Default It Felt So Gooooood.

...yeah so i went to the l.a. auto show the other day to make sure I am getting the car I wanted (Im getting a Z in a few months finally ) but I was also considering the RSX, STI, 330ci, and a few other cars. So I walked around for a while sitting in cars checking them out completely in & out and front to back. Turns out that

RSX - nice, but doesnt feel as good as the Z
STI - also nice, but I dont want to drive a rally car everyday (no offense)
new 330ci - I feel like its small on the inside?
Rx8 - Feels way too cramped up?
M3 - hot, but insurance > me (im 18)

...then I sat in the 350z...and IT FELT SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. Im 6'3" and had plenty of headroom and the seats are comfortable as ever.

and don't worry I've had plenty of experience driving fast cars and know how to respect them so you guys wont see me posting "oh my god u wont believe what happened" anytime soon...

Plenty of experience driving fast cars? At age 18? If you say so…

Cheers!

Congrats! you'd be surprised, I wouldn't call myself experience, but I've driven many cars, since I grew up working with in my fathers body shop, got to park many many nice cars (Ferris Bueller........) J/K

Haha yeah, I know it sounds funny ..but when you live with people w/ certain disabilities you're eligible to get your license earlier -_-. Right now I drive a 450ish hp honda..., and used to own a rx7 so i should be fine..i hope

I sat in a few boxsters, theyre nice but not too sure if i want a porsche atm, and the only thing with a second hand e46 is that most of them that I've been looking at are out of warranty and for me that =

Umm.. for German cars either you DIY or you have to spend like 100 dollars an hour for repairs and maintainance...
DIY is probably the best way to go in terms of learning and saving money with DTM vehicles...

Glad to hear that you are enthusiastic about the 350Z. Still it doesn’t count until the keys are in your hand.

Plenty of experience driving fast cars? Hell son I have hemorrhoids older than you.

Good to hear you like the Z. So why are you looking to get rid (I'm assuming?) of your 450 hp Honda now? What kinda car is it?

Its a 92 Prelude...my 2nd prelude at that, Im selling it mainly because I bought the car with most of the work done to it already... bodywork was supposedly done by some of the guys from superstreet magazine. Its nice and all but I mainly purchased it so I can sell it for a lot more than i paid for and get what I really want (the z). I bought the car for $4,000 from a friend...put about another $1,000 into it, and now it's about to be sold for around $10,000. Fastest way for me to make money for my Z right now since im 18, and right now I am pretty close to getting one

Hell go for it man. Im 18 but just lost my z in a car accident that almost cost me my life so drive carefully if u get the car im sure u will enjoy it. I mean it wont feel like a 450 hp civic, but it will still bring u alot of good times. Ive been in many fast cars as well, my bros supra tt, and the fastest Audi S4 in the country. The z was still a fun car to drive when i had it so good luck with urs and drive safe bro.
