OK? What you just said meshed with what I said though - you didnt have the Z as your very first car. Whether you had it for 2 months or not is negligible...

Both of my parents drive standard also, my dad moreso however. My mom has a 69 Camaro. My first car was a standard (1989 Geo Spectrum, before you call me a hypocrite). What are you getting at? lol

ALL Im saying, is buying a Z as your first car (at 17 no less, when you're still quite young enough to be dumb and inexperienced) isn't a very wise choice. Could the parents be giving their car to some kid they know is going to drive like grandma? Possibly. Could they also just be tossing the keys over to their child simply because they are loaded? Sure. We don't and probably wont know the answer to each - I'm just pointing out that if I were going to give the keys to that car after I bought it for him, I'd stick him in a drivers ed class that was more than just learning how to parallel park and recognizing street signs.

Incase Im not making it obvious enough: congratulations on the awesome car as a kid, but holy crap, be humble and understand that there is MUCH to learn before hooning around in it.
