I don't think the maturity level of the 16 year old or the horsepower. I think the g35 is just an all around nice car for a 16 year old to have. And to the 17 year old kid with the g37, you have the first signature I have ever seen where it breaks down the price of your car haha. Thanks for letting all of us know how rich your parents are

Yea 19 and have an 03. My advice is get the G and go buy a less expensive car to just drive around to school and other stuff so your not putting a lot of miles on your G and putting it at risk. I'm thinking about gettin an old junker truck just to drive to work and college. You'll care about it and appreciate it a lot more if you buy it yourself...

(For me at least) Also i don't try hard at all and i'm graduating early...
The fact that you started swearing and using profanity language doesn't make you a bit tougher/manly, instead it only tell us the comments I stated above were mostly held true. You got angry because you knew it is true and you have got nothing else to say but some pathetic F words.
This may not be perfecly co-related, but a mature peson will usually try to use sound logic and facts to reason with people and make them understand his/her underlying thoughts, which I don't see any of that in you. (not that i am surprised, anyways.)
Of course you can say whatever the hell you want about your G, you can even make a claim that Lamborghini Reventon doesn't have enough horsepower for a pimp like you. But that won't impress anybody until you've shown the adequate maturity and skills to handle these machines.
And just a sidenote, During my life and career, I have seen many people bragging about their achievement in career, how much money they make annually, what sort of financial/accouting designations they acquired, business sales target that they met, etc. But never had I seen anybody bragging about finishing HIGH SCHOOOL one year sooner.. you might as well tell us you deserve your G because you finish your lunch box an hour quicker than everone in your class everyday... c'mon. give us a break.
Nice chatting with you.

Thought this horse woul've been processed and packed by now. Geez, louise, YES A G IS WAY TOO MUCH POWER FOR THE AVERAGE 16 YR. OLD. If you don't think so, I'm sure you drove a GT3 or a RUF 911 before, you sir are a God. WOW. Guess if you can afford it and are 16 yrs. of age, that alone would tell me that you should be bright enough to come up with the conclusion that guess what, here it is again. YES A G IS WAY TOO MUCH POWER FOR THE AVERAGE 16 YR. OLD.
GL with your decision, if you do buy it, post pics when you total it, please.

I don't know but I pay a premium that even a 40 year old with 5 accidents and 10 tickets doesnt even pay. it's not fair but that is apart of the package of being a teen. Their are just more adult drivers than teens. I think that is one major reason why it makes us look so much worst.
By the same token, you may be an excellent teenage driver with no tickets or accidents. However, you are a minority in your age group and unfortunately you are paying for all the other bad teenage drivers. It's all a part of statistics.

having the power is nice, it really depends on the person.. i'll admit i go WOT every once in a while, but most of the time I cruise the speed limit or nothing more than 5mph over.. the power comes in handy when some dumba** changes lanes and almost clips your rear or when you're passing a large semi on the freeway.. anyways I don't think it really matters what car you drive, it's the person's mentality and experience that makes the car dangerous

Difference is, at 16, I'd do it anytime, where as now, I'll only do it when I know it's (relatively) safe, and that I can't hurt anyone else.

Because of this, insurance companies know you are more likely to get into an accident and therefore need to recoup the losses they are going to sustain. You have to look at the averages - just because one 40 year driver has a ton of tickets doesn't mean all 40 year old drivers drive this way. On average they do not. But this makes it appear that the bad 40 year old is getting away with it but in reality, he is in the minority for 40 year old drivers so his rate is not as high.
