I work and I do have money. I have a CRX race car which I am building (I bought off this board) and thats were my money goes. I am not argueing the fact that kids make bad desicions but I am emphisizing the fact that just because it was given does not mean it was a bad thing. Many kids do appriciate what they have and a lot of the time get a lot out of it.

I am aware of the tragedy that happend... Needless to say kids make mistakes. As I said before I am not here to argue that. I just would like to have people understand why parents get kids these cars. It is not because we are all spoiled little kids who have their parents doing everything we want. My 350z is something that brings me and my dad together. So I do understand that kids typically are dumb and mess good things up but in reality isnt that what insurance is for. Not meaning to offend or come off wrong but really, as long as the kids dont hurt anyone else (which I know they do sometimes) then why trash every kid that gets a Z. Each one they wreck makes yours worth that much more.

Dont fight it ABL 2 FLY. the sooner you accept the fact that these swollen-balled manly men are better than us because they earned their way to a Z, the better...personally I'm going to go invest the rest of my money in a cheap 9 millimeter to take my own inferior life. natural selection is a b!tch....

I find you very ignorant that you say what you have said. I am only 18 and have purchased everything on my own, obviously excluding the “norm” of what parents are supposed to supply to their children. I started investing at a young age and I still am. And I have made way more then enough to pay off a “Z” and still live a amazing life. Also, just because you grew up, living an average Joe life style (which is not wrong by any means), and only being able to afford your dreams later on in life, Is not the fault of the youth. There are a lot of stupid *** children that are given everything in life. THOSE children are the children you should be targeting. Not the people who have worked for every penny they have earned. Word things better before you start your “rant”.

Why do you say that? Atleast we dont make ******** post. All of my post pertain to the subject and have no negativity intended. By posting up sayin all kids on this forum are worthless just prove the fact that you "old" guys have no life whats so ever. I am 17 and even I have something better to do. Look at your post count.
