I think your father should spend the money too give you a better education my friend.
Kid, grow up. You’re 16, you don’t need a Porsche. You may be “stable” but when you start paying insurance for a 16 year old in a Porsche of any kind, you won’t be. And when you get in a wreck, you DEFINETLY won’t be. Remember how your dad said he won’t get you one? Well…maybe he’s actually thought all of that through. The price of operating a car goes well beyond buying the car. Maintenance, insurance, etc. is killer. For a first car, you should get an older Volvo – something safe and cheap. Then, if you can prove that you’re responsible, maybe upgrade to something else – but not a Porsche. I would be ashamed if I made my dad spend that much money on my first car – it’s not worth it. We’re very “stable” as well, and I saw no reason to buy an expensive car for me, a teenager. It’ll get scratched in the school parking lot, someone will run into you, you’ll get speeding tickets, etc – and your dad will just get pissed that he spent so much on your car.
Why do you want a Porsche? So you can show off at your high school? The boxter isn’t fast, and it doesn’t handle well. You’ll get your ass kicked by plenty of cheaper cars.
Don’t feel entitled to getting a car when you are 17. It’s a treat to get one – they’re not cheap by any means. I’m sick of kids whining when they don’t get expensive cars as their first car. You’ve driven what…less than 100 miles on a road? And you want a $35,000 thin metal box on wheels with that little experience? That’s like expecting an extremely high paying executive job with a high school education and no experience. Just not right.
GET WHAT YOU WANT! I like the 2003 as well. Come on people, he didn’t ask what he should do with the money, he asked what kind of porsche he should get. This is an ANSWERS website, and obviously people are giving bullshit answers. Stop lecturing him on what to do with the money, its obviously not yours. Yeah money could be well spent in other areas, but some people have the money and can afford porsches. 2003 is NICEE.
Chris , – although you may not want to hear it – there are some things to consider – the cost of ownership- do you generate enough cash to put out 5-10K annually.-for insurance, fuel, maintenance, tires,tuneups?
If your not in the position to earn your own money – instead of handouts- you won’t appreciate or take responsibility.
Get a job and growup!
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
i didnt know that, is there another article like that? because i really wanna know more about it
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
