I just today sold my oldest daughters 1995 Honda that got her from age 16 almost through college - got her where she needed to go and she got her first ticket just this past summer - 31 in a residential 25. No wrecks, no drama, no complaints from her or me. And she gets to keep the $700. to each their own, but no way in hell would my 16-17 year old be driving a car like the Z. A ZR is in her sights once she gets a real job....fruit did not fall too far from the tree, lol.

I have to admit if I went back, I'd probably keep my civic. No hassles. No worries. No stress in wintertime. And I would be 10K more wealthy. My parents warned me. Oh well, I got through it and I love my car. Will pay off at the end of this month. Learned my lesson. Its a good thing she hasnt had accidents, im trying to keep the same way by not being an idiot.

Nothing if you can admit it, rather than saying, "I'm completely independent and don't take handouts."

I got laid when I had my 88 Plymouth Voyager. If you need a car to get attention... I'm sorry.

OK lets be for real. Yes more and more people are getting 350z older and younger. All of us who know about the Z, know that they don't really make that much power(I almost shed a tear when i seen my stock dyno sheet) The way i look at if they worked hard or it was given to them. It will all sort out in the end. The ones who deserve the car will not tear it up and the ones that don't will just throw there money away. But if you think people get on the sight to have fellowship and all a lot of people do is tear people down! How about trying to build them up so they don't do nothing crazy. We was all young at one point in out life and I know a lot of you including myself when you got told not to do something, you when and did it anyway! So stop treating people like they are less cuz of they year they was born.( somethings cant be changed) A the end of the day we all have the same passion about this car

Cheap 20's and Lambo doors on a 17 year old's car. I can't say I was surprised.

He would make fun of people's cars that don't like the lambo doors on his car, however none of the people who make fun of his lambo doors own vehicles.

Every time I believe it is not possible for anyone to be any.............nevermind, you are correct. I don't have a car. I borrow the family moped that I am patiently waiting until it is passed down to me. I make it a habit to race every 350Z I come across in it. My only hope is that the driver is a 17 year old that will run into a tree or telephone pole and then I can go by them honking my custom Dukes of Hazzard horn.

If I had a 350Z, I would not use the doors either. I would take a Sawzall and make my own custom sunroof that I could crawl in and out of.
