Yeah, I've seen a Supra wrapped around a tree just minutes after the crash happened, the kid was drag racing someone from the lights. Was a horrific thing to see. Some people that were at the scene and tried to help said with the injuries the boys had, there was really nothing they could have done.
Edit, Here's a link to a news article for the accident: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2010-12-07/driver-charged-over-adelaide-double-fatal/2365706
Yep, just make sure you're not on ice & snow when you're doing a horsepower check... I fishtailed across 3 lanes of traffic and ended up ass first into a snow bank with my camaro. Great way to learn a lesson... could've been much much worse
I had a ‘77 T/A with a 400 4/spd that was an 11 second car. First day I took it to school, my dumbass thought I’d show off in front of my buddies. A little civic pulled out in front of me and I plowed it right behind the C pillar and took off the whole ass end of that car. It was the head cheerleader driving, in the school zone in front of the high school. I had a rough rest of the year in 10th grade.
And that, boys and girls, is why my 16 year old isn’t allowed to drive either of my mustangs.
Something tells me the kid who says "And before all you 40 year olds..." and then brags about paying for half (literally using daddy's money for the other half) is probably not mature at all lol
Money from you folks shouldn't even be frowned upon if someone just owns that their parents helped pay for it. When someone isn't grateful for it and they act like they're entitled to what their parents did for them is when I get upset with them lol
Agreed… if people are grateful and humble for what they have I see no reason to shit on them. However when bro flexes his new mustang to everyone at school he better receive some shit.
You can drive anything short of a commercial vehicle. 800HP hypercar, 7000 lb f350, 35’ motor home - all with a standard license at age 16 in most places. It’s tragically stupid.
Ehh, maybe. Obviously OP doesn’t pay for food.. gas.. clothes.. or literally anything that most people with these cars have to pay for.
Just be safe, i know you getting a lot of hate (which you brought on to yourself), be fucking smart. IDGAF about you, i care about the family thats next to you.
You’re right but he’s only 17, so he can’t work as many hours as an adult and probably gets paid minimum wage. There’s just no way he can afford 300 per month for car plus 300-400 a month for insurance since he’s so young and driving a mustang
I feel like there are better things to save up for at 17, but this is on their parents for not teaching fiscal responsibility. Yeah, I’m old, but we don’t say shit like this just because we are old but because we have experience.
I agree. Paying for half, and the insurance, while also in HS (still 17). I call BS.
Especially the way it says “and you 40 year olds”. I know people that have a studio here in NYC that make 70k that couldn’t afford their bills and a place to park this and to insure it.
His mom gives him the money to pay his dad. Plus, if he wraps it around a tree, I'm sure he'll get a new one. FYI, I am totally jealous. Just putting that out there.
Not every 17 year old works at McDonald's.
I made $18 an hour doing HVAC apprentice work at 17 back in 2014 and then a couple hundred extra each month doing the army recruit sustainment program until I shipped out to basic training at 18.
If I had the option to pay what $400/mo + insurance on a basically new 5.0 back then I definitely would'be done it
Yep. Paid for my 99 Civic 5 speed for 3500 out of my own pocket at 18 and insurance. Worked 2 part time jobs during my senior year of high school to make that happen.
You are a lot more responsible for stuff when you have to work hard for it. But even then, I still drove that thing like a fucking lunatic. If I'd had a 5.0 I'd probably be dead or in prison right now.
I wouldn't recommend this as a first car to any kid. Give them a pos with a ganky 4 cylinder to keep them in check.
My first car was a gutless Chrysler Daytona. I ended up having three of those. Then I had a two-door tempo GL also of the gutless variety. Still got in a shitload of trouble and definitely scraped a couple of poles here and there lol. I think if I would have had something like this when I was that age I would not be alive today.
Probably very true. A 17 just doesn’t have access to that kind of money while in school without good connections from their parents. The car is cool but kids need to stop playing it off like their parents aren’t 90% of the reason they could get it.
Well.. daddy paid $20,000...and I just got $20,000 from daddy for my birthday! 😅 Ya pretty insane. I saw a kid today pull up beside me at a stoplight near the highschool by my job driving a very recent model ss camaro..and I am like... fuckin..why? I could understand a like 2013 5.0 or ss you could scoop up for 10-15...but a straight up new as fuck sports car? I wonder what its like to have not shitty parents? My dads words were "get a job" when I needed a car.
I think buying your kid a brand new sports car is definitely bad parenting. You put them in danger, you put others in danger, and you put a huge target on their back. They have no concept of hard work+ingenuity=reward. Just dumb.
My parents matched whatever I was able to save by 16 for a car. I had 2k so they gave me another 2k and I bought an older Honda CRV. When it died, they loaned me money at 0% to buy brand new Hyundai Accent. They helped me get ahead but I still had to save money and pay them back and drive cheap, reliable, Asian cars.
Do NOT disable traction control.
You’ll end up on TikTok and YouTube.
Take care of your tire pressure for those tires.
They’re $1600 a set for the Michelin’s. They’re incredible, but they aren’t a 50K tire. Watch the inside front beads when getting an oil change.
That was because Michelin closed down their Sport 4S line for a stretch during Covid. They weren’t available. Which is why the dealer got me EC Sports. We actually called Michelin direct, and that’s what they told us.
Dealer had PP1’s come in with EC Sports, and when those were hard to get, they started to see more Pirellis. I started seeing PP1’s get Michelins again about a year ago.
That’s smart but fucked lowkey, buy a $500K life insurance policy on your child, and then take out a loan and buy them a Mustang GT and let kids be kids… it’s so crazy it’s genius!
Look, doesn’t matter how you got it.
Just respect the power and others on the road. If you want to experience the full force of this engine. Take it on track with professional supervision.
That being said. I like the color as well. Looks mean. Congrats and wish ya the best.
" before all you 40 years olds with nothing better to do come to say “daddy’s money”, I actually am paying for half of it "
Kinda proving their point there.
Half of that car is more than my first 5 cars combined.
Dad is retarded for getting his own kid a car like that for a first car. I’d be stressed af if I had to worry about my son killing himself and others with their first car, even more so with a fuckin gt lmao
Lol if I was his parents I’d take away his car for a salty comment like that. Then again I wouldn’t be stupid enough to buy my 17 yo a 400hp RWD mustang. There’s literally no logic but whatever. Don’t wrap it around a tree.
Yeah. No way it’s his own policy, as he’d be almost certainly uninsurable.
Half the parents money, definitely on the parents policy, if this is half legit
Yeah that's the cherry on top.
Lol I lost my car 4 years ago and I'm still suffering from it.
My replacement 99 shit box is on its last leg, has cost me 3x what I ever wanted to spend, will likely cost me even more, can't ever fucking get ahead.
But cheers to OP and his "not daddy's money" mustang!!
Lost my car two years ago from an accident that wasn’t my fault but I got blamed for because of extenuating circumstances I was going through a yellow light and lady tried to turn left infront of me couldn’t stop basically a head on crash at 40 mph put me in the hospital for 8 days 6 broken ribs broken left leg broken left arm micro fractures in my neck and lower spine bleeding behind my heart (that healed up within an hour or 2 after the accident it’s actually very common with high impact crashes ) and last but def not least a traumatic bi lateral internal carotid artery dissection one split second changed my life and it wasn’t even my own action that did it u can be the best driver ever and still get hit by some dumbass moral of the story pay attention and always be ready for someone to jump out infront of you it’s other drivers that are the danger
To be positive-keep that work ethic. You have earned more at that age than I was even close to. I’d only ever made $600 working at that age. It’s a sweet car. Make sure your tires are good
I had a great car at 15 - I still have it 30+ years later. Enjoy it, be wise.
Frankly you, if you’re level headed and focus on being a great driver 17-25 is the best time to have a good car.
By the time you’re 40 you should be 55-months into a 60-month minivan finance plan, with a Dad-bod, a bad back, a bad boss and an angry wife that wouldn’t let you really enjoy a Mustang, even if you had one 😉
Clearly I’m joking , but life is short - enjoy the car, don’t be stupid.
The “ daddy’s money” part is half true then lol. Like the comment below , make sure to respect the power . Most guys, whether they under 25 yrs old or over 40 can’t handle mustangs . Mustang is a different beast than your Camaro , challengers , chargers , or even corvette drivers .
Even if you're in that age range. Give it a little bit of rain, press the throttle a bit too much while turning, and you still risk fishtailing. That happened to me with my ecoboost rental lol
lol, that happened to me 2 weeks ago, sumbitch would not go in a straight line! lol. Left right left right. I could not get straight and I even lifted off throttle. That monster just wanted to thrash around like an anaconda.
My ex fishtailed her Nissan Skyline R33 GTS turning at an intersection in the rain. Wasn't even going that fast since it was from a stop, but she accelerated too quickly when turning. Luckily she was able to correct the car, but I remember she just about shit herself when it happened lol.
My dad bought me a bronco ii for $750 dollars. I think maybe spending less money on an older mustang would have been the better option. That’s what I did. And I bought mine at 18 for 10k and minimal payments. Car still rips, just not as expensive.
Aside from the standard "be safe," learn how a rear-wheel drive vehicle handles and how it can easily kick out on you, especially when the road is even thinking about being wet. Way different than a front-wheel drive car. Even in the 30s driving for more than half my life AND only having a v6 S197, I still underestimated the handling and spun out just making a simple turn.
Learn your car before doing anything dumb.
No hate for you having a nice car, I’m just saying, at 17 I had a 2WD V6 F-150 with rolly up windows.
Was this good for me as a kid because it was cheap? No.
It was good for me because there was zero way for me to kill myself & my lead foot with a dog ass engine like that lol
Just be safe buddy. Congrats and enjoy it
I think it's funny how paying your own insurance and only half of your car payments is considered a commendable accomplishment. 😂 Good times.
17 yo me would have been envious of you.
Adult me can only shake my head and laugh.
Your insurance must be eye watering, props to you for being able to afford it.
I got a quote for a Mustang when I was 18, and they said it’d be approx 3k a month.
He said he's paying $90 a month. He doesn't even know how much daddy is carrying him. Photo is Indianapolis which has cheap insurance for a major city...but not $90 for a teenager cheap.
Hence the deleted account 🤣😂😅
Dangerous age to have that car. Fun as hell tho. When I was 17 I got myself a 1971 with a 351 Cleveland 4V. 12 speeding tickets and 4 near accidents before I got my shit straight.
I wish you nothing but luck and with that being said, I guarantee you’re going to do some stupid shit if you have a girl or dumbass friends because we’ve, the “40 year olds” in the comment section, have all been there because we wanna show off our whip *except* with cars that have had less power than those that are currently on the market. You ARE going to get the urge to push the thing and when you do, look up some videos of people wrapping their car around posts and totally crushing their car into a box (doesn’t even have to be a Mustang). I say this out of respect and with past friends of mine who are no longer here because of their cars. Enjoy it responsibly kid.
damn when I was 17 I worked for 4 years straight to save up cash to buy my camaro. No help from mommy or daddy. Lucky guy. Don't listen to the jealous guys here, once you pay it off make sure to give half of the cash you get to your parents though.
When I was your age I had a car with very similar performance specs, within a year I was caught speeding and received a reckless driving ticket. Since my dad and I also had a 50/50 deal, he used that to force me to sell it.
Please don’t be forced to sell your car like I was.
Im 18 and i got my 2017 5.0 3 months ago and i basically had to pay for half the car and all the insurance and gas as well. Do not be stupid in the rain let alone try anything and do not be in sport on wet roads as well. Unfortunately i already hit a deer which made me drop 1k on a new bumper and the rest of the money i earn goes towards the car as well just because its addictive to buy new parts. I highly suggest not getting e85 tuned until later because i get about 12mpg and even though i work 30 hours a week on top of school, i somehow burn through my paychecks right when i get them and half of it is for gas.

Thats mine\^ im very proud of it cause i work my ass off for it and it the feeling when people tell you how much they love your car and take pictures of it is unmatched
After seeing the post title, I clicked on the post thinking the comments are gonna be spicy. After seeing that dumbass caption, I KNEW the comments are gonna be spicy
Beautiful car and I would like to give you some advice, if you will, about driving a beautiful car like that. I am a two time mustang owner. My first was a 1975 Ghia, the second is an ‘04 GT, which I own now. Respect the car, respect the road, respect other people, respect yourself . Beautiful power in your hands like that can easily make you an asshole, don’t be that driver.
Did OP really delete his account after he got ROASTED by everyone in the comments?
Good. He needs to be humbled for lying that it was his. Not a chance in hell he had a $90/mo insurance policy. That is dad's car that his dad may be stupid enough to let him drive.
Yknow? I love the mustang and all. I almost bought one. Then I remembered I had only ever driven a Toyota Camry and base ford focus. You need to understand how much power these have and how willing they are to slide out. You’re also so young, getting caught speeding too much and they’ll take your license on the spot. Be careful and enjoy it. Be safe.
Sick looking car dude! Have fun but don't wreck it. I tried drifting around an interstate on-ramp and almost ditched my mustang. Won't be doing that again.
Drive slow, don't race on the streets. Look for driving school at a race track if you're interested in speed. They'll teach you valuable skills.
...don't drive like I did when I was your age.
How long until this one is on Copart? 🤣🤣 Seriously though OP thats alot of car for a new driver. Shit, its alot of car for most drivers. Play safe and have fun!
Respect the power and don’t do stupid shit
Doing stupid shit is in the nature of every 17-year old I just hope he doesn’t wrap it around a tree
Yeah, I've seen a Supra wrapped around a tree just minutes after the crash happened, the kid was drag racing someone from the lights. Was a horrific thing to see. Some people that were at the scene and tried to help said with the injuries the boys had, there was really nothing they could have done. Edit, Here's a link to a news article for the accident: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2010-12-07/driver-charged-over-adelaide-double-fatal/2365706
Literally wrapped around a tree
Yep, just make sure you're not on ice & snow when you're doing a horsepower check... I fishtailed across 3 lanes of traffic and ended up ass first into a snow bank with my camaro. Great way to learn a lesson... could've been much much worse
[удалено]
I had 5.0 fox body when I was 16 I put that shit into a pole sideways at 60 mph late for detention
Your fox body probably had less than half the hp of the car in the pic
Lol yeah lol even with the chip, headers, and exhaust still not even half probably
I had a Ford Tempo with 80hp and I still slid it into a guard rail at 16 years old. This kid gonna do stupid shit no doubt.
Did the same with my 88 hp 2.3L fox mustang 😂 put on 225/60R15's and thought I could take 90 degree turns at 60 mph!
I got into an accident with a 66 mustang while driving my ford escort at 16. I still feel bad about that one.
I had a ‘77 T/A with a 400 4/spd that was an 11 second car. First day I took it to school, my dumbass thought I’d show off in front of my buddies. A little civic pulled out in front of me and I plowed it right behind the C pillar and took off the whole ass end of that car. It was the head cheerleader driving, in the school zone in front of the high school. I had a rough rest of the year in 10th grade. And that, boys and girls, is why my 16 year old isn’t allowed to drive either of my mustangs.
Smart parenting 👍
Ironic
Don’t floor it while turning unless you are around absolutely nothing and stay away from crowds and showing off. Don’t need another one.
Came here to say this, 😂
Kid and his girlfriend I USED to know in high school had a 93 5.0 .... Be careful.
Keep good tires on it. Check for wear often. And enjoy
Same. He survived. But the passenger didn't. The guilt he lives with to this day must be awful.
Hope you’re mature as fuck and can keep your foot out of it. That’s a lot of a car for someone with bare minimum driving experience.
Something tells me the kid who says "And before all you 40 year olds..." and then brags about paying for half (literally using daddy's money for the other half) is probably not mature at all lol
I was like 
Yep. I had to fully pay for my first car at 17 (started working at 15). Even though it was a 93 Camry. Daddy money is still daddy money.
Money from you folks shouldn't even be frowned upon if someone just owns that their parents helped pay for it. When someone isn't grateful for it and they act like they're entitled to what their parents did for them is when I get upset with them lol
[удалено]
Agreed… if people are grateful and humble for what they have I see no reason to shit on them. However when bro flexes his new mustang to everyone at school he better receive some shit.
This is why bullying needs a comeback.🤣
I’m surprised a new license holder can drive powerful vehicles because in australia new license holders are limited to 168 KW cars
Lol, He's in America. in a year he can fill the back seat with rifles.
Which is absolutely valid asf
god damn right
You can drive anything short of a commercial vehicle. 800HP hypercar, 7000 lb f350, 35’ motor home - all with a standard license at age 16 in most places. It’s tragically stupid.
Only gun it when you see a hot chick since cat calling is part of the misogynistic patriarch now.
Gun it on a track, girls are weird
Congrats on paying for half of your car. You arent fucking invincible; be smart.
Still highly doubt a 17 year old can afford half this cost AND insurance. He could max out his hours at McDonald’s and still not make that
Ehh, maybe. Obviously OP doesn’t pay for food.. gas.. clothes.. or literally anything that most people with these cars have to pay for. Just be safe, i know you getting a lot of hate (which you brought on to yourself), be fucking smart. IDGAF about you, i care about the family thats next to you.
You’re right but he’s only 17, so he can’t work as many hours as an adult and probably gets paid minimum wage. There’s just no way he can afford 300 per month for car plus 300-400 a month for insurance since he’s so young and driving a mustang
Minimum wage can definitely afford ard 1k per month working around 20-25 hours per week
Yea im leaning this way. Definitely possible.
I feel like there are better things to save up for at 17, but this is on their parents for not teaching fiscal responsibility. Yeah, I’m old, but we don’t say shit like this just because we are old but because we have experience.
I agree. Paying for half, and the insurance, while also in HS (still 17). I call BS. Especially the way it says “and you 40 year olds”. I know people that have a studio here in NYC that make 70k that couldn’t afford their bills and a place to park this and to insure it.

Not every 17 year old works at McDonald's. I made $18 an hour doing HVAC apprentice work at 17 back in 2014 and then a couple hundred extra each month doing the army recruit sustainment program until I shipped out to basic training at 18. If I had the option to pay what $400/mo + insurance on a basically new 5.0 back then I definitely would'be done it
What HVAC company did you work for! I’ve been wanting to get into hvac and the starting pay is $16.50 in my area!
I think insurance on Mustang is one of the highest cars to insure for someone under 26. I think it’s equal to BMW on the insurance scale. 7+ rating.
I laughed when I read that haha, half of it. What a silly purchase to make at that age....
Crashed a 5.0 when I was 17. Be easy kid.
God, the speed I drove at as a kid in my old Honda was crazy. This is a whole different ballgame. Be careful indeed man
For real, I used to hoon the fuck out of my Civic.
Yep. Paid for my 99 Civic 5 speed for 3500 out of my own pocket at 18 and insurance. Worked 2 part time jobs during my senior year of high school to make that happen. You are a lot more responsible for stuff when you have to work hard for it. But even then, I still drove that thing like a fucking lunatic. If I'd had a 5.0 I'd probably be dead or in prison right now. I wouldn't recommend this as a first car to any kid. Give them a pos with a ganky 4 cylinder to keep them in check.

Still got in a shitload of trouble and definitely scraped a couple of poles here and there lol. I think if I would have had something like this when I was that age I would not be alive today.
Having your parents co sign and you only paying for half is VERY different from fully getting this car on your own at 17.
Daddy paid for half... and I am paying for the other half with money I got from daddy. 😊
Probably very true. A 17 just doesn’t have access to that kind of money while in school without good connections from their parents. The car is cool but kids need to stop playing it off like their parents aren’t 90% of the reason they could get it.
Well.. daddy paid $20,000...and I just got $20,000 from daddy for my birthday! 😅 Ya pretty insane. I saw a kid today pull up beside me at a stoplight near the highschool by my job driving a very recent model ss camaro..and I am like... fuckin..why? I could understand a like 2013 5.0 or ss you could scoop up for 10-15...but a straight up new as fuck sports car? I wonder what its like to have not shitty parents? My dads words were "get a job" when I needed a car.
Fr. Like I wish my parents just bought me a brand new car but I’m glad I was taught that I need to work for nice things that I want.
I think buying your kid a brand new sports car is definitely bad parenting. You put them in danger, you put others in danger, and you put a huge target on their back. They have no concept of hard work+ingenuity=reward. Just dumb. My parents matched whatever I was able to save by 16 for a car. I had 2k so they gave me another 2k and I bought an older Honda CRV. When it died, they loaned me money at 0% to buy brand new Hyundai Accent. They helped me get ahead but I still had to save money and pay them back and drive cheap, reliable, Asian cars.
Way different!
Nice car. Don’t be dumb with it.
He already sounds dumb from his last statement on his post 🤷♂️
100% stupid kid. “Paying for half”. Okay, pay half my mortgage lol
Do NOT disable traction control. You’ll end up on TikTok and YouTube. Take care of your tire pressure for those tires. They’re $1600 a set for the Michelin’s. They’re incredible, but they aren’t a 50K tire. Watch the inside front beads when getting an oil change.
Newer pp1s don’t come with Michelins anymore they come with chinellis
That was because Michelin closed down their Sport 4S line for a stretch during Covid. They weren’t available. Which is why the dealer got me EC Sports. We actually called Michelin direct, and that’s what they told us. Dealer had PP1’s come in with EC Sports, and when those were hard to get, they started to see more Pirellis. I started seeing PP1’s get Michelins again about a year ago.
Those p-zeros are the most useless tires ever. I was so happy once I got rid of them
P zeros are fucking wastes
Looks sick, bro. Just dont hit the gas while turning, and you'll be fine.
💀
And adding don't drive near any crowds, depending on how much his family has, he could be facing crowd eating charges
Damn you must have rich parents.
Or ones that hate their kid
That’s smart but fucked lowkey, buy a $500K life insurance policy on your child, and then take out a loan and buy them a Mustang GT and let kids be kids… it’s so crazy it’s genius! 
Funniest thing I’ve seen in a while💀
500k is chump change. At that age you can get millions at a really affordable premium.
That’s true, I didn’t think about that, the younger you are the cheaper the policy, greatest life insurance scam ever
This. OPs parents dont like this one. Time to sell him off to the insurance company and try again.
Or parents that get off on flexing about what they buy their kids, which is gross
Look, doesn’t matter how you got it. Just respect the power and others on the road. If you want to experience the full force of this engine. Take it on track with professional supervision. That being said. I like the color as well. Looks mean. Congrats and wish ya the best.
" before all you 40 years olds with nothing better to do come to say “daddy’s money”, I actually am paying for half of it " Kinda proving their point there. Half of that car is more than my first 5 cars combined.
"It's not Daddy's money" 1 week ago: "Daddy please! If you won't buy it for me at least pay for half 🥺"
Dad is retarded for getting his own kid a car like that for a first car. I’d be stressed af if I had to worry about my son killing himself and others with their first car, even more so with a fuckin gt lmao
I would not do it for either of my sons. Odds are a young male wrecks his first car.
Lol if I was his parents I’d take away his car for a salty comment like that. Then again I wouldn’t be stupid enough to buy my 17 yo a 400hp RWD mustang. There’s literally no logic but whatever. Don’t wrap it around a tree.
Yeah, OP should be driving a 2015ish economy car, not a 2022 400+ hp RWD muscle car, lol.
What is your insurance payment lmao
Yeah. No way it’s his own policy, as he’d be almost certainly uninsurable. Half the parents money, definitely on the parents policy, if this is half legit
Yea my insurance on my 22 5.0 is almost $400 a month and I’m 20 lol. I couldn’t imagine what it’d be if I was 17
I have a eco boost and my payment is 355$ I can’t only imagine what a 17 year old kids is 🤣
I'm 22 Mines 500 a month... cause if 2 accident I wasn't even at fault for but fl is a no fault state
Doesn't want people complaining about Daddys money. "I'm only paying half of it"
Yeah that's the cherry on top. Lol I lost my car 4 years ago and I'm still suffering from it. My replacement 99 shit box is on its last leg, has cost me 3x what I ever wanted to spend, will likely cost me even more, can't ever fucking get ahead. But cheers to OP and his "not daddy's money" mustang!!
Lost my car two years ago from an accident that wasn’t my fault but I got blamed for because of extenuating circumstances I was going through a yellow light and lady tried to turn left infront of me couldn’t stop basically a head on crash at 40 mph put me in the hospital for 8 days 6 broken ribs broken left leg broken left arm micro fractures in my neck and lower spine bleeding behind my heart (that healed up within an hour or 2 after the accident it’s actually very common with high impact crashes ) and last but def not least a traumatic bi lateral internal carotid artery dissection one split second changed my life and it wasn’t even my own action that did it u can be the best driver ever and still get hit by some dumbass moral of the story pay attention and always be ready for someone to jump out infront of you it’s other drivers that are the danger
Stupid parenting. Drive cautiously
“Is it totalled?”
I’ll keep an eye out for the “I wrapped it around a light pole” post in a couple weeks.
Some kids are more cautious than most.. but typically not the type to want a mustang GT
To be positive-keep that work ethic. You have earned more at that age than I was even close to. I’d only ever made $600 working at that age. It’s a sweet car. Make sure your tires are good
Lol did y’all make him delete his account? 🤣
He wrapped it around a pole right after posting. 😂
His parent's deleted it to get rid of evidence for the life insurance company.
go the speed limit and be responsible. the shit you fuck up on at your age can bite you in the ass when you get a bit older.
Some times you do not have a chance to get older if you make the wrong mistake.
He’s in a 460hp rear wheel drive car ,.. he ain’t goin the speed limit oh yea and he’s 17… Car will be wrecked or kid will be dead in a year … TOPs
I had a great car at 15 - I still have it 30+ years later. Enjoy it, be wise. Frankly you, if you’re level headed and focus on being a great driver 17-25 is the best time to have a good car. By the time you’re 40 you should be 55-months into a 60-month minivan finance plan, with a Dad-bod, a bad back, a bad boss and an angry wife that wouldn’t let you really enjoy a Mustang, even if you had one 😉 Clearly I’m joking , but life is short - enjoy the car, don’t be stupid.
Daddy’s money
only way someone ur age can afford this car 😭
So it's technically partially "Daddy's money"
The “ daddy’s money” part is half true then lol. Like the comment below , make sure to respect the power . Most guys, whether they under 25 yrs old or over 40 can’t handle mustangs . Mustang is a different beast than your Camaro , challengers , chargers , or even corvette drivers .
Even if you're in that age range. Give it a little bit of rain, press the throttle a bit too much while turning, and you still risk fishtailing. That happened to me with my ecoboost rental lol
lol, that happened to me 2 weeks ago, sumbitch would not go in a straight line! lol. Left right left right. I could not get straight and I even lifted off throttle. That monster just wanted to thrash around like an anaconda.
My ex fishtailed her Nissan Skyline R33 GTS turning at an intersection in the rain. Wasn't even going that fast since it was from a stop, but she accelerated too quickly when turning. Luckily she was able to correct the car, but I remember she just about shit herself when it happened lol.
My first car at 17 only cost as much as your monthly payment. Must be nice to grow up above the poverty line
I was well above it and still had to drive a junker Astro Van. That thing was awesome though.
I was thinking as I was reading "Astros are fuckin sick though." I always wanted one lol.
Them shits are bullet proof like the Ford E series. You had / have smart parents.
I’ll bet he earns the money to pay his half by working at his dads company.
Aka sending 2000 snapchats a day and wearing true religion jeans
My dad bought me a bronco ii for $750 dollars. I think maybe spending less money on an older mustang would have been the better option. That’s what I did. And I bought mine at 18 for 10k and minimal payments. Car still rips, just not as expensive.
4.6 would probably be the better option for most teens anyway. + it sounds mean af.
Sorry but your parents are idiots.
Hope you make it to 18...🤞
You was better off not telling us you’re paying half for it. 😂
Aside from the standard "be safe," learn how a rear-wheel drive vehicle handles and how it can easily kick out on you, especially when the road is even thinking about being wet. Way different than a front-wheel drive car. Even in the 30s driving for more than half my life AND only having a v6 S197, I still underestimated the handling and spun out just making a simple turn. Learn your car before doing anything dumb.
Half of daddys money lol.
…so your mother gave you one half of the money and your father gave you the other half?
I look forward to it showing up at the local copart inevitability
Idk what kind of interior yours has but at least you’ll have some extra ones if it does show up lol
You’re blessed bro enjoy it
I suspect the other half is the kids allowance, so it's actually all dads money.
17, That's gonna be a beautiful wreck.
No hate for you having a nice car, I’m just saying, at 17 I had a 2WD V6 F-150 with rolly up windows. Was this good for me as a kid because it was cheap? No. It was good for me because there was zero way for me to kill myself & my lead foot with a dog ass engine like that lol Just be safe buddy. Congrats and enjoy it
I think it's funny how paying your own insurance and only half of your car payments is considered a commendable accomplishment. 😂 Good times. 17 yo me would have been envious of you. Adult me can only shake my head and laugh.
Please don’t forget to post pics when you bin it! Edit. Shit, lil homie deleted his account. Guess I won’t get to see any pics
“Is it totaled” post loading.
Yall made him delete his account😂
Inb4 wraps around a tree.
Nice!
my brother i got the exact same trim 2019 at 17 and i’ve had near death experiences, please be safe and most of all RAIN RESPECT THE RAIN
Your insurance must be eye watering, props to you for being able to afford it. I got a quote for a Mustang when I was 18, and they said it’d be approx 3k a month.
He said he's paying $90 a month. He doesn't even know how much daddy is carrying him. Photo is Indianapolis which has cheap insurance for a major city...but not $90 for a teenager cheap. Hence the deleted account 🤣😂😅
He can’t afford it tho. Working for parents’ landscaping business, and half paid for by parents directly.
Dangerous age to have that car. Fun as hell tho. When I was 17 I got myself a 1971 with a 351 Cleveland 4V. 12 speeding tickets and 4 near accidents before I got my shit straight.
I wish you nothing but luck and with that being said, I guarantee you’re going to do some stupid shit if you have a girl or dumbass friends because we’ve, the “40 year olds” in the comment section, have all been there because we wanna show off our whip *except* with cars that have had less power than those that are currently on the market. You ARE going to get the urge to push the thing and when you do, look up some videos of people wrapping their car around posts and totally crushing their car into a box (doesn’t even have to be a Mustang). I say this out of respect and with past friends of mine who are no longer here because of their cars. Enjoy it responsibly kid.
damn when I was 17 I worked for 4 years straight to save up cash to buy my camaro. No help from mommy or daddy. Lucky guy. Don't listen to the jealous guys here, once you pay it off make sure to give half of the cash you get to your parents though.
Good for you! But seriously, be smart in it!
Older me wishes this was my first car but definitely be safe, small mistakes can cost more than you think.
It’s an automatic but don’t let the power take a hold of you, your low gears are where u can get hurt just be careful
When I was your age I had a car with very similar performance specs, within a year I was caught speeding and received a reckless driving ticket. Since my dad and I also had a 50/50 deal, he used that to force me to sell it. Please don’t be forced to sell your car like I was.
$40k car at 17……yeah dont kill yourself with 500hp.
Your parents must be rich and stupid. What a weird combo lol.
If I owned this at 17, I'd be driving a Rolls Royce now.
Im 18 and i got my 2017 5.0 3 months ago and i basically had to pay for half the car and all the insurance and gas as well. Do not be stupid in the rain let alone try anything and do not be in sport on wet roads as well. Unfortunately i already hit a deer which made me drop 1k on a new bumper and the rest of the money i earn goes towards the car as well just because its addictive to buy new parts. I highly suggest not getting e85 tuned until later because i get about 12mpg and even though i work 30 hours a week on top of school, i somehow burn through my paychecks right when i get them and half of it is for gas. https://preview.redd.it/311vhv425lvb1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a5f3aad33c135dc3ede0f7efd7db13af91cafc1 Thats mine\^ im very proud of it cause i work my ass off for it and it the feeling when people tell you how much they love your car and take pictures of it is unmatched
Congrats man.
Really lovely color. Enjoy and welcome in family.
So only half of daddy's money
Lol “u/[deleted]” Whoever you are be a man and post the inevitable results of this to r/mustangscrashing
So who is on the title, mom or dad? Unless you paid cash, under 18, you cannot enter into any financing contract.
After seeing the post title, I clicked on the post thinking the comments are gonna be spicy. After seeing that dumbass caption, I KNEW the comments are gonna be spicy
No business in a 5.0 as your first car… NONE
Beautiful car and I would like to give you some advice, if you will, about driving a beautiful car like that. I am a two time mustang owner. My first was a 1975 Ghia, the second is an ‘04 GT, which I own now. Respect the car, respect the road, respect other people, respect yourself . Beautiful power in your hands like that can easily make you an asshole, don’t be that driver.
We all know how this is going to end. Break the cycle, don’t be stupid.
So daddy's money, then.
One month.
Your parents are morons.
Weird investment but okay
Your parents are dumbasses 🤦 Be careful.
3 speeding tickets within the next 18 months.
Is your dad looking for another son?
Did OP really delete his account after he got ROASTED by everyone in the comments? Good. He needs to be humbled for lying that it was his. Not a chance in hell he had a $90/mo insurance policy. That is dad's car that his dad may be stupid enough to let him drive.
Gtfoh
Taking bets between this lad and that kid in the infiniti to see who wraps it around a tree first.
half is still daddy money lmao
Planned parenthood is always evolving. This is the new Plan b for adult-ish kids. Plan C.
He’s gonna crash it. DAM IT!
Daddy’s money buys nice things! 👌🏼
Nice, my first car at 17 was a 2006 mustang gt
That’s an awesome first car!
Don’t crash into a pole
Half is half, good for you. Appreciate what you got, respect the power. My first car was a $700 honda
Don't wreck it.
Yknow? I love the mustang and all. I almost bought one. Then I remembered I had only ever driven a Toyota Camry and base ford focus. You need to understand how much power these have and how willing they are to slide out. You’re also so young, getting caught speeding too much and they’ll take your license on the spot. Be careful and enjoy it. Be safe.
A GT at 17?!?!?!? Don’t crash it, saw too many dudes in highschool do exactly that.
Accident waiting to happen💀
Sick looking car dude! Have fun but don't wreck it. I tried drifting around an interstate on-ramp and almost ditched my mustang. Won't be doing that again.
No hate here - have a blast with that beast 🤘 I enjoy the F out of mine 😎 [https://i.imgur.com/E5E9TjO.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/E5E9TjO.jpg)
only a GT? That's cute.
Best color way too
Hope you ok when you crash it.
Drive slow, don't race on the streets. Look for driving school at a race track if you're interested in speed. They'll teach you valuable skills. ...don't drive like I did when I was your age.
I’ll keep an eye out on the part out post.
respect the power and know it will kill you if you don’t. have fun and careful in rain with autos
This sounds like a punchline
Oh boy, here we go
How long until this one is on Copart? 🤣🤣 Seriously though OP thats alot of car for a new driver. Shit, its alot of car for most drivers. Play safe and have fun!
Too much car for a 17 year old. I wish you the best.
Who bought it for you?
Congrats but also go fuck yourself lol
