While I never said you were a donkey of low intelligence, here are once again three reasons why some might think so...

1) Buying a sports car as a student.
2) Street racing.
3) Smoking.

Sure, the first is debatable, the last is a self-inflicted addiction, but the second does bring to mind that equine that needs the short bus.

Why do you want a 350Z? Is it for the looks of the car or the look on people's faces when you park? I bet the people's reaction will be the same as yours when you see the true cost of ownership.

Will it be under your name for insurance? If so expect about 2-300 per month. 1 or 2 racing tickets and now you're at about 500 per month and that's insurance.

Smoking in the car is dumb but it depreciates the car even more. Plus girls hate that smell.

Going to street race the car also. Ever see the aftermath of a Z involved in a street race? It's devastating. Yeah, its fun but you eventually grow up and realise the damage you can cause, tickets rack up, and from modifications your pockets become tight.

Think it all through. BTW I am 22 and an ex street racer so I can definitely relate. My advice is to save whoever is buying the car's money and invest in an RSX.
everyone's downing me on this whole "street race" deal. there are roads in Texas that no one drives on. and i don't plan to go 60 on a 40 road on a busy street. and i've had plenty enough tickets with my maxima, the maxima has quite bit of power for a 4 door sedan. and no i don't want to invest my money into an RSX because my friend has one and i don't like it at all. also he rides his car hard and now it's starting to fall apart slowly.

If you are a basic kind of guy get the Base.
If you like to tour through the hood get the Touring.
If you want to tour in grand style get the Grand Touring.
If you go to the track often get the Track
If you are enthusiastic about the 350Z get the Enthusiast.
