Hrm, I was home schooled. So...
Anyway, at 16, I'd of gone for a silver '83 944, or late 60's 911 Targa(assuming cost wasn't an option).
I actualy could of bought my own 944 at 16, but did not, did not put a car's title in my name until just a few months before I turned 19. Got my driver's liscence, and registered my car on the same day. Differnet offices in different parts of the state, I covered about 350 Miles that day when it was over. Had a '85 metalic red 944, Fuch's, recently rebuilt suspension, anti roll bars front and rear, all in all a fun car.
