I'm 17 and drive a 2006 350z. I pay my own insurance, gas, maintenance, and so far, over $12,000 of the car. It was $15,700 used, so I have $3,700 left to pay off. I understand there is a very strong stereotype against the whole parents buying cars their kids don't deserve, and I have seen my fair share of totaled 2009 and 2010 mustangs and camaros from ignorant high schoolers. My Z is waxed monthly, washed weekly, and overall kept very clean. Car is 99% stock ( Perrin shorty antenna and tint). Also, it doesn't see over 3500 RPM because i'm trying to save as much gas as possible, and you are all right, the last thing this world needs is another kid driving 30+mph over the speed limit on the highway or city streets. I have a year and a half of driving experience, the last thing I am going to be doing is hauling *** around every turn for "thrills". I paid for the car by starting my own detailing business when I was 15, selling golf ***** that I fished out of a pond to golfers on a local golf course, and selling a descent amount of old stuff on Ebay I didn't need. Just thought I'd throw it out there....
as long as what you are saying is true, i personally commend you. At least you are learning the value of certain things and it wasn't just given to you.
And honestly, it doesnt matter that it is a Z in my book. if it's any car with a lot of power and relatively expensive (anything over $2K for a first car under the age of 18) i believe you should have to work for it, and pay for it yourself. it helps to build character to actually accomplish something on your own, and you don't turn into a spoiled brat, who later in life will turn into a spoiled obnoxious ****-ant adult.
