if he just got his license he doesnt need a good car. hell just wreck it. thats my take on it. the first car is to learn on. if you cant drive a beater... how can you expect then to drive a nice car? its like parents buying the most expensive guitar for the kids to learn on as to a cheap guitar where they practice and learn from.

I see you are in Ft Lauderdale, if you bring your brother down to Miami, you can get him wacked for fifty bucks. Not that it is the right thing to do, but you have to weigh all your options.

Damn bro sorry to hear that but the GS is a great car i had a 99 and i loved it.
the GS is no LS but the quality is sill there and as you know there's a ***** load of parts for the 2GS so it's not so bad,i'd still try and convince my pops to let me keep it.. or beat the crap out my brother and make him understand that he wants a civic and only a civic, anyway good luck with whatever happens and keep us posted

LMAO!

Shlomboy,

The GS is great car as the others said its no LS but it still Lexus. I know how little bros can be, i like bonafyd's idea about using aggressive negotiations to make him understand how hot it would be to own a Civic.

I wish you well on however this turns out grasshopper, I'm sure you will do what is best for your situation.
