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.
However - props to any kid who drove an AMX!!! Javelins rule!

I graduated in '96 as well...and was in the same situation. I bought my first car (and all subsequent cars). It was an '85 Plymouth Turismo. It was a piece of junk. It lasted just over a year.
There were no Porsches at my high school. There were plenty of BMWs, SUVs. One kid had a 3000GT VR6 with a Knight Rider light in front. The whole football team had Jeeps with their numbers on the spare tire covers. One kid, who's parents one the lottery, bought himself a Mustang GT. He got bored with it after 6 months and crashed it into a brick wall, walked to a dealership, and bought himself a Blazer.
