Are you sure those are Rota grids and not Rota Torques ?

Most states in the US you can get a "learner's permit" at 15, which requires a licensed driver in the car with you.

In 11 states, you can be as young as 14.

i turned 17 this year old and this is my daily car.
No one else drives my car. muahaha!

Yeah, Travis had just turned 15 and got his learner's permit. I think he has actually put more miles on the FR-S than I have... with me in the co-pilot seat, of course.

*Puts on salty old-timer's hat*

Some privileged ass kids here man... when I was 17 I worked my ass off at some dumb restaurant to be able to afford the $1000 rustbucket FC3S down the street from my church. It was white so I could pretend I was Ryosuke from Initial D, ha.

But then again, I remember some kids in high school having nice cars. One kid had a Supra, and another had a Mazdaspeed Protege. among a few others.

Enjoy the car guys. I didn't have the means to drive a brand new car as a teen, so I'm jelly!

Well, Travis is a great kid who works hard. He earns the right to drive by working for me with yardwork, washing cars, etc. These high school kids that are getting 86s better be earning them with straight As!

priceless. Hahah most of my friends were surprised because I went from a 2001 Galant to an FR-S

If only the BRZ was released when I was still in high school! Prom night may not have been as fun with the cramped backseat, however...

Damn 16 with an FRS. only in Cali I guess. kids would be lucky to get a full MetroCard around here so they can take their asses to the train.

I thought this was interesting, until I saw you were from Cali. Youngest that has driven my car is my friend and he was 20. No one else will touch it but me. (21)

Yea, I have one of those hats to, but like you say hope they enjoy them.

First 3 cars I owned literally cost less than a lot of athletic shoes these days. First one was $300. Next two were both under $500. I had 4 cars between ages 16 and 19. I sold every one of them for the same or more than what I paid for them.

$300 cars teach you a lot about life and build character!

I think it's crazy that parents buy their kids cars. I bought my own first car (1984 Z28) for $600. That car was a POS, so I appreciate the brand new FR-S that I have now.

Based upon economic standards, we bought our kid a new car.
Our good friends bought their son a new car "Ferrari 458 Italia" and a new airplane "Cirrus SR22" for his 16th birthday. He is quite a good young pilot.

^ I'm just saying... I realize you have the funds to do this for your kids and that's great. I don't know your children, and I don't know the other guys in here that are 15/16/17, but around here, the kids with parents that just hand them things because they can afford to do so tend to think that it works like that with everyone and everything.... I hope that's not the case with your children though, and the others in here.
