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....

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