The thing is 350z's are cheap so most of you guys have a standard job and make avg income. Yeah some of you guys are high up and $hit and money is not everything. Some of you guys invest your money. But most of you aren't like that and you're going around calling the young folks dumb and uneducated when hell you probably didn't do that well and your just doing average.
Then your going to say well mommy or daddy didn't buy my car. Well $hit things have changed my Dad bought his first car for $100 back in the day. But a lot kids are fortunate now, and get nice things. Yeah you can argue and say well it's not right and blah blah blah.
At the end of the day this thread will never end.

I think you are going to find life more difficult than you think once you are on your own... let's do a quick example...
Los Angeles Area :: Monthly Costs
Mortgage - $2,500 (Decent House/Condo)
Food - $400 (If you cook your own meals and go out once or twice)
Car Note (30k Z) - $450
Car Insurance - $130
Gas - $200
That totals... $3,680
You will need to make roughly $60k a year (pre tax) just to afford those 5 simple things.
Good luck!

have you broken your wrist? It never heals 100%. I broke mine fapping to farm aniamals. I look shorter because obviously I am not standing tall, since my legs are spread apart wating for armin hammer to fill me. Want a picture with a tape measure? I fit fine into sports cars. I wasn't implying I spent that amount, I was implying that is what they are worth and is the reason nobody believes.
This thread brings out the child in me, what can I say. Now about that girl in the pic. Nevermind, she's a little husky for me

I like my 25lbs of boost and oversized tires 
I will say though I rarely go into boost on the truck as its really not needed for the daily commute.
On the bike I save by never spraying the bottle

I was going to take the time to type it out in more detail but said **** it. I Meant the people who are 40ish and aspire to have a Z are the people who obviously ****ed up somewhere, the people who own it along with other cars, great...
lol great, a pickup truck and a bike.
lasting on this forum or this thread? lmao. Why wouldn't I last? because the grumpy old people can't believe what anybody under the age of 25 has to say?
obviously you guys care about money, since that is all you guys ***** about in this thread. great job.
are you serious? 60k a year is NOTHING! I'm not sure how the cost of living is near you, but where I live, 60k is nothing. That's what custodians make. People here pay 3k on their car payments. lmao if you aspire to make 60k a year, I feel bad for you.
Honestly guys, I'm already bored with this conversation. You couldn't find anything else to ***** about about the car or finances, so you moved on to try and find pictures of me to ***** about what I look like? pathetic. You older gents really need to get a ****ing life.
\
In the meantime, I'll enjoy being a young balling big tough guy. LMAO
jbaker, I don't know why, but I don't see you lasting long on this forum.
As for the 40+ who own Z's remark; Z culture has been around for decades. 40 years to be precise. Some of us grew up wanting Z's because we experienced the Z at an early age.
On that note, I'm going to stand back and watch our older members here work their interwebz magic. We have people here who could be detectives. Proceed gentlemen.

Apparently you don't know your own city very well... and my example shows 5 basic things for the point of this topic. With those costs, you would need to make at least $90k a year to be comfortable with a casual social life. Add a wife and kid (in private school)... $250k a year.
Thank you and good luck!

I would care less to be honest. usually the tools and *******s do well in the corporate world.Quote]
did your grandpappy tell you that? You are too dumb and clueless to become one of those men. I've seen kids like you all the time, living off daddy's and pappy's strength. Enjoy your trust fund lil kid. There is no way your going to be a corporate hotshot, unless it's in pappy's firm. 1 son 
. Now go get me my coffee(BK accent). "I like my sugar with coffee and cream" BB

HOLY ***!! I play some starcraft and this thread blows up!!
It took me 8 years for my undergrad and 4 years for my master's who gives a ****. I'm still higher up than the chick that is fresh out of a tier 1 college with mad internships.
Last time I checked by 26 you would be out of most school and graduate programs....and still driving a kids car?
QUOTE]
LOL when you get 26 lets see what you drive. In complete disregard to what you think is going to happen when you graduate high school or your local community college, companies WILL NOT be throwing money at you to graduate. Business and marketing degrees are saturated to the max.
Let me guess you are business/finance/etc?
We had a joke for those people, ask any engineer on the forum.
Standard job? Please...
You will never be able to do what I do. EVER. Mark my fuking words little man.
Average Income? Let's compare W2's.
All the happiness in the world can't buy you money. Remember that **** you little **** monkey. Because when you are living in your $hit *** apartment, scraping by on what you thought was a mediocre car payment, you will think back to this day and cry.
And I love the taste of tears.

So from what you're saying, people buy $180k cars (considering a 0% interest rate)? And you're driving an FX? You must be one of those 60k a year custodians you talk about...Where I come from, people (and by people, I mean my immediate family) don't waste money financing cars. We save up and buy with cash.
IMO those who have enough money to drop $180k down the drain on a depreciating asset, aren't stupid enough to do so. Wealthy people are wealthy for a reason, they don't **** away their money.
Hahaha I see this kid going down in the near future.
