Pretty much everyone will get in an accident sometime due to inexperience or poor driving. I usually laugh at parents who buy nice cars for their kids because its almost inevitably going to get damaged or worse...
However, to your point: the fact that you are saving your own money, working hard just so you can purchase your dream car... I think you've got a better argument than most teens...
That being said, you will definitely get yourself in trouble with that car, its just a matter of being safe while you get into that trouble and not endangering yourself or others...
