I'll probably beat NSXTASY to this one when I recommend that you get yourself a "nice" used car for around $10k and put the rest of your budget away for an education. An NSX would be a very expensive car to restore/modify on a typical 16 old's budget. I've put over $5,000.00 modifying my '91 over the past year and that doesn't count the $3,000 clutch/service that was done right before I bought the car - and I'm well past the 16 year old mark.

Also consider that insurance will be extremely high for a 16 year old driving an exotic in California!

Also, I'm not sure what the weather is like in your part of California - bur the NSX is not the best car to drive in the snow. So you may have to have a "beater" around in addition to the NSX.

I'm not trying to dampen your enthusiasm here. I've wanted an NSX since they came out in 1991. But I went to school, got a good job, worked hard, and then bought my NSX.

Just my opinion

[QUOTE="Michigan NSX, post: 32974, member: 5232"] I'll probably beat NSXTASY to this one when I recommend that you get yourself a "nice" used car for around $10k and put the rest of your budget away for an education. An NSX would be a very expensive car to restore/modify on a typical 16 old's budget. I've put over $5,000.00 modifying my '91 over the past year and that doesn't count the $3,000 clutch/service that was done right before I bought the car - and I'm well past the 16 year old mark. Also consider that insurance will be extremely high for a 16 year old driving an exotic in California! Also, I'm not sure what the weather is like in your part of California - bur the NSX is not the best car to drive in the snow. So you may have to have a "beater" around in addition to the NSX. I'm not trying to dampen your enthusiasm here. I've wanted an NSX since they came out in 1991. But I went to school, got a good job, worked hard, and [b]then[/b] bought my NSX.
