Although based on how he talks...he's more likely to take out his own left shoulder trying to drift in his new 350z...

I'm 19 and work almost 10 hours a day.... soon enough I'll be able to afford a used 350z

Atleast my parents are going to chip in on insurance... so that'll be really nice for me.

You should fit fine... Your head might touch the roof though.

Get a roadster and go top down

I know this may sound lame and boring, but trust me on this one. The last thing you want to do at your age is be dumping large sums of money into a deprciating asset like a car. You are much better off by putting that money in a free "high yeild" savings account (5.0% APY), and earning a bunch of interest. That way, later on you will be able to use that money to invest in some form of financial portfolio (stocks, bonds, CD's) and earn even more money.

If you are young and happen upon a lot of money, save it. The rewards you will reap later on will be far more valuable than a simple sports car today. The 20K you save today could mature into 40K in 5-6 years with sound financial investing. I myself am 25, and I am VERY glad I saved and invested my money since I was a teenager.

Then again, chicks dont tend to dig bank account statements as much as 350Z's...

I definatly understand what your saying and trust me im doing just that.

It wont be a small settlement by any meens haha. If it comes out lower then expected Ill rethink the situation.

N as for the court settlement, big ole Company truck slammed into me and my madra when i was 14, she had surgery n it ****ed up my right shoulder, N lets just say I was a top notch pitcher with a bright future and now I cant play baseball.
Last time I checked, since you are still a minor, your Parent or Guardian will receive the settlement money NOT you.

What makes your think they like you that much to drop $30K on an impractical sports car?

6'5'' and no problems with head or leg room in the coupe. I couldn't fit into the roadster because the seat can't go far back bc of the wall for the convertible top.
