When I turned 16 I got the old Honda Passport with many conditions. GPA had to be 3.2+ which wasnt too tough but if I screwed up one semester the car went away until the grades came back up. I had to wash it every weekend, not a big deal but just spending the time on it helped me to appreciate having a car at all no matter what it was. I got to drive because my high school was in downtown and my parents couldnt drive me or pick me up and i played baseball so we were their at 5am and didnt get home until 6.
The insurance i was setup on was the good student kind with a discount, couldnt afford it if I wasnt a good student. Any dings, scratches, accidents anything like that I had to pay for, thank god I didnt get any. The tickets that I got, no speeding thank god I had to pay for and pay for traffic school.

I was told it was a privelage to drive and they could take it away from me anytime they wanted if I stepped out of line etc. Thats why now, im 21, no car insurance cuz its too expensive on the jetta my parents leased ergo I ride the bus and my bike everywhere. It's nice, no paying for gas, worrying about ppl hitting me, insurance.

Hope this helps, now I am going to sell the Jetta and buy an old porsche!
