Default just saying hi

hi im getting my 350z in december (yes my first car) but im a pretty experienced driver. i learned on my uncles r33 skyline in korea and take out my dads lotus elise for fun somtimes. sorry for the lifes story, ahah... but since i dont know much about cars i figured what better place to learn then on here. only engines ive worked with before are my quad and 50 engine.

im not quite sure what i want to do with my 350 when i get it but i know i want it to look nice ahah. well...i was just saying hi.

Lucky kid -- enjoy! Don't do anything to **** off your parents until you get the car. Get a job and help pay for the insurance or something, your dad will love it.

yeah you're lucky enough (more than most on here) that you don't have to spend a single dime on a brand new car...and getting one as a first car too. At least get a job to help with the maintenance or modifications and gas. Your dad will probably buy them all for you but you should at least help out as much as you can. Good luck with the car and have fun but be safe.

ok good to see you are paying for at least half of it. you will learn to love and appreciate the car more if you paid for part or all of it instead of just getting it free like some kids on here. take good care of it...and how are you able to get a GPA over 4.0? Are you in high school or college? if highschool then it's probably AP courses right? man if I was rewarded for getting good grades I would have had a nice car during highschool/college too seeing how I pulled almost straight A's across the board but what did I get? A pat on the back, a "keep up the good work" and a free 3rd hand 1987 VW Jetta with 200K miles from my aunt hey but at least I learned to drive stick with that car LOL
