Default Is the 350z juvenile?

So I finished grad school and am starting my first real job as a professional. Just wondering if anyone thinks a yellow z can be viewed as a little juvenile or unprofessional? And since I'm going to be making more money, I'm thinking of upgrading to a G37 or maybe even 335i or S5. Anyone feel that way?

That's really personal preference. You should ask yourself two question.

1. Do I want Luxury or just a true sports car?

2. Do i have more than 2 people in my family?

I think I'd rather go with a Z than a G and going for a Z won't make you look juvenille. Its your car.

Your personality should outweigh the perception people have of you because you drive a yellow car. If you have the personality of a slug, you might want to get a different car.

Btw, I like yellow. As I said, its your car and if people don't like it, that's their problem. I think it would be great to have a yellow car.

The fact you have to ask says it all.


Get a BMW or Lexus and call it a day.

Stop thinking of what others think and be your own man. Although the Z has become a tad inexpensive its still a far cry from a civic or a teggy.

Get a 370z, it's much classier IMO. When you get nearer the top of the ladder I think you're obligated to upgrade to something at least $50k

Seriously, how can you drive a yellow z to a professional job, that is sooo rice. Get a bentley. That will shut them up and boost your self confidence.

However.. if you're worried about looking 'juvenile' in a Z.. maybe you should get a black one instead of yellow.

Dont mind some of the comments. I understand what you mean but I also understand some of the replies.

If your worried what a potential boss or business partner might think then ask yourself if its right for you. I dont give a crap what other people think. You shouldnt either! If your a hard worker that should speak for itself!!!! Clothes dont make the man, the man make the man!
