Im in the favor of a young man having a sports car if he respects it and can afford it. I mean what other time in your life will it be better to own a 2 seater sports car? Young with no obligations so why would you need a 4 door car anyways... to haul your friends around? Anyways like I said if you can afford it I think you should do it but it looks like your insurance is bending you over backwards and I agree with others here that you should not hamper yourself with that kind of bill. There are plenty of other sports car options out there that wont kill you im sure of it.

It's obvious he cannot.

NOT a 370z obviously, but a sports car? HELL yes he can, like I said in my original post there are plenty of options!

I'll share my experience as a very young Z owner:

Got my 2006 350z when I was 17 (Haters gonna hate...) I got very good financing if anyone was wondering how that happened.

I was a college student who had a stanky job as a janitor, and between books and gas, and all the other stupid stuff you buy as a brand new adult, I quickly ran out of money. Insurance was cheap though, because I only had liability insurance. (I still do to this day, because now the car is worth pretty much nothing now lol)

During my second semester of college, I realized the lifestyle I was living was not sustainable, and decided to join the Navy. The job I got was hard and paid well, so I found myself able to purchase a 2015 Nismo at the age of 22. I kept my old car to keep the miles off.

If mods are your thing, you better have the money. I just purchased my first mod for my 350z a few months ago.

Long story short, as a very young Z owner I ran out of money and had to make some major life changes to keep my car (among other things). If the car had been wrecked, or if the csc (in your case, with a 370z) went out, I would have been totally screwed. After over 6 years of ownership however, the 350z has never broken down. Only two flat tires. I feel very fortunate to have had things turn out the way that they have. Best of luck to you.
