I admire you for having the courage to make a tough decision. I know it probably wasn't easy. You will be back to drive another day, somewhere down the road, sometime when it's right.

Best regards,
Wayne

...Reasoning for saying u recommend any other teens stay away? Cause I'm 17 and I say if the person is mature enough that its fine.

any teen offered this car and has his or her thoughts so clouded by its beauty that they cant see its not right for the time being

wayne, it was tough, but ill def. be back in a couple of years, and hopefull by then Stock FI Zs will be out, as the liscence plate says ..

Z U L8ter! ... ill be making occasional stops to ridicule those deserving, (COUGH 4SHIZZLE COUGH), and check back with you guys

i wont be getting it because its not economical for me, aka, doesnt fit musical gear, surfboards, friends, ect ect

however! i WILL NOT be leaving the Nissan/Infiniti family! i think ill be getting the FX35

arent you ever worried about what would happen if (God forbid) you got into an accident?

I myself am 18 and I consider myself to be a very good driver.

Iv taken safety driving courses also and emergency maneuvers at a local stunt driving school.

Teens can be the best drivers, after all we are young and have the best reaction time to a situation, but for some reason do stupid things and take big risks. As for the accident issue, I didnt understand what you meant by that because anyone can get into an accident, not just teens.


If you feel that you are not ready for the Z then that is fine for you, I wish you the best in later years.

Teens can be good drivers but I do not agree that they can be the best drivers. They lack experience. This only comes in time. This is not a put down to teens. Look at all your world class car drivers.

great, and I agree with your conclusion but...doesnt the FX-45 have 315 crank horsepower??? I'm failing to see how this is any safer of a choice here ...

you misread my friend ... the FX35 ... it has 280 V6 (same exact one as the Z) and has a thicker frame to support the extra weight, plus its an SUV ... so
