it is not an exotic indeed, its a japanese sports car, but most people on here take it too far.

i think 13k is good price, nice find.

or

D) You're just throwing a number out there, and have no idea how much insurance is on the car because mommy and daddy are taking care of it for you.

I'm 32 with a clean record and i pay slightly under $100 a month for full coverage with a $500 decuct and standard coverages with a major company. So there's no way at 17 you are paying only $100 a month. So one or all of the above must apply.

i am on my fathers insurance plan but im paying for that and my car. thats what i pay i promis you, and deductables dont matter to me we own a collision/custom center and ive been doing it since i was little. i can do bodywork and paint just as good as anyone else in louisiana so i wont be paying anyone

I dont see it being farfetched at all that he can and did pay for this car and will have no problem driving it.

with that all off my chest, tell girls at your highschool it does 200mph and sleep with them all!
lol i graduated at 16 so thats a no go...going pretty well with the college girls so far though lol..and as for the rice thing everyones sayingm the only thing "rice" that i will have is test pipes and exhaust..i lowered it 2 inches and am gunna put a lip on the front bumper and MAYBE a wing..thats all though

I don't give a $hit if the OP injurs or kills himself driving like an idiot because he "thinks" he know's what he's doing so he's gonan push it to the limit. It's the family that gets killed because of him that bothers me.
to be honest with you i drive it to work(soon to be college) and back and thats all. i race motocross so that kills all the partying and getting drunk and stuff for me so i only drive to work and back..which are all main roads..not like i can drive stupid down those

Test pipes and exhaust AREN'T rice, but a wing definatly is based solely on the fact that you called it a "wing". Enjoy the front lip. After you lower it 2 inches, you won't have it for long!

So people that motocross don't party ever because it's just so time consuming and hectic??

And i ASSURE you, it's possible to drive stupid on ANY road. Especially when you think you've seen and done it all at 17.

Ok Now it's getting annoying you say your thirty something but you talk **** like a 12 year old girl just leave it alone I joined this site to make friends with other z owners not get bashed because I'm young. I think spoiler sounds funny so I call it a wing. And yeah, I'm out of state every weekend racing/riding so I don't go party and drink. An no one said I thought I knew it all. I think someones just jealous because they couldn't have a z when they were still young enough to have sex without Viagra now seriously **** off if you not gunna say something positive

Hey man, I love the color... And about everybody giving u flak, dont sweat it. It's just that it really is slightly annoying when we see youngER ppl (yes, I know im only 21) driving cars that they don't deserve (and this is just an example, in no way am I talking about ur case in particular, because i do not know, so i will not criticize), just because mom and pops got cash, when we had to work, and wait for ours... U seem mature enough (and than some) to understand where we're coming from. This is my 3rd car, and ive had to buy all 3 myself. I never had a car before I joined the USAF because I couldnt afford to buy one myself. And my past 2 ones were nowhere near as nice... And as for the ricer thing, I agree w/ halfass, the exhaust isnt ricey, as long as its done tastefully, dont go getting a fart can that sounds like tossing an empty coffee can down a hallway lol... Good luck w/ the Z man... I just got mine last week so, well see where i take the build . And all u ppl hating, com'n... seriously, wtf? Cut the kid some slack...

Yeah Mike, that Grill has got to go. A tow hook is a great thing to have in place when you are on the track. On the street it means one of two things, pure rice (and not in a good way), or that you expect to break down any moment and might need a tow.

Any pics of the car that show the black roof? I'm kind of curious to see how that looks.

Hey man, not trying to bash or be rude but age does play a factor in driving. Not the skills of driving but the decisions made while driving. A males brain doesnt fully develope until the age of 25. Thats why teenagers think they know everything and make reckless decisions. Like I said im not trying to bash but just be careful. But you do have a really nice car man. I like it alot.

Thanks man it'll be alot nicer when I'm done with it. I agree that alot of 17 year olds make bad decisions but the car won't make a difference. it isn't that fast to be honest with you. I've got 2 vehicles, my other one Is a lifted f250 with 35s on it, with like 7000 in the motor(tt, computer, tranny, injectors, 4 inch exhaust and a whole Lot more). And wether you guys beleive it or not, my truck smokes the 350z. My 350 is stock of corse but everyone is making it seem like a 350z is more prone to wreck then anything else. Cars don't make decesion you do so wether I'm in a 350z or a cavilier my chances of doing something stupid is equal. Now see where I'm comming from

I agree with you there, but I have seen tons of wrecks from teenagers with 240sx's. Lots of them actually were not going fast, just doing stupid things in the wrong places lol. Just make sure you use judgement when you do those stupid things. Not saying you will but it does get the best of us sometimes lol. I realize the Z isnt the fastest thing on the road but its hella fun! Keep up the good work on the car, it looks nice.
