Im not gonna get into the argument that i went into in this thread before...but im just wondering...what exact age do u gotta be to own a Z without gettin crap from the older members? Or does it solely depend on how you got the Z in the first place...( parents, paid for/paying for yourself, etc)

No age really. Just don't feed us a load of bull $hit making all these claims on how it is paid for, making investments having your own corporation, etc. Also use the damn search function, we're not hear to answer your every question. And if you get some cheap, tacky "mods" to your car; don't expect us to appreciate it.

I'm 16 and I have my own corporation. I also made a couple investments and now I'm driving an Z.



Just kidding, I'm not 16.
I agree with Hraesvelg, it's very improbably that you could truly be independent of your parents and afford a Z (not just make payments) at age 16-20.

But for some reason, several of the members think making a ~$500 a month payment, and living paycheck to paycheck doing so is something deserving of our respect.

Unless you defend our country in anyway. Not saying that's my case.. That's how many of my friends afford their Z.. I'm 22 and could not get a Z without being on my Dad's insurance because it was through the roof to get it in my name.

my car list at different years, mind u i been pretty much independent since i was 18. always paid every expense i created by myself. including insurance n everything else

2005 at age 18 got a 1992 Oldsmobile achieva for 500 bucks i worked for.
2006 at age 19 got 1998 dodge avenger for 5k i paid off myself.
2007 at age 20 got a 1991 nissan 240sx for 2 k i paid cash, i threw other 5 gran on the car building it.
2008 at age 21 got a 2004 mazda 6 financed for like 12 gran(car was a gift for the wife)
2008 at age 22 got a 2003 350z touring, financed for 16k (gave 2500 cash down)

mind u every car ive owned i had under my name/credit n such. never had a co-signer or anyone buying a car for me or even paying anything for me.

im glad to say i earned every inch of my z with sweat n hard work. oh n i had to convince my wife to let me get it :P

i have no intentions of being a bad *** just cuz i got a z, i have mines stockish but i cherish it for what it is, i've seen so many kids with z driving n treating them like **** that it makes me wanna cry. it really lowers the value of the cars.

One of the problems with young people is that they THINK that they are good drivers. I don't know how anyone can turn a 20 second 1/4 in a Z even if they miss a couple shifts and have a crappy launch.

I guess the problem is SOME young guys talk so much shiet that they are begging to get put down. I don't really care how old anyone is as long as they don't try to lie about things.

I don't know what he had. He came over to the sport street class just to talk smack to me, so I watched him run. He gave the 350Z a bad rep. If he had been in my class I would have arranged to get him to run against. The announcer would have humiliated him by saying "the 17 year old was just demolished by 20 car lengths by a grandfather". They do that kind of thing at Infineon Raceway, so it isn't just here on this site.
You have to put your age on your entry form and they announce it when you run in the eliminations. Lets see..7 seconds difference = 20+ car lengths hahaha

That's partially my case. I'm 22 and at a paygrade of E-6 in the National guard (OCS Candidate).

I've been to BCT at Ft. Jackson. I don't know how wise it would be to be 18-20 (because you'd be at most an E-4) to spend your entire pay check (which is not a lot) on a car.
