Pops put you out to live on your own at 16? j/k That was a hella business you had at 12 though - pretty cool. I had a paper route - made about $50 a month and thought I was livin large, lol. Of course that was in 1968 dollars. At 16 I was making $2.30/hour when minimum wage was $1.60 - again, livin large. At 18 joined the Navy and worked for slave wages for 4 years - low overhead though so still, livin large.

Don't you think you might be a little stubborn too? You're stuck on the 350z being a ******* death machine for people under the age of 30.

Its the same small handful of people in this thread that continue to attack those who think otherwise.

I've been pretty mature about my posts, yet you chose to say something to try and put me beneath your intelligence.
You stubbornly refuse to hear what I am saying.

I say, "The Z is less safe for a new driver than a FWD car."

You say, "The Z is NOT an F1 car with boudica spikes."

The point I am making is that a Z is not a good car for a 16 year old driver who doesn't know what they're doing. Your point seems to be to just disagree with me. It's tiring.

EDIT: I never once tried to put you beneath my intelligence. If you happen to fall in that category, feel free to shake hands with the other 99% of society you're wallowing with! Muwhahaha!

j/k?

You nailed it. I still can't figure out why a 29 year old is arguing the point that a kid with little driving experience should be driving a sports car.

I say we give all children 1000rwhp cars.

Easy way of weeding out the stupid ones. Let death be their punishment. I couldn't give a f*ck less.

It's called being ignored. Were you ignored as a child?

I'm disagreeing with you because no two people are alike in this world. Some learn faster and better than others. period.

I learned how to drive with a '96 Camaro SS. I was afraid of the power it had so I was cautious with driving it. Some would have probably said I was more dangerous because I wasn't driving as aggressive or as fast as the rest of them.

Once again its preference, and the ability for one to control themselves and pay attention.

I'll just copy and paste:

Can't wait for the videos. Awesome cars out there, and friendly competetion. Got to see some old track guys, SW was out there in his Vette, the WRX was awesome to watch around the cones, and the ACR viper sounded awesome. Mullets TT GT is awesome. They even let me make a few passes after the event.

The event staff was friendly and had good bbq for us to eat. Hopefully, I get to run the next time they do one of these. Good job to D98gt and Val.

Oh I'm sure I did. The inappropriate touching was another matter, however.
