damn. you guys are young.

in my days, no one drove a lexus. and we were a pretty wealthy town. Of course, back then, lexus cars were ALL ugly, or grandpa-like. no one drove the SC.

there were a few bmw 318i 4-bangers, and a bunch of riced up hondas with fart cans.
i remember there was a nice yellow RX-7

i'm sure today, mommy and daddy have bought their kids mercs, audis, and other crap. spoiled kids with bad grades

there was a kid who had a brand new B5 S4 when I was a senior in high school...it wasn't the most expensive, but I thought it was the coolest car on the lot.

I go to grad school now but someone drives a modded 911 turbo. There's also this girl who drives a AMG SL w/ big *** chrome wheels.....

Class of 99 here. My good friend had new M3, before that SC300. I was so jealous but not so much anymore. I'm proud of myself for paying for my own stuff. Other kids had CLK's, Range Rover, Hummer, IS300, RSX's, Corvettes... I had my parents' 10 yr old camry LOL

One of my best friends who graduated with me had a CLK550; And often switched cars with the rest of his family; He drove his Mom's S550/ the LX570/His Bro's GS430(2GS))...
The other nicer rides were a 135i a few (in better condition E46's); and my 2GS that's about it (which was stock until that summer) after I graduated)

But as far as nice cars and being under 20 the cake goes to Ben LS460...
19 and Ballin with a Walded out LS460 stopping on Blingbo's (Brembos) and an ISF soon to be modded through the roof as well)...

Whenever I see a high school kid driving a really nice car I wonder what they have to aspire to in the future. Maybe they have family money or will end up with a great paying job and will always be able to drive a high end car, but I know of a few people who ended up in a lot of debt trying to keep up the lifestyle they got used to when mom and dad were footing the bill.

I went to a small private school and when I graduated in 1993 a lot of my classmates got new cars. Nothing like has been listed here, but we had a few twin turbo Rx-7s, a M3 and a bunch of 3 series coupes. One kid got a 911 and a girl a year behind me got a Lotus Esprit.

the parents usually foot the bill all the way through college.

then you have the few who are 30 and still living with mom and dad....

^^^^My AP teacher for example who is 28, he drives a nice car, but still lives with his parents and is a complete *****. Back when he went to the school he teaches at, he was the type of kid who got everything from mom and dad.
