This pertains to the "17 year olds getting Z's" debate...

Haha no biggie. This thread is relatively worthless and serves as a place for people to just be mean to each other for no particular reason.
If only them meddling kids weren't so gosh darn cocky...
All joking aside, I enjoy seeing some of the car history of the more senior members. Sometimes I wish I grew up in the 240z era. What a time that must have been...

My dad bought his first car in 1958, a 56 Plymouth Fury :P I love to hear about the cars he's had over the years.
wouldn't it have been? Its relieving to see how many others started with 5th gen civics though lol

I loved my '97 honda accord. She'll always be my first love, that's just how first cars are. We had a good 6 year run together. I intend to keep my Z till it's either being sent to the scrap yard or handed down to my son. It surely won't be his first car, however...

wow this thread is huge. Why doesnt this forum have a limit on post count?
Anyway I will admit to being spoiled. My parents are well off and when i turned 16 I got a
Used 2002 Base Auto RSX.
I just traded in the rsx a month ago for a
Used 2005 Touring MT 350z.
I did financing without a co-signer and I am proudly making the payments myself. Since I never paid for the rsx i never felt like it was really mine.

I got my Z when i was 17 as a Graduation/Birthday/ Eagle Scout achievement gift.. Im 22 now and its in very good condition I have had tikkets but ive had to pay em off myself. idk what the big deal is lol

^ The big deal is a lot of older guys paid 30k for a car that is now worth as low as 9k. Teens are buying them up for cheap, and for that they are bitter.

I have only been here a short time, but this is my take. You see the thread where the 17 year old gets a Z. Fast forward 2 weeks, to when he drifted into a telephone pole, ruining a car that is somewhat popular on this website. I would probably not be here today if the car I had at 17(VW Beetle, less than 100 HP) had as much power as my Z, and I doubt that I am the only person who would say that.
I would not allow my 17 year old child to own one of these cars. Certainly not as a first car.

On the other hand you see people like me who get one at 17 as their first car but has been driving since he he was 15. I have had an obsession and passion for cars since i was 2 before I got the Z like a month before I was begging for just any car, i remember there was a guy selling a 1986 camaro in ehh condition for 2000 and me begging my parents to let me borrow the money and that I would pay them back. I guess they trusted me and my judgement enough to reward my achievements and birthday and going off to college etc etc with a car that I wanted. Im glad they did and i dont think I let them down.
