What did you get for your 18th birthday?
When picking up some dash globes from the local stealer the other day I was nearly run over by a school kid in a new M3. There he was in his school uniform, 'P' plates (new drivers must display 'probationary' plates for their first two years of driving) pounding doof, doof and arm out the window complete with cigarette. He looked at me like I was some piece of **** then *laid rubber out of the carpark. This nearly caused a pile up on the main road resulting in a flurry of horn tooting, flashing lights and abuse. When I mentioned to the guy out the counter that I'd never let my 18 y/o kid pick up my M3 from the dealer he said... " It's not his father's, it's his... got it for his 18th birthday. It was just in for it's first service."
*I thought these things had traction control?

Prerequisite for owning an ///M car under 25.....DRIVING SCHOOL!!!!
It's been so long since I was 18, I don't remember getting anything. =)
Good point Mark, hell of a resource, let's hope the kids don't get hurt in the process. Sorry, but I think the driving school idea would have an impact on donor engines. =)

Here is the car that the girl I dated in high school drove. Many fond memories of both of them. Money does so strange things to people.

a swift kick in the ass if i remember right
all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
I remember, I got the keys to a 7 year old base model (AM radio! and no lighter) Japanese truck, with all my belongings already loaded in the back
