is your dad willing to pay your car payment a 2nd time on your insurance costs?

.. do you really want a really nice car for your first car? I regret it, you will feel like total **** when you **** it up.

a 13 grand 350z is doable but you would need to find one with 80k+ miles on it.

if you threw down some of your own money, you could get a nice ride.

depending on the labor lawns in your stat you might have to do under the table stuff,, I suggest drug dealing, its the most lucrative.

Can you even drive yet? Honestly, you will wreck it. A RWD with that much horsepower......yeah, you'll wreck it. But good luck!

That's street racing, kid.

Take my advice...

Mature alot
Save more money
Buy your own car (something that suits your skill (or lack of) level).

You don't have the skill you think.

Btw, how much horsepower did the fwd camaros have? You got lucky to get a rwd one.

Get a used Sentra.

Hey, that's not true. He's been playing Need for Speed for a few years now, he knows how to handle the power!

+1. and preferably a 1991-1994 Sentra. But if you really want to look cool, you can get a 1995-1999 sentra with a fart can. I thought stuff like that was cool in 9th grade too.

and havent you heard? there is a new rule now that you must be able to grow a beard to drive a Z

guarantee that if you do get a Z (i really hope you dont) you will race, and you will get caught or into an accident. so please do not buy a Z, we dont like seeing stories about another dumb f*ck crashing his Z and injuring someone else.

Why not take the advice and get a beater first? whats the worse that could happen? You gain DAILY DRIVING experience. You might think you have lots of experience but how can you if you dont even have your license yet. The fact is I guarantee you dont have the reaction time needed for daily driving with people who I swear to god had to have bought their license.

Instead of flaming which always does next to nothing. Why don't we try something different for once?

zaid990..

Have your dad come on here.. He'll be able to converse with others members 1st hand. On anything and everything concerning the 350z.

[QUOTE=zaid990;6377284]

Hey everyone im zaid990, i dont have a 350z yet though.. alright here is my problem im 15 and i have my permit, but im getting my liscense in july,
So far, OK. We were all 15 once and had a permit. Welcome.

the day i saw a nissan 350z i knew that that car was the only car i would settle for as my first car...
OK, now we start to see a problem. "Only car you would settle for"? Immediately my reaction is that you are a spoiled brat as well as a snot nosed kid. But maybe I'm wrong?

my dad is willing to pay between 11 - 13 grand, and i want like an 03 or 04 (convertible would be better) 350z. So i need to save up about 3 - 4 grand.....i already have a savings account..so could you guys give me some ways to make that much money by july??
I guess I wasn't wrong. You are a spoiled brat. Your father, idiot that he is, is willing to buy you a car and spend between $11,000-$13,000. Yeah, spoiled.

OTOH, I know that I had to keep reminding my kids that the 3rd and 4th vehicle that I bought so they would have something to drive was always MY car that I suffered them to be able to drive when I allowed it for MY convenience. Maybe your Dad is the same and you are just confused into thinking that a) he would buy you a car and b) he would allow you to ever drive a RWD sports car. Or maybe he really is an idiot spoiling his son?

thanx everyone
You're certainly welcome.
