I'm getting around 50,000 and unlike most of you "old folks" think I'm not blowing all if it on a car. And I also have money saved for collage as well. I plan to buy a used one and put the money that I have to into to make it what I want. Then the other 30,000 or what ever Is left will be saved for when I really need it.

 

Fair enough. Keep in mind that that figure is not a "large sum" of money" to us, although I will agree that at 18 I would have thought it was too. Of course at 18 I was in the Navy and have paid all of my own bills since that time. Curious again, how much money have "you" saved for college at not quite 18 years of age? That $30k you are banking wouldn't get you through a state college. But I suppose if you at least are getting what you "want" in a car, at age 18, then that is the least of your present concerns.

 

You might want to learn how to spell college before trying to attend it. I hope you don't really believe the 20k will build you the Z that you want.

 

Aim low, shoot high....

 

I'm actually getting my business liscence and I'm buying a used one and getting a few things that I want then I will build it over time. It's probably by the best idea for an 18 year old to get a 350z put twin turbos exhaust and everything before he learns to really drive the car.

 

^I want your rx-7! An 18 year old getting his trust fund/inheritance should just give me his car. Trues story

 

Not only did you have a hard time with "college", you have a hard time with English.

Love the 350 cars. The same thing goes with c5's, and c5z06's. Guys that saved 50K plus years ago, are now seeing teens buy them for 15-20k. Just a sign of the times.

 

Junior... Stop. You can't spell. You make no sense. Just walk away from the computer. Really.

Go back to the cactus farm. Forget about the Z, this site and just keep digging holes in the ground.

 

Your definition of anger and frustration is seriously skewed. Well, anger for sure, because this is pure fun. Yes, it's frustrating to see the younger generation be so mindless when it comes to financial decisions and even more frustrating to see see idiot parents enabling them.


I'm older than you and don't have any kids, but can recognize stupidity when I see it and love to point it out.

Age does matter in the majority of the cases here. I would like for you to go back and read some of your post before you changed your name. You used to be " not daddy's Z" if I'm not mistaken and you came off as an immature lying brat. A lot of what you say makes some sense now, but it hasn't always been that way. I'm not attacking you, just pointing out that with age people do mature and become wiser.

Remember, you used to be on the other side of this argument getting your doodie hole loosened by Hraes.

I was really hoping that you would come back and say something along the lines of "All I intend to do is an intake and exhaust with minor body modifications", but like most kids you delivered in a colossal manner.

How much do you think it cost to twin turbo a 350Z with all the supporting mods necessary to insure it doesn't blow up in a week. Do you realize how easy it would be to go through the entire 50k once you go FI? Do you have the restraints to stop with the modding once you start, knowing the money is in the bank. Most kids don't. Are you working to continue to replenish the supply of money or will you just decide to have a blast and blow it until it's gone?

I seriously hope your are being sarcastic when you say it's best for an 18 year old to learn to drive in a TT 350Z. I have no problem with a parent teaching a kid to handle a RWD car with some power while supervising them, but for them to have one as a DD. That's begging for disaster.

I would also advise you to learn how to spell license before obtaining one, whether it be business, drivers, etc.

 

There is a huge difference between stupidity and ones own perogative. Just because you think something is stupid, doesn't mean it really is.

It is truly their own perogative as to what they do with their lives. Talking trash and belittling them doesn't really drive an individual to make "wise" decisions. It merely encourages them to do the exact opposite and fuel the fire.

To each their own, but not in this thread lol

 

Yay, I'm glad this thread survived while I was gone!


Younger people usually think things that older people say are wrong and that they aren't stupid. Until they get older. Trust me, I was that younger kid. You don't have a full grasp on reality yet, because you haven't been living reality for a long enough time.

 

And who are you to tell me that I don't have a grasp on reality yet. You know nothing about me. I've been in this world long enough to know what the right thing to do is.

However, perception is key in this thread and it is skewed in both directions.

Younger people still have minds of their own and will choose whatever it is that they want to do.

Whether you think it is right or wrong is your own opinion

 

ayy haha
Started at 18,
1998 Isuzu Rodeo (Still have, Winter Car),
Few months later, 2003 Nissan 350z

 

i think all kids getting thier license should start with a fwd car lol its safer for everyone else like maybe a slow civic or sentra like i did and they are cheap to fix up too.

1)95 civic
2)98 240
3)05 sti
4)05 350

next is a porshe or gtr(my dream cars)if they come down a little

 

So you've been here long enough to never make a wrong decision. Wow, I'm impressed


LOL at your perception bs. Have you bothered reading this thread that you seem to understand so thoroughly? If both sides are so skewed then why does the same side always win?



Do you seriously think I am trying to change anyones mind? I want them to ***** up and continue to act like idiots. pwnage makes the day go by faster



Opinions that are backed up by statistics and experience in life

 

My perception isn't skewed... What are you a youth minister?

You seem to know the difference between right and wrong. And you have an understanding that younger people have these minds that choose correctly.

Just thinking..........Maybe you should teach your wise ways to the youth of the world.

 

Did I say that?

just because you're talking trash to someone to make them feel stupid doesn't mean you win...


being proud about committing pwnage is for teenagers...not grown mature adults.




If you can show me some kind of proof that there are statistics pertaining to a 17 year old buying a 350z I will stand corrected.

 

lol no I'm not a youth minister. And when I say that perception is skewed, I mean that because you did what you think was the right thing when you were 17 doesn't truly mean that its the right thing for everyone else on this planet.

That's not my job, nor is it anyone's here.

 

BTW I won't be on for a few days so have a Merry Christmas and we'll continue this after we get bored with our presents

 

If you can read this thread and call the pwnage of these brats anything but winning, then you have the skewed perception.




No, I'm 32 and still find it to be quite entertaining


Is it really necessary for me to post what happens in so many cases when a kid gets behind the wheel of a sports car?
