All these words of wisdom from a teen that beats the crap out of his moms FX http://www.youtube.com/jebaker1121#p/a/u/1/ihVFlfklzdQ
Does she know you painted the wheels black??
Does she know you painted the wheels black??
Only thing that my car has to do with my Mom is that it's under her name for insurance purposes.That also isn't really beating the crap out of the car, it's using it for what its good for. In this instance, wouldn't you consider tracking a Z beating the crap out of it?
Also, those 20's are powdercoated
If you had any reading comprehension at all you would realize its not about the cost but about people like you who drive recklessly and dont have experience behind the wheel yet of a rwd sports car. I dont want myself or my family killed because some dumb kid cant handle the vehicle they are driving.
And how would you know if I had experience behind the wheel or not? You're just assuming so because I'm 19. Besides driving legally for 3 years I have WAY more experience with motor vehicles...including "RWD sports cars"
if YOU had any reading comprehension you would realize that half of the hate from the older gentlemen is driven by the younger guys who come on here acting like they are the **** becasue they got a <20k sports car with a cult following, with maybe a hint of jealousy.
Back on topic...
Not sure why so many people care that a younger person (specifically here, a 17 year old) has purchased/been given a 350Z. Let's get realistic for a second, it is a $30k (or less) car out the door... it is not a Mercedes S class, Porsche 911, etc... hell some Honda's cost more money. It is okay to be prideful about the car you drive, but projecting ideals about who should drive it is a bit silly. If someone comes on here to brag and set themselves up for a flame fast, that is their fault though.
We all grew up in high school and had the "fortunate" kids that got what they wanted. I remember the guys that got their turbo RX-7s and Supras back the in '90s... I hated them (with extreme jealousy).
Would I buy my son/daughter a 350Z/370Z... absolutely not. I wouldn't even buy them a 1970 Honda Accord... they can earn their own things. Driving is a privilege, and too many people forget that.

I could have bought my own car, because I already had money saved up from working since I was 14, but basically what I could afford at the time = not "safe enough" according to my parents. So yes, I got the car based on "achievement", but unlike most other "fortunate" kids out there, I actually appreciate what I have and don't go everywhere bragging about how awesome I am (though I was an idiot when I first got the car....It WAS the nicest car in the student lot at HS, after all...)
But still, you older guys need to chill the **** out with all the hate, while at the same time all the younger guys need to chill the **** out with thinking that you're the ****.
