It's also extremely unrealistic. This whole scenario makes no sense. A 16 year old can't expect a shiny new car just because everyone else is getting one. You have to work hard for it, or communicate to your parents what you need to do to get a new car. And unlike a shiny new car, a marriage won't be there waiting for you when you feel like you deserve it. But, going with the car theme, here's what you need to do. You need to do your research, you need to take a look at all the offers, check under the hood and see what needs work and what is good to go, take it for a test drive--maybe there's blindspots that don't work for you or it doesnt' have the features you're looking for...test drive a few, maybe more, until you decide, "this one's for me", then once you have it, you got to put TLC into it, keep it oiled and gassed. Yeah....I'm really not digging this car scenario, because you can't compare a relationship with a car. It just doesn't work.
