It gets old seeing the same old bull$hit spewing from the mouths of every new teen on here.
Good job serving. I tried out for Navy Nuke when I was 24 but got turned down because of my feet. So at least I tried to get in, does that give me the right to b!tch?

I'm going to ZdayZ this year. If some kid acts stupid I'll probably let him know.
They just better not be any teens trying to drink my beer.

That evil elixir is my bane, from which I must refrain.
However, if I am ever down your way I will allow you to buy me a Cheerwine.
My allowed vice – Cheerwine, the Nectar of the Carolinas.
I leave you with this:
Sonnet de l'Absinthe
Absinthe, O my lively liquor,
It seems, when I drink you
I inhale the young forest's soul
During the beautiful green season.
Your perfume disconcerts me
And in your opalescence
I see the full heavens of yore,
As through an open gate.
What matter, O refuge of the damned,
That you a vain paradise be,
If you appease my need;
And if, before I enter the gate,
You make me put up with life,
By accustoming me to death.

Well, I turned 20 today.(technically not a teen anymore----haha suckers!----just a joke, don't take that too seriously...but i did buy the car as a teen) Been a proud owner of a 2004 Z for about 8 months.
I got a 1994 Toyota Camry when i was 17---died 2005. Bought a 1994 Honda Accord EX-Sold after high school, financed 9k on a Z after 1 year in college and paid out the rest(12k). I worked all during high school and summers. Thanks to not having to pay for rent/food/ etc, I could save the money. (Thanks mom and dad). I wanted a 300zx but insurance costs didn't permit it while in school and thought i should save my money for a little better, more reliable car that is a bit newer. I got bunch of lucky breaks for summer jobs. Kayaking outfitters are great to work for, and you earn a lot....but you work hard. Worked in retail in high school, saved every bit. Worked on helicopters(radio control), earned the service money on the side.
Parent's said they couldn't do much more than 5k for a car(needed a newer car to take to school and was looking at buying a newer car in the first place), so I took on the challenge. I pay the difference(4k of 9) to buy my dream car.I pay the difference in insurance costs and running costs of a Z compared to the accord. I didn't want to pay for the car fully, seeing as something might happen where i need a little of that extra savings I have. I was also looking at establishing a credit for paying back an auto loan.
If you want to save a bit on insurance, take a defensive driving course, get good grades(if applicable-students*) and don't do stupid **** like 120mph on big public highways...there are tracks for that kind of stuff.
Autocross gets all that fast out of my system. I enjoy keeping the car clean and maintained. All the little things are just fun.
I understand your dislike for these kids who were just given cars and don't appreciate their Z's. But for those who did put a little work into accomplishing this feat of purchasing a Z, give a little respect. I totally understand that most people are in a situation that I am in. I just enjoy driving and everything about the Z33. Getting in the Z after a long day just slaps a big grin across my face. That is why I will financially put myself in situation where a owe a little on a car, but what a car. If any of you were in the same position, I think you would do the same. If not, call me crazy..(has happened before).
And yes, I have a girlfriend(to keep me grounded in reality) and am full time university student, working. It's a lot of work, for a lot of fun. So I am not spending my entire life working to keep the Z and just the Z.
I say this because I hear a lot of the, why don't you get a girlfriend, you have to much time...
In the end, I love the Z and the community that supports them. To those of you who think this is just a big "justification" of my Z, It is. I just happened to be lucky. It's like people who have grave dislike for lottery winners.....they are just lucky-- why let that affect my life, big deal.
Congrats to all of you who have put forth the effort into purchasing your Z's. We are all bit lucky to even have one. Let us all just get along.....
