I know a lot of you own cars, so I might as well ask in here.
a) What age did you buy your first car?
b) Did you take out a loan?
b1) How much was the loan?
b2) Did you buy the car and Insurance with the loan?
c) How much was your car?
d) What car was it?
e) How much are you paying Insurance wise? (assuming you are actually insured ;cD)
And generally, anything else. Like, do you still own the car or did you sell it, or maybe it was written off.
General Crap I know, but I am actually interested...

yea, i no but not every little detail, thats silly
I reckon DW might be thinking of getting his own car, sometime, later on within the next year. I think he's coming up to the age of 17, when you reach the age when you can start driving, so you can see why he's so interested to know - for future-interest.
Most 17-year-olds are interested when they get to that age.
...Maybe you will be, too, when yo get there, some-day, too?

I got my very first (and, so far, ONLY) car back at the end of March, this year, for my 18th Birthday.
It's a silver, "limited-edition" Ford escort `Sapphire´; hatchback with 5 doors, 8-years-old, and I'm only the SECOND person to have owned it, so far.
It had one-or-two 'minor' problems when I first got it, but those were sorted when I got it MOT'd, back in May. And for a first car, it really is superb!
Insurance-wise, I'm paying £900-a-year, third-party-only (I think...?) with Tesco, and my dad's name as the "main owner".
It's set to go up next year though, once my parents get divorced, and I have to pay for it ALL myself, with my name as the sole-owner.
The worst thing about it, though, is that I still cannot drive it alone.
I've been taking driving lessons since only February (just before I turned 18) and, after a heck-of-a-long waiting-list, my test is FINALLY coming-up on Thursday morning. I don't even want to THINK about failing it, right know!
The only thing I've really splashed-out for it on was £20 for some nice mats - and that's about it, really. I'll be getting something that'll allow me to play my Mini-Disc player through the stereo system, by I probably won't be getting any speakers put in, anytime soon.
Not only do I see it as rediculous the way some people drive with their cars "bouncing" down the road to the beats, but there's a high crime-rate for cars at college, with people's vehicles and poesessions having "gone missing" quite often over time! :S

I think you can have more than one additional driver. Not entirely sure though.
Have a look at somewhere like www.admiral.com for quotes. Apparentley they like young people (according to thier adverts!)

It usuaully gonna be around £1000 a year even for a small car when you first start driving but you can always get the insurance under your mum/dads name and just have yourself as an additional driver.
Thats what i do and its about £400 a year for a 1.2 Corsa sxi.
