This pertains to the "17 year olds getting Z's" debate...
I'm 18 and I just bought a Z from saved money as well. I'm not one of those dumbasses though that will end up in a tree. I haven't been driving for long and I'm not one of the little punks that try's to act like it. It's a fast car and should be respected. I didnt die from lymphoma so you won't find me killing myself in a street race haha. I plan to attend my local track days and learn how to properly "drive fast" the safe and legal way. EDIT: oh and to the people acting like saving 10k with NO BILLS is something to boast about, you're dumb. Just wait till the real world hits you
Edit: It might.

This thread is one big, "I invested MY money more poorly than YOU!"
If you spend all your cash on something that loses half its value when you leave the lot, you're not cool. You're dumb. Ignorance is bliss, though. Guess that explains why so many people here are so happy about living in a trash can because they bought a car with their very own monies.

I'm 20
I'm about to turn 20 on June 30th, but I had my first car at the age of 18. No help from anyone whatsoever. Started like this.
2012: 2002 Toyota Celica GT
2012: 2004 Toyota Celica GT-S Supercharged @ 12psi
2013: 2003 Nissan 350Z Touring Edition
Payed for by myself and saved the money. Lol. I only make $10 an hour so for those spoiled kids (I know I'm just 20), you shouldn't even feel that you worked so hard for being the son/daughter of parents that enable you to do so. It feels much more rewarding to work hard for something so beautiful such as the Z. I bet that without the support of you parents, you probably would have a cockroach ricer like the civic eg and ek's that roam around the world. Lol, anyways, at least you have a 350z, so I can't really say that. But there's my list. lol.
