General advice for a teen.
#61
I am 17 and I've had my z for about 3 months now and have had no problems or accidents or tickets. Even though some people may not believe me I paid for the car myself, I work alot of hours at a local hardware store and paid for the car, insurance, and gas. People on here who hate against 17 year olds are just mislead by all the stories of spoiled 17 year olds that crash their cars and drive drunk, not everyone is like that
damn dude .. you should call your insurance for a drop in the rate if you haven't had an incident in 3 months
as for whoever said get something else first ... I agree on that for a first car .. I may of bought mine at 18 (months before 19) .. but I went through about 15 beater cars (a couple nice beaters too) until I got a pretty good paying job to buy myself a new car that I didn't have to fix every weekend
and the "I work long hours after school" story every 17 year old is giving that "pays" for their Z .. feel sorry for them b/c theres no way in hell I'd work like that to spend every penny on a 350z .. I feel like i'm spending too much on my Z with it being just under 20% of my income (no minimum wage job here )

Surprised he completely spun out at that speed......I pitched my rear end out the first week at about the same speed(learned that road is just dirty, I drive it daily), but damn could'nt he feel the rear end going and be smart enough to let off the gas.....lol.
He gassed it hard as he came to the turn..Shoulda bought a FWD......lol

Also with race tires, and even good street tires, you can (sometimes) get away with letting the car step out and staying on throttle. When it works, you get better times than the guy who chickens-out and backs off.
When it doesn't work, well you saw the vid.
The point of that video is that the Z can and will bite you if you don't pay attention.

I work every school day from 3-6 and every saturday from 9-7, I make 10 dollars an hour and that makes 250 a week which makes $1,000 a month, I started saving up for a car on my 16th birthday and finally had enough for it this past june because I spent some of the money, I bought the car for $14,900 in cash off of craigslist.

As Arondos said, you will be a cop magnet. I'd get yourself a radar detector. I'm 29 and I look like I'm 22 with my young asian baby face. Had way too many pig cops tailgating me.

ever heard of taxes
as for spending every penny of your hard earned money on a sports car that wont be worth $hit in a few years ... good job
......................................
I make $15 / hour from 8 to 5 every day .. that makes $600 / week .. $2400 / month .. and I started saving up 3 years ago
now I bought a GTR at 18 .. WOOOOOOO ... I dont need taxes, insurance, tires, oil, gas, or anything .. just the car

First of all do not waste any time on half of the people on this forum. There are plenty of helpful people but also just a bunch of others that all they do is jump from thread to thread hating on new Z members. I am 100% sure that you will appreciate your car a lot more than most of them that got there Z given to them and have it just to say “I drive a Z” They have no passion and are usually a bunch of ricers rolling on 20 inch chrome spinners. Enjoy the car dude and welcome.

okay man you win, sick, you have a nicer car then a 17 year old who works at a local hardware store after school to be able to afford the car of his dreams.

And lets say that was my dream, who the **** are you to tell me what I should want, if my dream car is a 91 ford taurus then thats my dream car and its none of your business. **** off bro, your a waste of time
