I'm not exactly a young-un but you shouldn't paint everyone with the same brush and make sweeping generalisations.

I love this forum but what is essentially age discrimination just sours the whole experience. The older members on here should just try and promote integration as opposed to catalysing the whole situation.

I dunno, its just my opinion. I doubt it'll change anything though.

thank you sir

If people would leave their age out of their posts, we could just rip on them for the stupid things they post - kill stories, BS mods, stupid cop gave me a ticket for "plug in idiot move here" etc etc. Then it would just be moron discrimination, which I don't think violates the TOU.

Just like that.

Also, many young people feel like they deserve to have things handed to them. When they get these things handed to them, they brag and talk with an undeserved feeling of accomplishment.

LOOOL Ritchie why would you post that up?! And here I was coming out of lurking trying to defend you lol. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.....with a double-barrel shotgun.

Lol aside from the questionable fashion sense (no offence mate but you'd get stoned here in the UK lol) I feel Spork raises a good point:
Also, many young people feel like they deserve to have things handed to them. When they get these things handed to them, they brag and talk with an undeserved feeling of accomplishment.
Just a brief glimpse on some of the 350z Youtube videos is testament to this fact. You can actually tell someone's age on this forum by the way they post as opposed to the UK 350z forums where you would only have guessed once they told you.

Whilst I still say that not all young 350z owners should be demonised simply because of their age, the latter members should take heed of the advice, experience and (the supposed) maturity of the older members. Its the only way to ensure cohesion amongst members.

P.S- In future it might help not to pose in front of a massive fire-truck with a joker T-shirt and brown shorts (*shudder*) with shoes that resemble something out of Sesame street Also- just chill. Alas, its jst teh interwebz!!!1!one!

Good god, just read the Mid Life Crisis thread and can't believe it was started by the same fool who started this one! Dude you have a serious S & M problem. Trying to fight fire with fire will get your a$$ handed to you around here. Do us all a favor and start a myTeen350 forum and leave us old guys alone - that way none of us will get offended. Jeesh...

OI!! THere's nothing wrong with a bit of random nailing of ********* to the floorboard. Some of us like to be a bit more adventurous and different.
