Haha. Funny you should say that, because I was 16 and had just made out with this hot chick in my car after school. I dropped her off at home, and then was feeling like a bad motherfucker when I caused a 4 car pile up...I had the car for a total of 3 weeks! My dad warned my that the first speeding ticket I got, he was taking the car away. It never got that far.

Bummer. I too got in an accident within my first month. I had my little sister in the back seat too (9 years old). It was a serious accident, the car was totaled. I crossed a major intersection without coming to a complete stop and got t-boned. My car did 2 full spins (which seemed to last forever) and then crashed in to a guard rail. My sister was crying really hard in the back seat and I turned around and asked, "are you okay"? Her response was classic, "dad's going to kill you". -I laughed out of relief.

Dad didn't kill me, I'm pretty sure he was glad I was alive.

At least your story involved a make out session. I was driving a wood paneled station wagon of my parents, not quite the chick magnet your mazda was.

Ouch. Glad your sis wasn't hurt. But seriously, just having a car it 16 is a chick magnet. Its your first foray into adulthood, and its the best freedom in the world for a kid. I rebounded as soon as I saved another $900 and got an '84 Town Car Cartier edition. That car was a riot, because it was about as big as a house.

When you've got a car like this: http://i.imgur.com/9D4bA.jpg the party goes everywhere with you.
