I don't care what anyone says, the maturity level is just not there to justify an M3, 911, turbo anything.
Hell, at *21* I was getting in trouble with a Corrado VR6.

Amen to what deathpunk states above. M3? 911? Turbo? Man, how are these kids still alive yet? My high school ride back in the mid '80's was a 80 hp 1977 Plymouth Arrow. With anything more powerful, I surely would have killed myself because I was an idiot when driving. Just too young to have any brains...
These kids must be very tame drivers if they haven't totalled these cars within a week of getting them from their parents. You can get an '02 M3 sideways in a blink of an eye without trying too hard. Put a 17 yr old in a 911 Turbo and you may as well order the matching coffin to go along with it... Man...
What are these parents thinking by letting their kids drive 300+ hp cars?
In my little mid-western high school, we had mostly junk '70's vehicles to bomb around in. There were maybe 1 or 2 really nice '70's muscle cars (if you call a '76 Ventura a muscle car) around. All the rest were clapped out '74 Buick Regals and rusty '77 Ford LTD's. The '60's cars were all rusted out by the time I was in high school and the muscle car phase was no where near in full tilt. We all drove junk and no-one cared as long as it ran and you could fit at least one girl in it.
