So you're paying for the Z yourself and not taking money from anyone else's pocket in any way? Then my post doesn't apply to you.

 

In the end I don't give a FLYING F#CK WE ALL HAVE A Z, THE END!!!

 

Bad choice of wording on my part there.

 

The fact of the matter is, and I`m sorry to brag here if it seems that way [i`m trying to make a point], is that I`ve worked hard through the school years and even over my summer vacations to save up enough money to pay my college tuition because I didn`t want my father to have to pay it. I worked my *** off in school too, earning a 4.0 Unweighted GPA and a 1460 on my SAT. I was given a full ride to ASU, so I took a small chunk of my money and rewarded myself with a car.

on the other side, my dad IS paying the bills, etc... So make it what you will.

 

Again, my post wasn't directed at people like you who ACTUALLY pay for it themelves.

This:

Was what pissed me off.

 

+1 " doesent want HIS kid to be seen driving a Normal folk car"
for that would lower his dads stats.

sound like the type to put his kids in clothes like Armani, versace, tommy, polo ect..
when they are too young to even know or care who thse peole are LOL

parents using their kids as status symbols is what bugs me.

Im sure this child will get only THE BEST medical care in the nicest hospital, when he wraps the nice 350 around a tree or injurs another one of us ..lesser.. people in a crash
simply because he doesnt know how to handle a powerful rRWD how much expierienc could ya have at 16 on public roads??

 

i'm 23 and i treat people who wrap their cars around trees because i just graduated med school and i'm working with surgeons. My dad drives a 98 corolla.
i guess i just drive a Z because the bank lent me the money. AND it's such a sweeet car...

 

well allright then, it`s all good

 

what amuses me most is that we all are from different background and different upbringing, so of course were gonna disagree on how people should be raised

 

Welp, the dad said I couldn't get a Z... doesn't trust me with it haha ... I guess I can't blame him that much even though I wouldn't do anything stupid... I'm mature enough to handle a Z, I handle a business with about 5 employees.

I'll probably get an RSX Type S, maybe get the Z when I'm out of college... still one of my favorite cars, you guys are lucky to own such a nice thing!

 

Listen all you whiney b*tches, stopping argueing about each other & go take your Zs out for a ride. That is all.

 

Jeeeeez you guys are really getting heated on this subject.

While the Z is quite a capable car and indeed something that does require a level of experience, it is not out of the question for a relatively new driver. I drive 5 days of the week for at least 2 hours every day. I drive every day of the winter, and on weekends I drive sometimes more than that. I feel like I know my car like the back of my hand. And besides, you don't know about everyones background. I drove my first 420 hp car when I was 14 and had no problem. I learned most of my more techincal manual transmission manuevers on a 400 Hp car and often drive a 500 hp car whenever the rents let me. My father drives really agressively and makes sure that I study his driving habits as well as others. And some project gotham racing helps out on the side... jk jk

You can called me spoiled or what not just because of age, but my parents also use Kia's as daily drivers, and I am in no way ashamed of driving one of those. Sometimes driving those >100 hp kias is really fun, cuz you can feel like your pushing a car to its limits ON THE STREET! In fact driving in itself is so much damn fun I DONT KNOW WHAT EVERYONE IS FIGHTING ABOUT!!!! Us younger guys also have stuff to contribute to what you more mature members have to say. And we listen and look up to your suggestions.

At what age IS the Z appropriate? Is there one? I don't see us younger guys telling the older guys to get MORE powerful cars lol!

 

Hi Jakillo...Hey good attitude. I agree that this forum is for people that love cars and the Z in particular. Some of us older Z owners spent all our free time working on and driving our cars when we were kids. In my case it was a modified 240Z. So we understand the passion. I am glad that you love to drive and have a passion. I encourage you to follow your passion in whatever you do. That is going to be the real reward in the end. Is the Z an expensive car? I would recommend reading the book "The Millionare Next Door" for one answer.

 

I'm 52 my Z is paid off. Loving it BIG TIME my loves to drive it too.

 

I'm 52 own an 03 touring all paid for.

 

2 of them?

 

22 and just bought my second Z, all me no help from anyone and got 7% financing by myself.

 

18.....3rd car

 

i think it should be stated if people still live with their parents. its much easier to afford a Z if you're not paying rent, groceries, utilities, etc...

 

sure is easier
