Irresponsible parents FTL.

Buy him a Ford Taurus (I had 2 Ford Escorts) and watch him crash in those and at least live.

Then learn from the inevitable mistakes and grow up - THEN buy a Z yourself.

even i (being 16) agree with you guys on this one. Its not that he got it for his first car that got me,since its my first also, but the fact that he told everyone that his dad bought it for him and the extreme lack of knowledge about his ideas of "modding" his car.

OP,what year is it,how many miles, and how much was it?

Here's my PSA for the new Z driver. (It's much better to learn this on a track.)

Question to all the people saying the car is too fast for him since it's his first car. What about the people(probably some in this thread as well) that go out and buy 600's or higher for there first bike and think it's good for a beginner? But a 350z isn't as a first car because of the speed? hmmm, IMO I just think that's a little funny. I'm not agreeing that his dad should of bought it or what not. Just stating my opinion, that is all.

You wreck your bike, you will probably only kill yourself.

You wreck a car like a idk Z... you chances of killing others is much higher.

My argument is that the OP will probably try to activate the flux capacitor on his way up to TOP SPEEEEED and loose control and probably take someone out on their way home from work. If hes on a bike, he will just hit the ground and pieces of the bike and himself will bounce off the unsuspecting car.

Thats how i see it. That being said i will probably never buy a bike because i will kill myself. I know this and i am smart enough to make a wise decision.

the guy raises a good point. My first bike was a 2007 ninja ZX-6R, but there is a difference between a bike and a car, with a car you can kill other people, on a bike you mainly only kill yourself.

Well I was just talking about the whole, "the car is too fast for his first". But as in harming others around him, yes I completely agree with you on that. And +1, I myself wont buy a bike either because of the whole thing I think that I'll kill myself on it. But honestly, you can still be young and be very careful with a car like this. Is it common, no, is it possible, yes. OP, just be careful, that's all.

Who cares...it aint my kid.

Besides we all know now that you are going away to be a seaman. So daddy will be driving the Z around while your gone. So Technically it was for him but bought as a gift for you so your mother doesnt beat up your daddy.

LOL!!!

Respect cause you drive a Z?

It's just a car man. It doesn't make you better looking or anything.You're still a douche. Once you get out of your car and start walking you become a douche again.

Its all about thinning the herd... If only we could somehow find a way that these people only kill themselves, but they all too often take some innocents with them. If not I would contribute to a fund to help some kids purchase of a Z.

That's a little harsh man, you're talking about the kid dieing.

That is pretty harsh. It's actually the parents fault for buying the car for their kids.
Must I remind everyone of the dumb@ss Nick Hogan! If the mullet wearing Hulkster didn't buy his kid a supra that Marine would still be walking on his own. It's the freakin parents fault IMO.

Yep...same reason here. I know you make one wrong move on a bike (which my luck, I would make on the way out of the dealership) and you will get hurt much worse than in a car. I have had the Z get away from me a bit and it was fairly easy to correct, so most minor mistakes won't end up with my skin all over the road.
