Soon to get a 350z or a R1....

lol...

J (wonders what would be totaled first... Z or R1)

 

ya your funny man u guys are a big help

 

all cars are safe, just depends on driver

 

Come on guys, don't give him a hard time :-p. He's a fellow future Z'er/G35'er.

Anyway, for the 2009 model, they're probably going to be changing the Z, so it won't be a 350z anymore. You'll probably want to wait until the finalized specs are released on that before you make your decision. Plus, you have 2 years. That's quite a long time to decide what you're gonna get, so you shouldn't be looking for any kind of "definite" decisions yet.

As far as the "safety" of the car... well, as long as you get the side airbags, you should be alright . Drive the car carefully and keep your guard up 100% of the time in the rain and you shouldn't have any trouble. It might also be wise to invest in a performance driving program (I always recommend this because *I* did it and it helped me out *TONS*). Performance driving experience + *NOT* screwing around while driving = nearly absolute safety, all on its own. Also, don't drink and drive . A cab is cheaper than having to buy a new car because you totalled it, hospital expenses, possible permanent damage done to your body inflicting more costs later on in life, and/or hefty fines.

I think that's pretty much it... good luck on your decision

Edit:

Oh yeah, and get a stick-shift! Its WAY more fun.

 

thxs man

 

goddamn

 

Yowza nice car. I remember Leemik having a photo shoot with one of those.

 

Oh god just be careful on the R1. No tricks... that thing is insanely powerful.

 

ya i think i should get a r6 or something

 

Heck even that is scary... just a word of advice: If anyone points out your chicken strips tell them to STFU.

 

yup

 

Where in LA was that meet? that area looks soo north eastern.

 

Could you explain this?

 

yup we meet up in la then we go torward differnt places i think where at big bear we take the 605 all the way to the 15 freeway if u live in san deigo u can meets us in la

 

ok im going to sleep i will post lot of pics of all my cars tomorrow

 

I just like givin' ppl a hard time....dont sweat me kid. the Z is a great car, but for beginners like you should drive something else. Ppl your age aren't ready for a car w/that kind of power. even w/the proper training, you still need time to really understand what to do. I went in stages as far as power goes...from a 95 camry to a '00 civic si to a RSX-S to a Subaru WRX (modded) then to my current car..... But thats my opinion, take it anyway you like it man.

good luck to ya.

 

I still remember my first car at 16... Rusted out, 6 cylinder, ****-yellow 4-door '72 Maverick. What a PoS.

But it was mine and payed for (whopping $200)...

(This answers your question. Now post pictures of the lamborghini in the garage beside the Camry hybrid)

 

That's what I was thinking.
