I bought my own fast car when I turned 19, after my parents flat out refused to buy me anything. I saved my money for a year and a half and bought a 5.0 Mustang. I admit I drove like a jackass at times, but I was responsible to pay my own insurance and cover all expenses. I think it made me a little more aware of how I was driving and to not push the limit. It also helps when you get 10 demerits in a 1 year span and the goverment sends you a strongly worded letter about getting your license suspended.. Since then I havent had a single ticket and its been almost 5 years..
