@HachiRoku K, so 16 for like a scooter or something and 18 for an actual car. Gotcha

...

I was actually thinking that the car my char would have access to would originally belong to one of the parents or an older sibling. That way, they wouldn't have to fork out money for the initial purchase itself and especially for the insurance.

It'd also open up options for what exactly I could have my char bum around in :]

But yeah, I'll still keep to something sensible. I'm sure no-one would want to give up their NSX's or their Ferraris anyway, least of all to a high schooler who could easily crash it into a tree or something entirely by accident...

Alright, seems reasonable enough

@HachiRoku I meant it more along the lines of savings-wise. I doubt every high school student has a car of some kind. Owning a car, and even parking it/buying gas is a heavy drain on a likely part-time finance. There's the annual car tax/paid parking (both of which can run a pretty penny depending on engine + parking availability), toll booths on freeways, and even the gas itself (which is like $5 right now for one gallon in Japan).

@Sola

Oh, in that scenario, you do have a point. In that case it's all up to background: if your char's a part-timer in a middle-class family I doubt they'd own their own vehicle, but perhaps a mechanic/affluent senior would be able to afford such things?

I might actually pick this up. It's been a while since a high school RP had caught my interests.

Just trying to decide what kind of vehicle my char. Are there any limitations on that regard, aside from common sense that is?

If I recall the IRL laws correctly, once you're 16, you can get a kei car license (those really tiny motorcycle-sized cars). I'll help out a bit: the sporty models were/are the Autozam/Mazda AZ-1, Honda Beat, Suzuki Cappuccino, Daihatsu Mira TR-XX, and for a more modern twist, the Honda S660. But once you're 18, you can get a big boy license. Any reasonable car (this is a decent reference for used cars and/or showroom prices) is fair game. Obviously if you're gonna do a touge/expressway/circuit race don't pull up in a Honda NSX, Toyota AE86, or Ferrari F40.

I used to be there, and now I am here.

Welcome!
