1954 small town in Arkansas. 16 years old. Guy ran over my 125CC Harley and pretty much totaled it. Used the money he gave me to buy a 1948 Nash. Too many cars since then to remember them all. Two weeks ago stopped by the Nissan dealer, spotted a new Solar Orange Touring Z, wrote em a check and drove it home. Getting a little old now but still enjoy a fast car. If I check out tomorrow it will be with a big assed on my face.

bought them all myself

 

You get a gold star.

 

Get them bought for you, you suck- buy them yourself, good for you.

The point of this topic is what you've had. Keep it that way squirrel.

 

I say let 17 year olds drive Z's G's or whatever the hell else they want! As long as they are mature about it and dont drive like a honduh driver....

 

Actually the topic is: "This pertains to the "17 year olds getting Z's debate"

 

here goes.....

1980 MITSUBISHI Galant Sigma 4spd manual (1st car)
1990 MITSUBISHI L300 Versa Van 5spd manual (15-seater)
1992 MITSUBISHI L200 Delica Van 4spd automatic (8-seater)
1995 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR-4 6spd manual (weekend car)
1996 HONDA Civic LX 5spd manual (daily driver)
2000 FORD Focus RS 6spd manual (imported; daily driver)
2004 SUBARU WRX STi 6spd manual (while working for Mitsu as my daily driver )
2003 MITSUBISHI Lancer Evolution VIIIGSR 5spd manual (finally )
2005 MITSUBISHI Lancer Evolution VIIIMR 6spd manual (miss & loved this one )
2007 NISSAN NISMO 350Z 6spd manual (always wanted the track model, but after learning that this model was headed to our shores, had to wait and i assure you, this one is much better, imo )

 

Latoya the Toyota : manure brown 1985 Toyota Camry (it was actually three shades of manure brown, plus: windows didn't work, neither did the door locks, leaked exhaust inside the car, and it was only a year younger than I was. Its a miracle I'm still alive...), i totaled it in a fender bender (5mph crash, it was too old to bother fixing)

Candy the Camry : 1992 Camry- POS with V6 power. went through FOUR auto transmissions bc the frame of the car was so shot. Luckily the dealer was a close friend and covered all repairs and decided to buy back that car for what I bought it for

Nina the Nissan:1997 200SX SE, my first stick (but I've always known how to drive), fun toy especially with all the suspension mods, still gets 34mpg!!!, low maintanance, but 10years old and 143K on the odo, its time for an upgrade

either an 2006 Z or G sedan... we'll find out soon.

It amazes me what some of these kids are getting themselves into, my dad is a doctor, and offers to buy me a car but I wasn't raised that way, and I refuse to let him. All cars were bought by me (same case will be with the next car), except for the first Camry in which we all shared. I've got friends who are 17 with two two premium cars (one friend had an E46 M3 and an 06 G35 Coupe simultaneously!!! and another had a C5 Vette and a Lexus RX330 simultaneously!!!) Let me tell you, it's a lot sweeter when you've earned it...
