16yrs old, first car advise?!
My best advice is be careful. You do not gain all the experience or knowledge you need in the first couple of years driving. When I was young, although I may have been a 'better ' driver ( reflexes, vision ,etc ) I did a lot of stupid things. ( lucky to be still alive). Now I am more careful, ( speed , recklessness) I don't think I am now a better driver, just more careful. Use your head, it is not there for an ornament. I am happy for you. I did not get my first car until I was 19.
