Re: 16 years old looking to buy car..NEED ADVICE!!!!

You're 16 and you want to get a RWD car and drift with it? Heres my advice:

1. Get an FF and learn to drive. Its a sad truth that most people in the world just cannot admit that they cannot drive. They may be able to get from point A to B without hitting someone else's car but they wouldnt have full control of a car at the limit in a critical situation.

2. After you're a good enough daily driver, try a driving school like Evolution or Skip Barber. Then go to your local SOLO II AutoX events every weekend and after racing for a couple months and learning to control a car like your hands and feet, THEN get a RWD car.

Most underaged or novice drivers jump into a RWD sports car filled with dillusions of grandeur from their Initial D fantasies and end up loosing control of the car and could kill someone.

Also, STAY AWAY FROM THE MR2 or any other MR cars. Lift-throttle snap oversteer happens to even the most experienced drivers and you just might end up hurting someone.
