16 with an expensive twin seems a bit silly unless yall don't have money problems...I don't even want to know what the insurance costs, probably easily as much as a car payment. My first DD from 16 to 19 was a '92 240SX which we picked up for a few thousand and my kid's mom crashed it one day. Even if you've been driving, you're only 16 you don't have many miles on your experience odo so get something you'll be cool with parting away after a few years.. I plan on eventually giving my now 11 year old boy my twin but only after he's had a beater like a civic or corolla for a few years. My concerns with a twin for a very young driver would be the temptation to hoon without any regards for oher people, kids are too tunnel visioned and rarely notice everyone they are impacting, and the attention other drivers will give you for driving a sports car. People think I'm trying to race them all the time so imagine a young driver getting that attention on the road and potentially doing something silly. (go to YouTube and see all the fails with red light races)
At the end of the day, your dad is gonna be the one with the biggest undetstanding of what type of personality, driver, & human you are.. so perhaps he might see you as being incredibly responsible at 16. But even so, paying 22 K for a twin for a 16 year old seems quite steep, there are much cheaper twins and alternatives out there.
