I know the stupid stuff I did when I was that age with a 100hp car and don't want to share the road with new drivers in cars with power they probably don't respect. I know there are exceptions for every rule, but for the most part you can't argue that 17 year old guys aren't somewhat irresponsible and inexperienced behind the wheel.
^^ DING DING. My thoughts exactly. I did some pretty dumb (fun) stuff in a 1986 Plymouth Voyager with wood panels, a 370Z would have killed me.

1) Nissan 370z a lot
2) FRS ( probably no one know at the moment ) a lot
3) IS250 ? a lot

There ya go.

Auto Ins

Anyone know some international insurance information sites? http://drivingtest.com has general information, but was looking for some more information sites.

From experience, (I am not an insurance agent and never played on on TV or stayed in an Holiday Inn Express but I have 3 sons that were 4 years apart getting their license and hitting my insurance) it will be about double the parents rate, if the parents have a good driving record and the kid is driving a "safe" car. Also, assuming the <25 year old has an "assigned car" it will only make the parents go up by about 10% on their vehicles. If the youth does not have an "assigned car" his rate will apply to all cars.

For example, my wife drives a 2005 Mustang, my 19 year old drives a 2002 Honda Accord. Both have no dings on their records. His insurance is almost exactly double hers.

After my oldest son got his license, I did out of curiousity see what the price would be to assign him the (then new) 2005 Mustang Convertible. It was about 4 times the cost of having my wife listed as primary driver.

So in summary, as someone above said "A LOT".
