If a 15-16 year old kid gets a car that costs $25k and up...they're just lucky and have rich parents...

Hell, I'm 21 and still workin on gettin my Z

They also generally don't fully appreciate it since they didn't have to dish anything out for it and wreck the car within 5 months. Start off on a beater, I mean a real beater, then they can hone their driving skills and fully appreciate a Z when it comes their way.

Not everyone is like that, but it's a general observation I made growing up in a semi-"rich" neighborhood. Nothing like seeing a brand new sports car in someone's driveway one day and coming back on a tow truck the next. :shrug:

Exactly. I have an ex who got a Z for her 16th bday and totalled it without having a license...then a year later wrecked a brand new rx8. she's now almost 19 and her parents won't buy her another car.

But yeah, my first car was a p.o.s. torn to hell 1978 Mercury Zephyr. Like you said, people that start off with a beater really appreciate nicer cars like the 350z, if they can afford them, that is. Some people are just too stupid to actually take care of something that nice....

I built a tree-house when I was young too.

Just busting your ***** man, hope you're proud of your Z! (Don't break it either!)
