What? Im 23 and I get respect. Im sure JEKL could tell you that. I dont go around the forum bragging about things I own. The way you are treated reflects on how you act here NOT your age.

You drive a 350Z, a G35, and a 280ZX too? Cool.

A lot of kids try to claim things are theirs when it isnt. If you DID pay for it congratulations. But the thing is a lot dig themselves into a hole trying to act like they are living on their own at that age. Also maybe you did buy it but its also other little thins such as driving like a moron. If you post up saying you race and all you will get bashed.

When I was 17 I was stupid I'll be the first to admit it. I asked my dad for a 00 Trans Am WS6 and he told me HELL NO that I wasnt experienced and mature enough to handle a car like that. He was damn right. If I got that car I would be dead. Once you get older you will realize I am sure of it. After seeing people dieing around me from driving too fast I got the point.

that i agreed on... when i turned 16 and got my driver license i wanted a tt supra really bad, but i end up getting my older brother 05 c55 amg, in that car i did almost all the stupidest things i could have done. i crash twice, run over a stop sign and so on... My z i take car of. i work hard to get it, and at 19 i do live on my own as i posted before i pay for half the rent and my parents pay for the other half. Every body have different lives and opportunities maybe some of us have it easier docent mean we don't work for them.

During the baseball season I talked to Legacy almost everyday a few times a night and I had NO clue if he was 23 or 53. As he said, he acts like a normal guy so it never even crossed my mind. That's why he gets respect.

Technically two. The one I drive (maybe 3 times a year) is an '82. I bought it about 10 years ago when I first got married because we were trying to buy a house and I wanted to be debt free. So I bought it with the equity I had in the new Accord I was driving. Just never wanted to get rid of it.

yeah maybe your right, but how i'm i supposed to know that? anyway i still think that the more experience drivers and z owners should be easier on the kids. here everybody is an enthusiast about z's. So we all were teens once, we all liked to show off and talk bs. just let them be and concentrate on what matters. and if they are serious about their z and want to learn just help out, give them a chance before flaming them down...

My parents bought me 4 "sports cars" before I graduated high school. A brand new Eclipse, a 280ZX, a RX-7 and another 280ZX. I totalled the first two and wrecked the 3rd.

They wanted to be the cool parents and give me everything (and I thank God that I have them) but in the end it didn't do me a damn bit of good. I didn't respect what I had and my driving behavior reflected my lack of respect.

So if I get on a kid for being stupid it's because I was once that way too and I wish someone had dropped a little reality on me when I was younger.

Correcting grammar is very common here. People dont ALWAYS do it to be a dick. I'll be a smart *** and correct people at times who I'm cool with.

but see you had your chance. some people just have to learn the hard way. Not to brag about anything but my dad has money, he still didn't give me the car i wanted, if i ever totaled the benz, they would have bought me a 1k car and make me work at McDonals.
