This pertains to the "17 year olds getting Z's" debate...
What type of stereotyping is this? because im 17 means i have no clue about cars or just want to slap things on it because its "cool", well thats not why i chose to get the car .. It's good that you worked for the car, congrats on getting a Z but you dont get the fact that it IS my car. My families culture might be different then yours but because i dont pay for my car right now dosent mean im a douche or saying i dont deserve the car... you dont know my life and what ive been through in my earlier years before 17 so before you say i dont deserve this car, choose your words carefully.
I don't know what your culture is but if you think your parents can't repo your car, you are not only young but horribly naive.
List is in the order of when I owned them:

I'm a 19 year old Z owner (2nd vehicle) with 1 accident (hitting a DEER). I know how to drive my car and I earn every penny that goes toward my payment and the inflated insurance for it. Am I an accepted member of this forum, or a 'douche' like the ^^^ spoiled 17 year old??

You think you aren't one of the "kids" they are alluding to, so you respond to this thread to defend yourself, or to prove that YOU are different. The moment you responded, you just categorized yourself.
Don't try to prove to me either, I'm a younger Z driver, that doesn't pay for the car, and what all the older guys are saying is absolutely right. If you know you are different than the people they talk about, stop being offended. If you really aren't part of the group they are talking about, then it simply wouldn't offend you, nor would you come on here to prove that you are different than what they speak of.

I hope you realize that by taking offense to this topic, even though it wasn't directed at you personally, is just proving their point. My post is directed to you, but the idea is directed to everyone defending this position, you guys are only proving the point by responding.

heres what i have to say about it, if your young, great, if your not one of the stereotypical teenagers prove it with your knowledge and maturity not by defending the fact your young. if i lesson it to be learned for the younger community its be mature, i for one appreciate that more than you defending your age.

If you pay for your car, regardless of the age or the job, and you don't act like you are better than people who have been driving for decades longer, you're ok. It's people who have 1 or 2 years of driving experience under their belt and think they can race through traffic that gets me. Especially when they are in the car on daddy's dollar.

I understand that the Z has deflated in price.

aaaaaaaahhhhhh cuz we have a lot of 17 year olds that have done that. Not saying that you don't have a Z, but guys on this board have a way of finding out somehow. What makes you a hot driver? I'm open minded. Do you compete in events and how many miles total do you think you have driven in your lifetime?
