He didn't ask about that. Your unsolicited financial advice implies that you think you know better how he should spend his money than he does, without knowing anything about his personal circumstances. You seem to be assuming that just because he's 18, he obviously can't afford two cars and is therefore being wasteful or irresponsible if he buys a second car. That's not really your call.

You're looking WAY too much into what I wrote. Move along...

Then why does his age matter? You brought it up. Explain what you meant.

If age doesn't matter then why did the OP feel compelled to say he was 18 in the first place?

I think the OP just wants us to know he is a young car guy? I bought my FRS brand new as a second car (other one was a 300zx but sold shortly after) when I was 19

If you are ever in Columbus, come on out to the Buckeye Miata Club autocross. Been a few years since I was involved, thinking of getting re started.

I was a young car guy with a 1970 Chevelle a long time ago, now I am an old car guy....

People gave me crap for buying an R53 Cooper S, it is now 13 years old and has been much more reliable than my Fathers 2003 Toyota Highlander, which he bought new.

Audi is a neat little ride, enjoy!

I doubt he mentioned it hoping someone would start lecturing him on how he should spend his money.

In the context of his post, I figured he mentioned it because he was hoping for some input from some more experienced car buyers on whether the particular deal he posted about was a good one. As in:

brock3798: "I'm a less experienced car buyer, and a lot of people here have more experience buying cars than I do. Is this $19K 2014 BRZ a good deal?"

Burrcold: "You're too young to have a second car. I couldn't afford two cars when I was 18. Since I'm jealous, for you to have a second car is obviously irresponsible."

But Burr didn't say that. His comment of why not trade was perfectly in line with the OP's request. Not even sure how you managed to get that out of the simple statement that was made.
