Just in the past week I've seen two teenagers driving 07/08 Z's in my area. One of them had "Drift King" written in HUGE letters on the side of the car. Sadly, I think we'll be seeing more and more of this.

I have to admit though the selling price of a brand new 2008 Z has come down so much that you can find base and enthusiast models for $19500-22000. It costs only a little bit more than a Honda Civic. I can see a situation where parents are willing to buy their kids a Z because it's not that much more expensive than a Honda Civic.

However, if they are that cheap wouldn't you agree that it's totally possible that someone that just got their DL could be in a VQ35HR Z?
But they shouldn't come onto these forums and try to convince us that they can actually afford the Z unless they are an emancipated child.

I havent read the rest of this thread but i dont see the problem buying a Z when your young. its not the best financial decision but alot of other things arent either. I know alot of people buying new civics, trucks, etc for around 20k so its hardly more than that, yet people dont usually say anything about that.
I just turned 18 when i bought my Z. I bought and resold 6 cars and worked 5 days a week to save up a 12k down payment. I now work at a restaurant and my car payment + insurance is 25% of my monthly income. I think if your responsible and have a steady job then age shouldnt be a big factor.

Yes I do live at home, because the college I go to is 2 miles away. Im always at either school or work anyway so i see no reason to get my own place. Im pretty happy living at home. Im not pooled in with my parents, i have my own policy. I also pay for my own food and everything I own. Assume what you want i guess...

I found this thread by searching for how Spork contributes to this forum, looks like i found out. Anyway, I hope the true "Adults" of this forum realize that this isn't a social forum it's a car enthusiast forum. End thread unless you want a continuation of harassment, insult, and bias against roughly half of the members in this forum. Which isn't many, because you're making everybody leave with this constant slew of ********.

And you Spork, as if you haven't advertised your ignorance enough, obviously aren't aware of any other home setting but yours. Venture off the pc for a half hour and get a grasp on other peoples lives and what matters before you hit 20,000 posts by next Friday.
