If you want to get technical about it, it's in the Bible that breaking the law of the land is a sin.
speed limits are, believe it or not, laws.
Therefore, Speeding = sin, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Bible mentions sin a few times.
Oh man, I about spit my coffee out when I read this. I'm going to keep Mr. Sanders around just for pure entertainment.
Enjoy the boards...

IMO, if a younger guy, like myself, fully deserves and earns his way and paycheck to buy a Z and pay for insurance without parental help, than by all means go buy a Z. IMO, dont flame me for this but, I think some of the older guys who bag on younger guys for having nice things are just jealous. Just my opinion. Although, I agree that you NEED to have thorough driving experience before trying to take on a 300 hp ride.

Not so bad, I payed for mine all through and through, worked hard because I was paying for school (Cash) not loans, and competitively swimming while HS and college too. My first car was when I was near 18, so around 17 and 10 months. Now Im 25. Anyways Dad kepts trucks and took over payments on graphite grey quadcab. Also got a two sweet deals on both trucks, dad worked there, both were new but recalled due to storms so dealers had to sell back to chrysler and then buy back so on paper they were "USED" with less that 20 miles each.

16- 1992 s13 240sx ($4600)
17- 1996 s14 240sx (traded some guy my s13)
20- 2003 Lexus is300 (it was my dad's and he was being nice and gave it to me)
23- 2008 Nissan 350z ($20,000)
I don't necessarily believe every young kid would be immature, I know if at that age I had a 350z, I could have handled it maturely. It's all about how much a person respects their car. Everyone know and then you see a nice kid come along, and they know how to take care of the car. It's a pretty stereotypical topic, all 17 year olds can't drive very well, but some actually can. And I know that, because growing up there was this kid who lived down the street from me, he was 6 years younger then me. and when he turned 16 his parents bought him an rx8. He's had that car for 3 years now, and he's a very responsible kid. and he knows how to handle the car in a mature matter.

Hey guys I just picked this car up yesterday, it is a 2005 Nissan 350z Enthusiast package, it has 65,000 miles on it, 19" rims, bridgestone Potenza tires, gold calipers, adn then alot of other minor add ons like LED lights and stuff like that. So far I really love this car and look forward to alot of great times with it

but it's okay because he started another thread to show us his car again, which is fine, but don't lie..........
no, they are clearly painted stock brakes dude. i think this kid got ripped off and believed everything the guy said who was selling the car.
