06 Cadillac Escalade (my first car - age 16) winter beater
08 Nissan 350z Enthus (weekend toy)

20 now

 

Lol, Escalade as a beater.

 

I wouldn't consider it a beater if it wasn't for the escalade totaled by a tornado. Over 2000 hail dents, sunroof literally suck out. I don't really find the humor in that...especially me in the vehicle when the storm hit....

 

got pics of your trollmobile?

 

So your "winter beater" has a big *** hole in the ****ing roof?????

 

Why hasn't a moderator banned this guy yet?

 

1982 Mazda b2000 ( most reliable little pickup i actually liked it lol i was the only person who could get it up to freeway speeds)
1989 Toyota supra turbo (had the crankshaft bearing problem currently collecting dust in my back yard)
1993 isuzu trooper ( i would love this car if it didnt guzzle gas)
and by the end of the year a 350 z which will be the first car i will be making payments on all others where paid cash i cant wait!

 

16- 2003 Taurus (family car)
17- 1996 Mustang GT (Auto, split cost with parents).

I'm 21 now, unsure if that qualifies as young/spoiled to have a Z. I paid for my 04.5 touring 100% myself (plus insurance, gas, parking, etc.) I saved my money because I always loved 350s.

I agree with others on this thread that nobody in high school should be simply given an expensive car (although an older Z can be purchased for a moderate cost). I'd be curious to see the rate of totaled Zs (or other sports cars) among high school males.

 

first off, i don't see you going past g12 if you even make it there with grammar like this...

...hence why you work in a grocery store!

second... there's no way you can afford a car with that magnitude of a payment workin minimum wage.

third... only a SUCKER would pay that kind of money for a used car regardless of the mod's being a 350z... would have been smarter buying somethin of more value. Congrats to the guy who sold his whip for more then it was worth.

and lastly, stage 5 twin turbo? neon kit? rear wing? $3500 body kit? $5000 rims.... does any of this s*** have a name other then greddy true dual exhaust? the exhaust is like $1500 and non of your "mods" have a name or brand attached to them, bunch of crap if you ask me... i think you should just......

 

First off, there is no way in heck I would buy/give any teenager a Z or any other kind of a sports car! Knowing what I know now at 38 Yr's old if I would have had a fast car when I was a teen I would not be here today I'm sure. I thought of this the first day I drove my Z home. I am lucky to be here anyhow, cause my 82 & 89 4 cylinder S-10's I had in highschool didn't know they weren't sports cars LOL!

82 - S-10
89 - S-10
94 - Ford Escort Gt
93 - Dodge Dakota Sport
02 - Dodge Dakota Quad Cab SLT 4 Wheel Drive
06 - 350z Base

 

GOT MY Z AT 18 IT IZ MY FERST CAR MY DAD BOUGHT IT FER MI I RACE EVERYONE AND I WIN ALWAYS




lol jk. however it is indeed my first car.
ive been working since i was 16 had some decent amount of money to purchase my own car. Dad said he'd get me a car, my z had a good deal for it so we went for it
(These high school B*****s go crazy for it)
i AM helping him pay for the car with the money that i make at my current job

i also do canvas paintings. sold my very first two weeks ago for 400 hope i make more profit off my art as well

 

congrats on the nice buy and good luck with the art, tough sell but if you can make money and are good at it, it's a good past time especially! for buyin car parts ha... gl

 

Is it wrong if I'm 20 and spending way too much money on car/track things?

The only thing that makes me feel better about it is that I'm going to be graduating college without debt which I think is an accomplishment, hahaha.

 

Let's see some pictures of this.

 

Started driving at 14. Officially at 16. My list starts with

87 RX-7 GXL
89 RX-7 GTU
91 MR-2 Turbo
97 240sx SE
93 SC300
92 MR-2
93 RX-7 R1
98 GS300
98 SC300
00 MR-2 Spyder
93 MR-2
91 MR-2 Turbo
07 Tacoma SR5
07 350z Touring

Now I'm 23 and a proud owner of my Z.

 

A new car every six months? Bad choices or hard to please?

 

I like trying various platforms

 

We all have hobbies we spend too much on. Set aside money for retirement and a small amount for emergencies. Other than that, there's no reason to have tens of thousands of dollars in your checking account. Enjoy yourself.

 

Lol.. i started driving at 14 cause you get your license at 15 but permit at 14 soon as i got my permit my dad bought me my nissan 350z.. for my first car but thats cause i can take care of My things good.

 

That's awesome!
