This pertains to the "17 year olds getting Z's" debate...
Im actually 18 and i will admit my parents bought me a Z and i don't know what its like to earn up to a car like this and have respect for those who did. In my situation, when i was 15 my
grandmother pasted away and gave me her 1996 honda accord and i was grateful for that because i had my license and, now a car. The problem with the car was some failure in the
battery and other problems that would cause the car to just stop. It was very useful for around town but it wasn't enough for long distances. Then when it was around that time for
me going to college my parents knew i needed a reliable car. My friend showed me the Z and i just fell in love with it. My parents made a deal with me( and i'm an athlete who was able
to get 1/3 scholarship as a freshman for college) and the deal was, if i kept my scholarship (and with improvement it would go up) they would buy me the car. Right before my senor year
was about to end my parents bought me the Z. I was happy and couldn't be more grateful of my parents. to this day i still thank them and appreciate them for what they did. I take care
of my Z every weekend spending time with it when i have the chance. So really im not some spoiled kid with rich parents who doesn't know what its like to earn up to a nice car, but just a
lucky kid with such loving parents and respect for them. I just think that its not a big deal for those who are fortunate enough to get a car like this when they are young if they understand
the meaning behind it. Unless you are that one douche who has rich parents and bought you the car to make you shut up, then that's where i draw the line at.
Sorry for the long post, i just wanted to get my point across

Yeah? Well I got a full-ride scholarship to a 44k-ish school, my parents still didn't buy me a Z, I had to use my own life savings for it!
Haha just kidding. Didn't do anything to get my scholarship besides taking an oath to defend the Constitution and doing well in school.
