No, it's a Rover with a stop sign badge on it.

You could have bought him an ITR, and spent the change on making it smoke his mates WRX

An ITR is still 14-15,000 for a late 2000's one, and a civic type R is even more for LESS car

Errrr....what?

I'm not even a parent and I find that statement appalling.. I really do hope you're making a typo or grammatical error or something? Or am I missing some sarcasm through the internetz?

Personally I'm of the opinion that if you earn something, you have greater respect for it as it has value to you. Not to say that everyone is like that, but I often see teenagers with cars given to them (whether it is by parents, or easy loan sharks), and they have very little respect for the vehicle.

My first car was a EE90, and while I didn't pay for the entirety of it, I did have to contribute a significant amount (to me at the time :lol:

)

Sorry I meant that I didnt consider buying him a 5 star safety car as iresponsible. It was actually 2 statements sorry
I feel bad as you all think the car is rubbish and he would be embarrassed to drive it.

I wouldn't have been embarassed to ride in it as a teenager.. beats riding in crappy / smelly / dirty cars that almost everyone else has!
