I guess I should update this

2008 BMW M3
2003 Fairlady z33
1995 toyota camry (deceased)
1999 toyota camry le (replacement after I crashed my last one)
And I'm trying to get a 2008 Porshe 911 carrera
Bought it all with money I saved up from when I used to be in the italian maf......italian restaurant business....Parents couldn't pay for my cars because they didn't like that I was in the restaurant business so they wanted nothing to do with me.

That is such an un-American thing to say!

Not everyone wants a house, it's just something that everyone thinks they must have for the silly lie of the American dream. If you have a house your kind of trapped to that particular location until you sell it. Some people like to move around a lot or like living life on the road like a renegade for full true freedom. No loans, no mortgage, no property taxes, no upkeep bills like water heat, electricity etc.

I'm 26 and just got my first Z a few weeks ago.
Before this I owned
1990 thunderchicken
1998 cavalier
1990 dodge Daytona
1978 Camaro z28
1987 Shelby Dodge Charger
1994 trams am
2001 frontier (traded for 350)
2006 350z

Looking back, that's more cars then I realized I've owned.

Hate how the younger aged Z drivers have to take so much **** from people just because their young. Yes, I understand where people are coming from and yes I understand that some just have rich parents and are stuck up. But there are some that may be just good kids understand how much it means to get a Z for a second or even first car. Also just because there young doesn't mean they don't know **** about cars and have a crappy mod list.

Yeah I'm a young Z owner but that doesn't me I'll be drawing flames on the side of my car and get trash can rims just because there shiny...

True, but people cannot afford to pull 100+K out of their third point of contact. Being military, I don't own a house because I move to often. After I retire though, I do plan to buy a house. I would like to drop at least 50k as a down payment, but realistically I will probably finance around 200k.

Point being: America lives on credit. It helps to have it. It really helps to have good credit.

im 20yrs old. I have been working since I turned 16. Over the course of 4 years I was able to save well over 15k. Before having the Z, I drove a beat up 1991 civic dx which was given as a graduation present. I finally found a good deal on a 04 Touring Z. Got it from an elderly fellow for 10k. the car only has 44k on it and is mint. I earned my Z and take pride in it.

You have it good, you get to travel everywhere If I were you I would get a place outside of the US like maybe Italy or the virgin islands or something when you retire, forget living here.
