How about this cobalt at 16.

If i got a SS for my first car what you would recommend turbo or super?

I would only get a tune, paint the front lip, rims and brake calipers for the first year or so and id only at exhuast and pedders for performance for about a year.

What do you think?

Or get a super for 2 years and maybe switch to a turbo?

I really like the steering wheel in the turbo and the rims? Would those fit a SC?

Forgot to mention. Assuming nothing bad happens to the car. I will have this thing for at least 4-5 years. so im looking for a 2010 turbo maybe :P

And 1,500 insurance not 15,000 haha

18000 and you want a cobalt? You could get a g8 gt for 18000.

go for the turbo. Just be careful in it. At least if you're paying for half you'll actually appreciate it and take care of it unlike most kids your age.

That's good to hear! I hate when people just get things handed to them. You can easily pick out the ones on here who's parents gave them the car. Nothing wrong with honest hard work.
