I got a 74 Vega GT when I turned 16. My first car and my first Chevy.

No, no one here wants to help you pay for it. But my house needs painting if you work cheap.

And I know what a $%^&*( head I was driving that 74 Vega with it's 4 mighty oil burning aluminum cylinders. I can't imagine how many times I'd have died before turning 17 with 400 HP under my right foot. I assume since your parents are buying you a car you are on the young side.

But good luck with the plan. I know if I were your age and my parents were willing to buy me a $30,000 new car I'd be freaking mowing the lawn, cleaning the pool, doing dishes, laundry and scrubbing the floors just to show how super responsible I was so they'd believe there was noooooo wayyyyyy I'd be doing intersection filling with smoke burn outs to impress my friends. "Nope would not do that, Dad." "You can count on me"
