Nope.
I've been driving since I was 12, but even when I turned 16, I got to bounce between my moms car and dads truck. Then I got my own Bronco and want from Bronco to a sports car. My dad pad for the sports car, but I had to earn my own car first, then prove I wouldn't destroy it.
There's no way I'd buy a fresh driver anything with the performance of an STI.
