Hah not another one of these threads. Why is it that each week there is a thread about how old you are, or "im 17, just bought a Z and here's how im paying for it"... WHO GIVES A ****. Its a internet chatroom, and i dont believe half of what most of these "younger" guys say anyway.

Maaaan! I really wanted to avoid making a post, but for some reason I kept reading, and the more I read, the more ridiculous it got. So that's all I have to say.

Thats a car payment. We re not talking about buying S500s here, these cars really arent that much. 
If the cars aren't that much...then why start a thread about parents buying a 350Z for their 16 year old kid if 350Z's "really aren't that much"?

Paying for it yourself doesn't count if you aren't also paying rent/mortgage and for everything else to keep yourself sustained. 
Having mommy buy your toilet paper while you post on internet forums touting how "I paid for it so I earned it" isn't how the real world works. lol I'm 30 BTW to answer the OP's question. Everything I own I bought myself.

sh*t. if when i was 16 my folks rolled up the house one day with a supra of rx7 and said "here, we make a lot of money, and we love you and want you to be happy and have nice things, so here's a fine automobile son!" i'd appreciate that car and take care of it better than any beater they could ever buy me.
when i see a kid younger than me in a Z - i say to myself "awesome, another member of the z family - and that guy/gal has a great sense of taste (asuming its not all riced out
)" not " that spoiled sh*t, i bet mommy and daddy bought that car, and i had to pay for mine all by myself. so i'm better than him, there's no way he could really appreciate that car like i do, because i am special. i cant wait to go on the internet and call him out - and all the other spoiled brats that are lucky to have my car."
edit: i cant believe this thread sucked me in.

No need to get upset, just communicate your POV civilly and most people will probably respect what you have to say. I know if I have the money in the future, I'd buy my future son/daughter a nice car, but I don't know if I'd buy him/her a high HP sports car... I guess b/c I'd be concerned about them. But that's just me

agreed 100%. this is the only problem i have in general (i'm sure there are some very safe/responsible teen drivers out there), powerful cars and young(immature) men are often a bad combo.

turning 19 soon and getting a Z soon x]. Just have to search for a used one with a good price. If your rich and your parents can buy you a nice car why not? If you don't finance a car on your own, it doesn't mean you don't know the value of money.

Buying a kid a nice car is not a problem at all... But buying a kid who is not responsible or is not mature enough is a bad thing. Thats why some parents start them off with a POS to make sure they can handle a nice car. When i finish my degree and have kids i will provide them with the best but at the same time teach them the ways of life. I am currently 19 and i am a full time college student and i work full time at a telecommunications company. My first car was a new 2000 Toyota Tundra and then my parents got me a new 2002 Toyota Tundra. I pay 425 a month for the z and i pay 157 for insurance... In a few months a I will own my own Sprint Retail Store. I was out eating with my friends one day and we sat by the window and i saw an older couple checking out my car with the face on the glass and stuff... when they walked in i was like "so did you guys wanna go for a test drive" Then the look on their face was funny, the husband then said "you shouldn't be driving that car, your too young, you need to be older" (somewhere along those lines) Blah... age doesn't matter, its how you live life and take care of yourself... Just have fun and enjoy the Z, not be an *** to a younger guy that owns a Z or their parents hooked them up with a Z because they want to. The only time i am an *** to a Z owner is if they are annoying or take their parents Z out and say that it is theirs and $hit... I hate that! That is when you should give em crap about it. Owell, everyone post your age and STFU now :P j/k
