I asked for a 1996 Volkswagen GTI VR6 5 speed when I was 16. That was what I wanted and expected in a first car. It cost $4000-5000 at the time. My dad actually bought me something with half the power for half the price, a 1996 Mazda Protege DX 5 speed. I drove that for 8 years and never switched it under my name so it was officially my dad's car all those years, and then I bought my first car with my own money, a 2000 Porsche Boxster 5 speed.
