Depends-- is your cousin cool or is he a douche?

Don't get the same color car, regardless.

Hell no. Screw anyone that gives you crap if you do this. It's none of their business what you do with your money.

Please tell us your age. I think this is detrimental to an appropriate answer for you.

It shouldn't matter at all. Get one and say gee, we both appreciate the great things in life and leave it at that. If you are worried about "you copying him", I suggest you get a head start and do some mod's like an A-Spec kit, or wheels!

If you can find a good Type S at a good price-GET IT!

Then do a photo session with both cars.

By your question I'm guessing that you are younger than your cousin.
Get whatever car you want and quit worrying about anybody else.......

get the same car. get a different car. get whatever you want. who cares what anybody else thinks? all that matters if if you like it.

a good friend of mine had a 07 type-s a few years ago, i saw it, i loved it, i bought one too. they're beautiful cars.

Thumbs up

For the last year and a half I was the only one up here in Logan with a TL that was college age.

This semester, there are now six. Three of which are in my parking lot, including mine.

Both of these guys came up to me at church right after Christmas and told me that they chose a TL because they admired the fact that my car was the nicest one in the lot all of the time. So they wanted one too.

Normally I'd think "posers", but everyone still knows who's boss. Neither of them have a navi, tinted windows or anything else to make their car stand out. Most of all, the fact that I'm sure they paid $20k+ for theirs and I only got mine for half the price through the most amazing private haggling means I don't feel threatened.

As for your cousin, who cares. If he's an idiot he'll curb/wreck it first and then we'll see who's laughing then.
