If you want it bad enough, you'll get it. Chances are the new Z will be out in the next couple years and you can be one of the first to get one. Enjoy the site.

That was an excellent first post. We should each kick in a dollar and buy this guy a Z and cover his insurance for a few years. With over 60,000+ members, it could easily be done. This kid deserves one.

Welcome TJ.
Maybe you could try out something 'similar' the Z for your first vehicle. Something like the mid/late-90s (S14) 240sx (I know its a stretch, saying its similar, but its Nissan product, RWD, etc.) would be more suited for a new driver (less power, etc.) and the insurance has to be cheaper...'
Good luck on getting a Z someday.

Make a PayPal and see how much money you can get donated to you, it'd be wayy sick if you ended up with enough for a good down payment or so!

AAHHHHHH, a teenager who can write, punctuate, spell, form coherent thoughts, make a point, AND be polite.
$3 from me. Welcome to the forums and I hope you get your car soon. I would say be careful in a high-HP car but I think you have your head on straight so you'd do so anyway.

Set up a Paypal account. Even if you don't get enough for a Z, you might be able to take your parents (who are obviously doing a great job) out for a nice dinner. Don't forget to put a little away for savings. 
I'm in for $5 but if not too many people help out, I'll be in for $20.

im willin to pitch in for this kid too!! What a great kid. I say we sticky this post and have the members pitch in a dollar or two and help this kid live out his dream. He sounds very reasonable and responsible enough to own a Z. Lets do it!

TJ, welcome. When I read your post, the first thing that came to mind was exactly as TK said; even though we have new members every day, it is very rare to see one with your attitude. So welcome! You are a great addition here and will enjoy your time.
I was like you when I first saw the new Z in a magazine, except I was 22 at the time. After dreaming about it for 5 years, I finally got to order my own and now I have it. We appreciate things most if we have to wait for them. Enjoy the ride!

Right on TJ! Way to win friends and influence people...
Man, can I relate. Except when I was around your age, It was the 1993 RX7 that did me in. I visited the dealer at least once a week.
Set up that PayPal account and I'll contribute to the TJZ fund. Make sure to take advantage of the 5% CDs banks are offering right now. Also, helps keep the money tied up so you're not tempted to spend it on something short-term.

If this donation is for real I am in for $5, I agree with TK 100%, this kid is driven, intelligent, and is doing all he can(not his parents) for his Z, damn this kid is motivating, I wonder if his dad is Zig Ziglar
Welcome to the forum lil shaver....stay on track and before you know it you will be cruising in your Z....
