Is it a girly car? That's what my son thinks.

He wants something along the lines of a used WRX, 350z, Civic, etc. But financing those cost more money and plus to maintain them will cost extra knowing they are out of warranty.

Now, what would you guys do? Can he make it look like a sleeper? Can you get over the girly vibe with car?

He is 50/50 with the idea,

any thoughts you guys?
Your son is 16 and of course he wants a WRX or 350Z. Hell, i bet he even wants the Z twin turboed, just like on the TV show! You might want to not focus on whats fast and furious and a little more on whats safe and fuel efficient. He needs to LEARN to drive before he hits the streets and thinks hes fast and furious and ends up dead. Or worse, he'll kill some woman and her baby because of his inexperience and guess who will be the guilty one (and rightfully).....YOU.

I see hulk hogans kid come to mind with this thread.
sorry, but true.
