This thread honestly makes me hate being 19. The level of immaturity is baffling.
I believe I am doing it right, however. I don't post these obnoxious threads, I search, and I even give input to others about stuff that I had learned from the experiences that I HAVE had. I even know exactly how to take care of my car, upgrade it tastefully, and even learn to control it at the track.
The way we act on this site seems to be more determined by how much we have read and understood, rather than merely age. I have read thousands of threads on here over the past year and I have noticed a big difference with my knowledge, how I choose to post and how I react to the ridiculous replies, compared to a year ago.
At the same time, I have noticed some of the senior members on here having just as much immaturity as the younger batch of Z owners. So this isn't a black and white concept like the OP sees it; there are exceptions to the generalization that all teens are spoiled douches, or that all senior Z owners do it better.. I just hope that all of you other teens out there take my advice to just follow our rules on the forum, don't back talk, etc. Treat this as if you were talking to your elders in person; sit back, shut up, and take in their wisdom.. Just read up on your sh*t and educate yourselves about the Z before posting these bs threads that have been discussed many times before. We may think we know better, but boy are we wrong...

Man, I got my Z when I was 16 and I paid it off myself, yeah I didn't have other bills besides, gas, car, and insurance but this thread really is pointless. At the end of the day no one cares how old you are, the end, /thread

Not gonna lie I read 4 posts on the first page then skipped to here.
My question is why do you care about what other people think? It shouldn't matter to you if people do not like the fact that you have a nice car at a young age. Just brush it off and move on. Life is far too short to worry about what other people think about what kind of car you drive at 16,17,18, or even 45.

oh boy...OP you are the biggest baby back ***** ever! Stop whining, nobody gives a fawk. I cant believe you own a Z...for sure dont deserve it. All the poor african children have no idea what were talking about, but if they saw you in person, they'd know how retarded you are, they'd know...
Do EVERYONE a favour and sell the Z and gtfo out of this forum!
OR, stop being immature, grow up and research research research before posting stupid ****. I could go on some more, but its honestly not even worth it.

Flick, I see that the mantle of grumpy old man is slowly washing over you. Today’s teen is not the same shiftless drone of your youth. By the age of 14 most of the current crop have created about half a dozen lucrative iphone apps, by age 16 they will have built and sold two successful tech companies. Burdened under the weight of awesomeness and savvy most choose to retire at the grand old age of 19. Those who decide to seek further adventures in the workplace will become your new boss.
However, all this accumulation of wealth has not blunted today’s teen’s fine sense of value. The 350Z is and always will be a car with class far beyond its pay grade. Taking advantage of the now aging car’s lower price, 19 year olds are each buying a few. Parking them around the perimeter of the estate, unlocked and with the keys in them, provides something with perceived value for the desperate, unemployed gen x and y’s to steal. This keeps the Lamborghinis and Ferraris, resting in the inner sanctum, save and secure.
I joke, hang on to your Z it will keep you eternally young at heart.

Which is exactly why this thread should have been immediately merged/moved with the 17 year olds with Z's thread.....that one is finally dying out after convincing the young un's that **** wont' fly. I could find 100 posts over there that match almost exactly the posts here. What a waste of bandwidth.......

The plug needs to be pulled on this thread.
Talking about beating the proverbial dead horse...
The major issue here has little to do about owning a Z at 17-19,whatever.
It has to do with responsibilty.Responsibilty of a 17-19 year old TODAY.
When I was,longer than I want to remember,I was married(my ex-wife).
Balancing school(which I never finished)and making a living.I went on
to a successful business career.I dumped the corporate box some years ago to own&operate my own business.Sure,there are some bright 17 somethings that
may be the next Bill Gates.But most don't have a clue on what they want to do
or the dicipline to make things happen ON THEIR OWN.By the posts of many newbies,
opening the hood is a chore and the "labor" to do a search for the answer is beneath
them.Or,they are just to ignorant to do same.
