In before “title is going in fathers name for insurance purposes. Daddy is fronting the money, I’ll ‘pay’ him back.”

Seriously though, ‘fun and safe; on the sportier side’ in the same sentance? Take the cash and buy a used car straight down. That Audi at 9 grand in our forums would be prime as hell for a 17 year old. Plus, at 4 doors, it’ll be better when you go off to college.
