Ah yes i just turned 16 about 40 minutes ago. I can already fell the transformation begining lol. Jk im just happy I was takin back from my vacation just in the nick of time to post my birthday! I already bought some presents for myself, Dvd-rom,case, power supply, hsf (see sig)
and my parents are going to give me $200 bucks! Should I use that to save up for an lcd or should I upgrade other parts on my little beast. I bring my comp over to my friends house a lot so I was thinking more towards an lcd, any suggestions?

You are 16. Buy a car. You won't regret it. Unless it is a '94 Grand Am SE.

I should be getting my licence in a month (stupid washington). I dont have a car but my mom might give me her tauras (i know) but I dont want to buy a car yet bacause i can probably just use watever she is using for a while and only have to pay $65 for insurance if only one car is on the plan :). O and ElFenix you have nothing to wory about as long as you dont have a giant sticker on your car that says ElFenix Jk.

A month is bad? In PA, we had to wait 6 months after getting our learners permit, and have 50 hours behind the wheel. And we aren't even the strictest!

Florida has 50 hours behind a wheel + 1 year after permit... it sucks.

You can get your permit at 15. You can get your licenses after 1 year after the permit, or when you hit 18, no matter if you've had the permit 1 day, or 11 months. Plus a few other requirements such as 50 hours driving time. Thats of course, if you pass the tests.

Well then psh, you can have your liscence at 16. Earliest possible for me was 16.5. I believe Jersey is 17.

To clear this up, washington lets you get your permit at 15 and a half if you not in drivers ed. if you are you can get it at 15. Before you can get your licence you need 6 months + 50 hours of driving, then once you get your license for 6 months no friends in the car and no drivng past a certain time.
