strike 1 getting a 350z as being new to the car world
strike 2 not having full coverage
strike 3 driving a car you can not afford to fix out of pocket , when not having full coverage
lesson learned
you should have bought a more economical car that cost $2500 as your 1st car
that way you would only be out $2500

Kids, they think they're hot ****. Little brats don't understand the difference between being able to buy something and being able to afford it. Every teens think just cause they have 7k to dump on a 350 means they can afford it. Who the hell drive a performance car, knowing damn well it's more accident prone, and NOT have full coverage? Performance car+Rwd+ no driving experience+ no full coverage= ******** lol
All these old people talkin crap.
I bought my Z in 2008 with 55k miles on it a month after I graduated high school (18 years old).
I still daily drive my Z in 2014 (24 years old now) and it will be clicking over to 110k on my drive home from work today.
I've been in 1 accident in it because I decided to abide by the traffic laws and stop at a stop sign. The pickup behind me decided I shouldn't have stopped and ran into me. Minor cosmetic damage, didn't wrinkle the fender like the guys above.
Have I driven my car like a jackass? Yes.
Do I have full coverage insurance? Yes.
Did I pay my car off a year early without any of mommy and daddy's help? Yes.
Do I understand the consequences of having fun in my car and not driving like a grandpa? Yes.
Age doesn't have anything to do with it. I know plenty of 25+ year olds that don't know how to drive. It all comes down to the individual.

You can deny it all you want, but the truth is, there IS a reason insurance is more expensive for the younger age group.
Edit: I'm not as old as you think. I was just raised with common sense.

While it DOES boil down to the individual. Age DOES play a factor into things. Wisdom comes from experience. Driving skills can be obtain through 3 ways, practice, driving school, and experience. I doubt many here goes to driving school, or practice defensive driving. So what's left? Experience. Simple as that.

Age is a factor, but it doesn't mean everything.
Instead of being a douche and saying,
It should be reworded to something like, "This is why retards shouldn't drive a Z."
There are plenty of people under 25 who know how to drive/respect their vehicle.
If you think being older makes you a better driver, do my job for a week.
You will soon realize that age/experience doesn't mean squat when it comes down to being able to drive. People are idiots.

First learning how to drive is already hard enough. Add in temptation, mix with power, and that is a recipe for an accident. There's a saying, "driving a car is like fuxking, everyone think they're good at it."
Yeah so thats it for now i guess, and sorry these are the only pics i had of the car and i didnt have time to post more. Anyways thanks for the useful replies and for all the douchebags who assumed i cant drive with no evident ( you werent there to see what happened) please keep your learn to drive comments to yourself, that's not what i posted this to get. Also for the ones that said Zs shouldnt be for anyone under 25 that is just some ******** coming probably from a 26 year old who always wanted a Z but could not get one until now so they concluded that Zs are only for "25 and older". I never understood why there are so many egoistic ***s in these forums
I've had my Z since I was 22 actually.

I've never taken my Z over 80 on public roads. I do go to the track at times.
Yes it doesn't determine everything, but a young kid with no experience, trying to show off (if you deny that teens don't like to show off you're lying to yourself.) in a performance car, that is easy to lose control in, doesn't play a major factor, we have nothing left to talk about. NO teens should EVER have a performance car as a first car. (My opinion)

When I was 8 or so my dad would let me stand in the seat beside him in the pickup and control the wheel while he drove. He always kept his hand close but would completely let go. Then as soon as I was tall enough to see over the dash and reach the pedals he let me drive it on my own. (10 years old ish)
Got my first motorcycle when I was 14. I've had 2 cruisers, 2 sport bikes, about to buy a new bike since my current one has something knocking in the engine from letting someone else ride it..... 2 pickups, an SUV and my Z. I've even driven a semi. I have had my share of experience in an assortment of vehicles. And I'm still under 25 so I shouldn't be able to own the one thing I care about more than anything?
When there are people around it's not the time nor the place.
Just the general statement "nobody under 25 should own a Z" struck a nerve.

I've done plenty of showing off in my day. I used to drift my 4x4 truck all over town. I'm not perfect. Nobody is.

I can't say I've never gone fast on the street but there is a time and a place for everything. Tracks aren't long enough to top out a vehicle unless you're on the salt flats.

I NEVER said that anyone under 25. Shouldn't own a z. I said, a z, or ANY performance car, should NEVER be a first car for ANYONE. Simple as that. Hell even PRO drivers are crashing cars like the z. This is life, shot happens. But a performance car in the hands of a show off teens with no experience increases the chance of an accident.

Not trying to fight or **** people off. Just venting my opinion and got caught up in it.
