first Corvette in the dealers showroom. I new I would buy one then. I purchased my only one in '02 for my 50th birthday present.

1999 Frc at 22 bought and paid for all on my own. No co signer. Under my own insurance policy. It was the greatest day of my life as far as car buying was concerned and a huge step towards being indpendent and an adult. Got 1 ticket first week I owned it. Who could resist the new power? Illegal lane change though not even speeding. Got a speech about how I shouldnt drive my fathers car without turning on my blinkers to change lanes because I could wreck it. He became highly jealous and upset when I told him it was mine. Had it for a year. No accidents. No more tickets. Sold it to buy a house now I own a 1999 Trans am that is mint.

I just got my first vette (Z06). I am 27. I have plenty of "experience" driving like an *** and wrecking cars in my early twenties 
so the vette should be safe.
I definitely would not recommend getting a car worth more than $15k to ANYONE under 20. No offence, kids, but there are some lessons you have to learn the hard way, and it can get expensive.
