28...
My parents would have spent $30K on a vehicle for me when I was 16 if they had it... but it would have been for something big, safe and slow. At 17 I took all my savings from b-day's, xmass's, and news paper route (about $4000) and looked for a 1st car My dad and argured over what it would be... he wanted me to get a big safe 1979 Chevy Caprice or a 70s T-Bird (huge). I wanted a Mustang 5.0 LX or something like a Prelude... we ended up agreeing on a 86 Ford Ranger SuperCab, 5spd with the V6 (both of us were happy, started my love of Ford trucks). I remember him telling me how the truck had a lot of power and the potential to loose traction in the rain and I needed to be responsible... He told him the same thing when I got my L (my 5th Ford truck). I think there was way too much temptation to race and show off at that age. I lost two classmates in high school by showing off in high powerd cars (one 17 year old racing a Camaro into a house doing 70mph, broke his legs and killed his passenger, I'll never forget about that).
I will be the same way for my kids... start them off in something slow. My dad and I get along great now, he enjoys driving the L and he occasionally lets me drive his modded 400+hp 1998 C5.
Please use you heads out there.

Mine had a box of PAMPERS in it. The salesman said that the parents want those for the kids when they buy the truck for them because they figure the kids will p!ss on it like everything else.
I told them to get the Pampers, the Gerber air freshener, the BILLET pacifier shift **** and the plastic kiddie seat covers out of mine. I'm not a "kid" and not old enough yet for Depends. 49 - old enough to crap my pants if I want to because I have to clean it up.
