That's a great site if he lives in Canada, but not if he lives in the States, and needs to import it here.

all i have to tell you is with a car like a camaro you need to learn to control your lead foot. At 16 every cop on the road is looking at you... gotta control your speed... im 17 i know the routine well. theyll also stop u to look at the car, had that twice. like benlo7 said you gotta have a job, unless your parents wanna pay for your car. i had some practice in a camaro before i got this one. i had a 97 to learn on ... thank god i didnt start with an old one because i woulda killed myself. i would suggest the same for anyone.

Believe me, age has little to do with it. If you're driving any car that draws attention, it will also draw the attention of the cops, regardless of your age.

LOL I drove a Hugger orange 76 Nova SS when I was 18. Yes 76 not 67. That was a whole nother car. It got my license taken from me but I still needed to get to work, on the last week of my suspension I was coming home from work and saw a cop. I was moving pretty good, I went from 4th to 2nd just in time to pass him with the motor reving at 6 grand. It didn't go well. 60 in a 45. Driving on a suspended license. I went to jail and so did my car. Bastard complemented me on my car on the way to lock up.

I lost my license because every cop that saw me had to give me hell over something. Tinted windows, loud exhaust, 8 people in the car... Everything.

LOL No plates needed. In 2000ish I drove to the next city (45min on the highway)with no plates, in a 78' Cutlass Salon. It was a work thing were 3 of us bought a car to pool in. The maiden voyage wasn't good. It blew up. The other to guys were following though. We tossed the title on the from seat and never looked back, lol.

Then last fall I had 10 min to get to work and the truck wouldn't start. I jumped the T/A with no plate. I live a mile away.
