i also want leather seats, power seats, push button start, full manual. maybe even an suv

please give me some suggestions of what i should get!

Wow, 30 grand thats a lot of money for a 16 year old to spend on a car that will get wrapped around a tree or lodged into some ones bumper. I recommend you get parents who care about your well being, teaching responsibility, and the value of working for things instead of being given shit.

At 16 years old do you really need a sports car? Even if you can afford the car/insurance/gas, does it really seem like that great of an idea to have a brand new driver take a powerful vehicle out on the road? Consider these things get a job and buy your own beater until you learn things on your own.

Hope you prove me wrong

I know, this is going to sound ridiculous to you as the idea, but I am still going to suggest it.
As long as your parents are pretty much paying for everything ...
Why don't you take your 25-30k, transfer to San Diego college, walk to school and forget about the winters. Take these money and put it as a downpayment on the condo near the school of your choice, get a couple of roommates and have them pay your mortgage. When you are done with school you will hopefully have some equity from the condo and can take it anywhere you want. The best part, you most likely still be alive and you parents could be even thankful for me suggesting this idea. Unless you are a 'bot, pretending to be a human, then you never have been alive and the condo is useless to you.

It is always advisable banadictaustin to:
a. use the search feature on this site to see what other people are suggesting. Especially when you are asking for something as broad as "what to buy"
b. not to post in someone's thread, instead open up your own. Otherwise it gets even more confusing and considered "hijacking"

I strongly doubt anyone would work since 7th grade get 30k and spend it on a new car. Save your money buy a used car for 10k
