If there's a thread with any sort of an age debate going on we can always count on you to show up. 
Even though I'm technically on the defending team against you, I look forward to every one of your posts. Please keep dumping on those damn 16, 17, and 18 year olds. Someone's gotta keep me in line haha.
And regarding Volcom 350Z or whatever the hell his name is.. I jumped to his defense at first but this is looking more and more dim for him each moment. $30k brand new car at 17, and then taking care of maintenance, insurance, etc. in addition to that. Yeah right! I'm 18, make more money than you, and I'm barely willing to buy a $20k-ish 07-08 like I'm about to.
At your stated hourly rate of $15.50 per hour, take home pay is probably about 70% of that, so $10.85/hr take home pay. $30k/10.85= 2,816 hours worked just to pay for the Z. 1408 hours/yr, ~27 hours per week. AND it would have to be more hours than that anyway because you weren't making the $15.50 for the entire time you were working (unless that was your starting rate 2 years ago- not likely), not to mention that I can guarantee you didn't save every penny you earned. Not sure what you were doing at 17 but I was going to school and working a reasonable amount of hours. Math owns you.
God I'm pathetic. Did I really just spend the time doing that?

It really doesnt belong to the bank because in 3 weeks, my next payment the car is fully paid off for. I paid off my 08 350z at 18, I help pay the water + electricity bill, tv/internet bill, my cellphone bill, and the water+ electricity it self is 400 dollars a month that is pretty good accomplishments at 18 years old.

hmm at 18 years old yes it is, I live in a state where unemployment is the biggest numbers here. How much am I suppose to make at 18 years old I am still going to college, and I do not even have my bachelors degree. Do you expect me to make more than 30k at 18 years old? Everyone lets just drop the arguement, if you dont think I didn't pay for my car thats fine, that doesnt prove that you are correct. Why does it make you guys upset if I paid for my car or not. That doesnt impact your lives so stop being such drama queens , and get over it.

And spit on my face, huh? Congratulations on losing every possible ounce of respect that you had hope for on this forum. I'm "waisting" your time? Ah... I see how you made all that money now. You apparently didn't go to English class.

I dont think age matters, about crashes, so what 25 year old + people don't crash like that either? Its so stupid to see a picture like that, and say oh a 17 year old driver should not be driving a Z. I bought my own 08 350z at 17 years old with my own money. I drive my Z like it should be driven, and don't do stupid sh**.
I am sorry no 17 year old is going to live on his own, and for the paid own bills, I do pay all my own bills, and for the good job part while attending high school you are right about that, and paid the full insurance part actually my parents paid that part, but at least at 17 years old I am mature, and responsible enough to purchase something that I really worked hard for.
Hmmm lets see internet, tv, electricity, water, cell phone bill, 350z payment, and soon getting my own place. I don't pay for the mortage at my parents house because its to damn expensive for me :P I am doing pretty good for an 18 year old. I am very responsible and I have been working since 15 years old. So I am sorry to not be part of that stereotype, but I grew up quickly. I hate to see this thread go to an arguement, but I hate when people judge me when they don't know me. I don't judge you, so you should not judge me.
