ask yourself, does bashing some kid for owning a z make you any more of a person, or does it just show how insecure you really are.

love what you drive and quite crying over kids who are fortunate
extreamly smart man right there.

Want to know why I don’t like ‘kids’ having a 350Z ‘given’ to them or them ‘buying it’ themselves”??

Let me help you out here with the math, Tex…
  • Kids = inexperienced and/or immature drivers
  • Inexperienced and/or immature drivers = accidents
  • Accidents = higher insurance rate for all of us
  • Accidents = death and/or injuries
  • Death and/or injuries = innocent victims
  • Innocent victims = my loved ones or ME
And just for the record; I’ve already had MY Z hit by a ‘kid’ in a Dodge Neon SRT-4. Yeah, he thought his car was pretty ‘sick’ until it was sitting in the middle of the road with the grill jammed into his radiator and it’s fluids spewing out.

Okay, so he wasn’t driving a Z. But the results were the same, kids and performance cars don’t mix.

So, sure, I’m a little prejudiced. Fine, I just pray the next dumb kid doesn’t hit YOU.

And, FYI, the little gift he gave me below cost my insurance company $14,000…

I'm more afraid of the d bags in lifted trucks and beaters that don't give a $hit about anyone else and think they own the road. At least when I drive my Z, I care a whole lot for the car and other people. Makes me just shake my head when I see some ******* zoom by me weaving in traffic. I love my car too much to even risk it. It just isn't worth it.

c'monnnnnn

srsly?

c'monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

your missing the whole point of why people b**** about kids getting cars like Zs or whatever.

you want a kid to appreciate things and be more responsible, make them EARN things instead of having everything GIVEN to them. Trust me, the world would be a better place if that was the case.

See when every d bag kid over here has one, it just looses its appeal. I strongly dislike lifted trucks for that reason. Though a 46 year old, I am sure you are no d bag thinking they can do whatever they want on the road.

It's truck country in PA , I didn't see as many when I lived in OH, and I didn't even like trucks when I was younger, you have to be responsible in whatever
you drive or pay the conseqences,I find that I drive a lot more agressive in the Z than our Miata or the truck,maybe because the miata and the truck are fairly slow when compared to the Z?, Craig
