ken, if it makes you feel any better im 19 and own a z (payed for myslef if anybody was wondering)...before that i owned a 99' turbo'd b18c5 civic that was pushing more horse than the z and i was accident free...it all depends on the drivers driving and how responisble he/she is, IMO anyway.

How is anyone under 20 able to buy a Z? I'm 18 working part time during the summer and I only make around $600 a month. Sure, I could go in debt and get one, but then the car owns me because I have to work all the time just to make payments. The only thing my parents gave is a 205k miles 1997 Toyota Camry, and it only makes me want to work harder so I can make big money after I graduate college.
A person getting everything without working hard for it ends up thinking they deserve the world.

He was asking a question, not everyone's life is as sad as yours so don't make comments that offer no insight into the post.
. Business School was paid by government grants, student loans and scholarships. Ohhh and I worked 25-40 hours per week throughout school. Have any more clever observations?

apparently this has become a post to brag about how much money you have made and how young you are.
So without further ado, I am 12 and I made 9.8 billion dollars last year cutting grass.

I'm 20 now and I think the Z is a great car for young guys like us. Anyone who says otherwise is either jealous of all the younger guys on here or spends to much time on this damn forum in the first place and should get off their *** and get a real job so they can by something or their son or daughter, or sadly themselves...

Well, Im 19 go to college full time work full time durring the summer and almost all year, bought my car with a 2k from my parents and a 10k down payment I saved up working at a resturaunt making really good tips averaging 500 a week plus minumum wage.I pay rent, Insurance, Car payments and all expenses for my Z. I actually bought the car myself when I was 18. So yes, it may be rare but their are the people that like to work for what they want even at a young age.

I drove a broken down buick in college as my living and college expenses far exceeded the money I could make working ALL THE TIME! Where the hell was I going to find the money for some fancy car?

It's sad to see there are so many tools out there who just cringe at the thought of seeing younger men doing well for themselves. That is one thing I HATE about the Z is that it draws so much negative attention to us that are young. The whole point I was trying to make was that this post is about a man trying to buy his son a nice car which I hope to be able to do too someday, this post was not about all the middle aged f*** ups that are realizing the world has passed them by.

Look bro, if you're not a spoiled little rich kid. Why are you getting mad? We're not making fun of 30K a year millionaires.
