Well to start I'm 17. 
1st car-1992 toyota camry
bought at 14, cheap and slow
2nd car-1993 Nissan 300zx
bought at 16, still love it, but sadly I need to sell it
3rd car- will be a 2003 or 2004 350z
once the 300 sells
I have payed for all of my vehicle expenses since my first car. I pay for insurance, gas, car payment, maintenance, registration, and all other expenses of mine outside of food at home and rent. I may not have worked my way up the vehicle food chain as many have, but I work and pay for what I like while still doing great in school (college, not high school). I don't see why I should not get a 350z, I haven't had any tickets or accidents and I'm paying for it. I don't think age matters all that much, the driver is what matters. Responsibility of the driver is what should truely matter.
And I can't wait to get the 350z

old people are just pissed that us hard working teens can afford to get what they get during their mid-life crisis.

Slow down and drive responsibly. Remember, the life you save my be mine.
This is what a teen driver did to my Z.
Well to start off I'm 22
Got a 1984 Toyota Cressida at 16
Than I got a 2004 Accord at the age of 17
And finally at 21 got my 2004 350Z, I agree with the above that young teens need to learn how to drive. I have been rear ended twice in my Z, both by two freakin 16-17 year olds, and both cars were Ford escorts, thats why I hate Fords.
The next car I'll probably pick up is a 2010 Camaro with a LS V8, but I'm still keeping the Z. Anyone have any advice on juggling two sports cars?

Huh??? Fords had nothing to do why you were rear ended.

I hate chevy's because I rolled my camaro. Bald tires + rain + cruise control = certain unfortunate turn of events. But I decided to add Bald tires + rain + cruise control + Chevy Camaro = Certain unfortunate turn of events!!!!!!!

Just seems like every time a young kid posts on here they have to plug in that "It's paid for all by myself" like it's some huge accomplishment, when in reality that's all they pay for. If my mortgage, water, gas, electricity, insurance, student loans, food, cable, internet, phone, cell phone... etc were all paid for I'd have a different Z for every day of the week.
