Wondering about the age of our Z owners
#1582
I'm a first time Z owner at 35. College Degree and Home owner. Hraesvelg is a hater. Who doesn't want a free Z. Who wasn't head strong and inexperienced at 17. I would give up my Z in a split second to be 17 again and know what I know now. If you are 17 and own a Z you are truly blessed. So my advice is talk big, show off your car to get as many girls as possible. Your only young once.
A) Totaled by me for driving like a tard.
B) Keyed by some douchebag in a rusty 82 Firebird.
C) Stolen by another 17 year old who would have then totaled it.
My 10 year old Prelude was a better option. It was slow and worth about $3k.

When I was a teenager I saw the commercial for the 300Z debut and I have been hooked ever since. I'm sure there are kids out there dreaming about the 370 the way I did the 300. Wheither you earn it or its is a gift, you don't have to dream anymore because it's yours.

Not a left over hippie, though might have done some of the things hippies are famous for. Had a nice little 59 porshe coupe when I got out of college, then the second child came along then the volkwagon then the Volkswagen van--------- family issues --------30 years past, my turn for a fun, fast car. I drive as fast as I can ----whenever possible. I love the Z and those sticky goodyear tires.

My dad drives a school bus for a living. If he could buy me a Z he would. 17 or 35 I would except it with gratitude. When I was 17 I would have talked big s#$t blasted the stereo and drove it like a maniac. At 35 I'm more level headed...either way I would still feel I'm driving one of the badest cars on the road(that I can afford). I normally don't post but after reading a few of yours, I had to say something. We are all lucky here, you own a Z man. Next time you want to spew some hate, remember that feeling you had when you drove off the lot. We all felt that.

I choose to listen to all logic. I will not ignore you. I understand your frustration. You work hard for something and then some people have it handed to them and they don't appreciate the hard work some of us have to put in. A 17yr old owning a Z somehow takes away from what we have accomplished in earning ours. Just remember the car doesn't tell our story. It's an awesome car but I'm a man who stands strong with or without it.

I had just turned 18 when i got mine had a rx8 before that what a mistake. Very glad i have a z now. Also i paid for both with all my own money and i insure. I could have had one at 17 but i didn't cause. Well i don't have a good reason. But i have one now and im sure there are a few other 17 and 18 year old that can afford a 350z. I dont see how it would take away from older people owning them. I worked for mine so i feel i deserve it.

saw 350z in 2003. Fell. In. Love. Vowed to myself to get a degree and Z by my own means. Zoom forward and the keys to a 2004 silverstone Z were handed to me and Z is mine. I've had Z for 4 days and words can't describe the joy. Getting degree at the end of the year in time for X-mas to match the Z.
