Your First Car Ever

You’re 17 and ready for your first car. Sadly, your parents (who are very supportive/respectful of your creativity and individuality) will only allow you to have one vehicle and it must be brand new and below $150,000 .

What car would you and your parents agree to purchase?

On a side note, the Model X was a pretty clever choice.

Below 150k for a first car? Geez.

Obvious answer is some generic sedan. Nothing too insane to run, insure, and nothing that will turn your 17 year old kid into a F&F stunt driver

Easy. ‘Vette Z06 sans Z07 package.

Who’s the douchey kid in the picture?

Anyways, I’d get an XC90 T8 R-Design.

Holy crap. I was about to say a Mazda 2 because I thought your stipulation was less than $15k.

Back to the research.

You’re the 17 year old though. What car would you try for from your two actor parents?

Jaden Smith, the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.

So, did that guy see Zoolander and then decide the evil DJ was a look he should emulate?

I can see parents getting on board with that. “Hey, he didn’t ask for a Ferrari!”

Easy:

Save the rest of the money for mods, investments, and college and Chinese takeout.

But maybe if I beg enough, I could swing one of these...

Even the most affordable Ferrari isn't affordable enough though

Ah yes, the XSE “Super Limited” trim.

Probably a Jeep Renegade 1.4T Manual AWD.

Just a normal Camry.

Maybe a GTR or G63. But most likely a Ultima Evolution with a 4 rotor. Or a superformance GT40

Ha, yep there is a twist to this one. Will Smith’s son just got a ludicrous mode enabled Model X.

After double checking the prices I would go with an R8 over the 911 GT3.

Ah, that’s who that is. Frankly, I like it that young people do their best to dress like extras from a cheap ‘80s dystopian future sci-fi film.

It makes it easier to know who to avoid.

Serious answer: AMG E63 S wagon. Expensive, foreign, fast, and lots of room for back seat/cargo space lovin’.

The Y61 Nissan Patrol is still being sold in Pakistan & The Philippines. At an average price of $65k Canadian, I can use the remainder of the money to import it, and VIN-swap it with a ‘97 Patrol. And since the Canadian government couldn’t care less about grey-market imports, they’ll never know.

That is the EXACT spec (excluding manual since it wasn’t out yet) I have had saved of the F-type coupe since release. Specifically with those black 20' “Tornado” wheels.

Subie Forester XT.

Safe, almost quick, looks decent, automatic transmission, AWD for snow usage. Perfect as a first car for spoiled rich kids.

My parents and I would have probably agreed on an X5 or possibly an SQ5—because my parents let me make my own bad decisions.

If it was for me now, with a kid and wife, and I could only have one car? A highly-optioned Mahogany Metallic Porsche Macan Turbo. It’d just barely fit in my $150,000 window (yes, even a car that starts at $76K), but it will include carbon ceramic brakes, PASM, torque vectoring, Sport Chrono, and a bunch of other goodies.

British Racing Green is the best color for the F-Type, and I think the V6 is much, much better sounding than the V8.

Also, with 380 hp, is plenty fast and fun without being too much like a Z06 or a 488 GTB

I think if your parents gave you 150k to spend on a car they would also pay for school and food.

What?!? It’d be really easy to say I’d have a new Mustang or something even more expensive, but really, all I’d want is this:

Set up like this:

I figure that’d take about $50k. The rest could be invested or sit in a college fund.

Panoz Esperante. I had a hard time choosing between an Esperante, Aston Martin V8 Vantage and a Dodge Viper. I decided the Esperante is most rare and weird, so it wins.

It’s a Honda Accord. But those are for PLEBS , so you get an Acura. It’s still very safe, and inexpensive to run, but you get to have an Acura .

The Mercedes G63 AMG. Easy to convince the parents because its an SUV and therefore must be “Safer.” it Squeaks in after options at $144,000

With a $150k budget, I’d rather stretch and get one of these.

But if I had rich parents, I’d take the TLX and pocket the money.

Ah good choice, but we’re imagining we live in a badge-snob neighborhood. In those neighborhoods a Honda is a sign of PLEBS.

Forget the 17 year old thing, this is still what I’d choose (just without the yellow bits). Aston Martin Vantage GT in Alloro Green, with the cloth seats and the 6sp.

Jaden smith comes off as the dumbest kid in the world. of course if my parents were stupid rich and parents trying to give me a movie career so would I.

If it was me it would be Singer 914, or all the craigslist cars within a 10 mile radius.

Buy a white V70 Polestar.

Send it back to Polestar and have them do dress up like the 850 from BTCC with the 2 tone blue stripes.

and have them put a BTCC touring car wide body.

Drop in a sequential racing transmission, tune up the motor. Perfection.
