That being said, drive safe, and don't do anything stupid.

other than that congrats
Screw it, if dad's paying who cares. Money has no value when it's acquired for free.


Kidding aside, good luck with it and try not to crash it. It's an incredibly capable machine and at 17 chances are you have years of driving before you're ready to fully utilize it. Stay safe!

Wow this thread went so much better than I expected.

Anyway, get a lesser car for your first or take some performance driving lessons. Otherwise, you'll probably end up wrapped around a tree or building or whatever the obstacle you end up using as a stopping mechanism.

How many rupees are you kickin in?

As far as color, both orange and black look great. But I really like the metallic grey. You should get one of each.

That kind of power and speed as a first car can have devastating consequences.

If you are still adamant about getting the the Mclaren as your first car, make sure invest some money in a 'performance driving' course of some type where you can learn about the limits of your car.

As for the colour, personally I would go for Black. Keeping it clean shouldnt be a problem for you as Im pretty sure you have enough people working for you to keep it spick n span. Best of luck.

Skip the MP4 mate, get this instead. Perfect for Delhi roads and it'll push other traffic out of the way no problem.
