Infact I think you should have to get a special licsense to even drive high HP cars on the streets. My .02

so... which number should we draw a line on? 200hp max for 21 yr olds? how about 251hp? you could be 70 yrs old and pose more threat to the public than a 21 year old. It all comes down to who's driving the car, a moron who doesn't know what he's doing or a responsible/sensible person.

Sorry bud. I am actually 26. The Z is not my dream car, but I do love the car. I have accomplished so many better than things then what I drive. Graduated from college with a degree in Architectural Engineering. I bought my first home. I have started my career. I have seen two buildings I designed get built, one of which won an award. Sorry to burst your bubble young one but my Z is not the only thing in my life.

People are just uptight ******. And a reason I can agree on is they went through college and worked hard. Paid there dues and got the car they sought after. It may not be there dream car but it is definatly a car they sought after.. And then to see 19 or 20 year olds driving it out of no where could **** them off.. I mean I'm 21. Flame me. But I worked my *** off for the car.. I love cars. It's one of the cars on my list of ones I want to own.. So it's more my life then it would be for others.

My point was that a 21 yr old kid shouldnt have trouble driving a Z.

There is just as much logic in my statement as there is in this one :

There is a lot of that going on. Guys, girls, young and old... mostly young guys though. They are all about image and how other perceive them. Almost like life is a stage and they are the actors.

I assure you my driving skills are just as competent as the average Z driver. If you read the orginal post, you would of seen that there were extenuating circumstance (the snow and ice) that compromised me having 100% control on the vehicle.

My first Z winter I connected two buses to get to work and back the 10 times or less it snowed.... the car was worth that sacrafice. A couple times when I knew the snow was coming well in advance I rented a 4wd.

saved up 5k for a beater and did what I had to do.

If you only own a Z, u're going to miss not having a back seat and not caring about parking near anybody when u go to the mall or supermarket. Having a second whip is the way to go.

The average Z owner knows not to go drive his car recklessly while its snowing outside. You are an average civic owner

I'm sorry some of us can't afford the luxury of having more than one car. You are an average child molester.
