As far as your uncle is concerned it doesn't sound like he sells too many 8's with an attitude like that. Some of my co-workers actually tried talking me out of buying the 8 because the were jealous. Sounds like that may be the case with your uncle.

I don't want you to crash. That's all. I've never met a 16 year old who I'd give the keys to a sports car to - nothing personal. Just read about young people and expensive/fast/etc cars too often
