This pertains to the "17 year olds getting Z's" debate...
1993 Honda Civic EX (graduation present)
1999 Mazda Miata (paid for by me)
2001 Porsche Boxster S (paid for by me)
2001 BMW 330Ci (paid for by me)
2002 BMW X5 3.0 (paid for by me)
2005 Nissan 350Z (paid for by me)
Traded the Boxster S for a 330Ci b/c the 6spd just wasn't happening in the
D.C. metro area traffic. Loved driving it though. Had one of the first combo
of Lapis Blue with Graphite Grey soft top. Most memorable moment had to
be when i pulled into outback steakhouse with my dad in the other seat to
pickup a take out order and the server came outside and said the people
inside were going crazy over the car and asked how much it cost. my dad
and I both laughed. have to say though, porsche offers some crazy options
for their vehicles... down to the seatbelt color.

1967 El Camino (for 1 mos. until my brother in-law got creamed in it) he was fine
1977 Dodge Charger (the one like the Chrystler Cordoba) pimp ride at 16
- sold it in college for $700 because I couldn't afford the insurance and gas.
1988 Pontiac Grand Am - College graduation gift in 1990 from Mom.
- sold it 2 years later in Med. School b/c I couldn't afford repairs
TOOK THE BUS FOR 2 YEARS!!!!!
1988 Toyota 4x4 single cab. I bought it in 1995 with 85k miles for $8k

Moving up the food chain I suppose, but I earned it. I don't think it's bad to get one gifted but those that work for it appreciate it more IMO.
