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.

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.

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 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
