On second thought, a DB1 in white would also work very well for my 17 year old self. It would even be practical with 4 doors, and I liked it better than the 2 door hatch version.
A good friend in HS had that as his family car, although he used to drive it lots. We did a lot of stupid stuff in it, of course including speed runs on the UBC stretch of SW Marine Drive lol~
(I'm surprised I couldn't find a photo of an unmolested white DB1 at all...)
These cars were so much better built than the Nissan / Mazda / Ford crap that my dad bought, and at the time, I just couldn't understand why Dad didn't go with Honda / Acura products.
(Of course, now that I am in a similar position as he was in, I have a better understanding of the constraints he had to juggle...)
