Yeah im young, just turned 18, but i can tell you i worked and paid for every single penny of it, and still will be paying the payments! I can now see what you guys have been talking about! :w00t::w00t:

Oh and Im a senior now, can't wait to show this thing off haha,
anyways, first RWD and first sporty car.. any advice guys? Honestly rather not end up being one of those dumbasses with the wrecked cars..

Just take it easy and think before taking any turns.

Also.. Holly shit, people just can't fuck off with their civics, mercedes or any other cars haha they keep trying to race... i simply ignore their existence haha

asking any turns?

best advise i can give you is don't show off. showing off in high school only leads to trouble

Lol, taking...damn this iPad.

though nothing happened, but i now know what you guys meant with "idiots with their first rwd..ect", did a little tiny powerslide on a turn, and i understand now haha, thank god i i didnt go any faster, so already learned that today not happening again.

Also.. ignoring retards actually is the best kind of showing off you can do, so learned that as well!

I wish i had that when i was in highschool, tho I would feel my car would be in constant danger from jealous kids.

I am jealous as we speak.

enjoy it slick!

Leave. Your. Traction. Controls. ON! :thumbsup:

Cheers to your new beautiful car! :happy0180:

Don't mess about. Keep the nannies on. Go to AutoX and HPDEs and learn not only how to drive fast but also how to understand and feel your car.

The best upgrade is a Driver upgrade!


Oh, and when your friends are a-hootin' and a-hollering for you to do a burnout, don't.


Have fun! :thumbup:

If people egg you on to do anything - just be RESPONSIBLE and make up an excuse like, "i'm still breaking in the car."

haha other than that enjoy!! I know you'll have an ear to ear grin pulling up to school in the AM, or walkin into it after class.

Don't bring it to a high school. That's my advice. You're asking for trouble.

i Give it 2 weeks before you get comfortable and show off... wrecked

Yea I feel like high school students these days are brutal. I wouldn't bring it to school unless you want to risk vandalism. Damn I wish I had a job in high school that could pay for that :(

+1
DO NOT bring it to high school. To many jealous haters.

What do you do at 18 where you can purchase this car yourself? Cash in your savings bonds? Just wondering :) Looks good though!

Don't crash it. Nothing would make the haters happier than you crashing your brand new car.

Tint your windows and rebadge your car to a Maserati emblem or the one with the horse. The challenges will stop coming.

Hahaha already have the feeling
Its on!
Yeah I'm not listening to anyone anymore lol
Well i live in irvine, its on of the safest cities in US lol, cops everywhere, and theres some nice cars like bmw's..ect and they looked fine and plus i dont have any haters from my school.. ill just have to be friendly now haha
Can't wait for two weeks to come, so i can take a picture flipping you off in my none wrecked car.

haha im kidding
sells! i buy stuff and sell stuff haha

Some people are so rude just be safe and enjoy your car, take it easy that's all. We all seem to be older (I assume) with more experience from cars we driven. I use to drive a RWD vehicle at 17 - let's just say bald tires and rainy days were not my favorite. I was still new to the clutch and it was just a learning experience...had a few scary moments but nothing too crazy since I knew to be careful. Years later I just laugh at those "good old days." So now we pass our experiences to those next in line :) Just watching out~

enjoy the car, but be safe! Take it easy in the rain/wet. Assuming you got the Michelins, these wheels can be unpredictable when wet.

TRUTH!

Wow Congrats!! Pays off after such a hard work..

Take it easy and drive safe. Get to understand how it different it is from the other cars.

I have been driving the secure FWD for most of my driving life that is like 6 years so driving a manual 86/FRS demo car, I got for five days, for after such a long time did get me to do some silly RWD newbie mistakes during the first couple of hours driving.

Man that's a sexy argento beside your car :)

I bet he crashes it in less then 2 years. Probably his first car.

Wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off.

First, what is that hat you're wearing? Do you wear it often?

Second, find an empty lot somewhere and practice the limits of the car so you know what it feels like to have the rear of the car kick out.

I felt uncomfortable taking my Lexus to my high school, and it was a "rich school".
I saw people hitting other cars with their doors and even their bumpers occasionally, then I parked it at the local university once and the side mirror and the side doors were completely bashed in when I got back (no note). I do not recommend taking a nice car to school, from personal experience. I have a Tahoe now and just a few weeks ago I was backed into in a parking lot, and I have many many door dings. I may just have bad luck, but I am just saying.

Yeah, had been waiting for it so long, kinda let my self go and i had to wear a hat & actually not at all. Maybe once here and now, not into the snapback bullshit at all. Haha i wish i could do that, too sketchy where i live!

Actually, been parking with some "enthusiasts" i guess u can say haha, we park next to each other, so idiots wont. Some nice cars, bmw, lexus, 350z.. ect we good!

I bet your IQ level is less of that number which you have written. Also your grammar is shit:clap:
Does it say first car? ;)

Take it to a HPDE event and learn the handling characteristics. Leave the hooning on the track. Most of all, Don't let your ego get the best of you trying to impress someone who really doesn't matter.

Congrats on your purchase.

First of all congtrats on the car, enjoy it in good health. I'm sure you have the maturity and common sense to stay out of trouble.

Reminds me a bit of myself when I was your age. I had a paper route when I was 12 years old . Kept at it until I was 16. Saved all my money from that. Probably had $2500 after four years. Now this was back in 1967 through 1970. Money was worth much more then.

In 1972 I bought a new 1972 Opel Manta 1900...$1,700.00! Also had a bike then and traded up to a new Yamaha R5C 350...$500.00 and my old bike in trade. Man I was on top of the world then. Graduated from HS and went to a vocational school. First job was as a motorcycle tech at the Yamaha dealer that I hung out at.

Long story short, I ended up moving shortly after that job with my folks and got a new job at a small manufacturing plant. Now many years later I own that company with my wife who I met there.

Be careful and make good choices along the road of life!

I worked in highschool. My parents made me put half in the bank for college and I blew the other half trying to impress girls.

Congrats, I sure wish I had this car back in high school. Well any car would've been good lol
That white does look nice, that was my first choice. But I got asphalt, my 2nd choice, cause it was the only 6 speed manual that was available

Oh yeah, don't let peer pressure get to you. Many kids will want you to do stupid crap in this car.

Agreed

OR

Get the DR4000 dashcam thingy that runs when the car is off so if anyone does mess with it or bump it you have proof and can deal with that appropriately (as in w/ insurance, legal etc... not with bustin' heads).

Lol, I would rather not have to injure the car just to bust someone.

Even with a dashcam... if someone bumped into his car (the rear side) and since the camera is facing front, there's always a chance people could get away from these things unfortunately.

Park it SUPER far away, or leave it at home and drive it to anywhere BUT school.

Enjoy the car. The high school I went to had much nicer cars than the FR-S/BRZ, and Irvine is a somewhat nice neighborhood. You should be fine there.

congrats on your first car! How are you gonna afford the payments though if you're still in HS???
I'm kinda glad I didn't get a car like this when I was younger. I drove like a dumbass then, scraped and dented my mazda 3 several times. Your whole mentality changes when you pay for your car by yourself and every cent comes out of your pocket.
