You have to have tough skin around here, about half of the people on this forum already have a opinion in their heads so no matter what you post it does not really matter.

I was pretty nervous that I'd be the only one under 50, and I'd be surrounded by a group of old guys with fanny packs and leather driving gloves.

I too, have experienced the pit toilet scene in Asia.
I was also given a car when I reached driving age. It was a used 1978 Dodge Diplomat.
I'm 40, so at the time, that wasn't all that bad of a free car. As soon as I had income, I replaced it with a Toyota FX-16 GT-S which caused me a lot of financial strain as I went away to college. About two years later, I fell behind and got it repo'ed. That was the beginning of being poor, in debt and with bad credit through my 20's.
I could tell the OP or other young Z owners that they're heading down this path, but I don't.

One thing I've noticed here on this forum, having migrated from a Mazdaspeed3 community, is that the broadcast age range of the forum members here is much older. By broadcast age, I mean the preachy, crotchety old fuddy-duddy-ism that seems to come out of responders of any age on threads like this or others where the OP is foolish enough to show a little youthful naivete.
Instead of criticizing the young, why don't we guide them and help them. I'm not talking about a good old fashioned "when I was your age" lecture either... because we all know how well that worked on us, right?
Eventually, we'll pass and the Z fan torch will have to be carried by the next generation. Let's set them up for success with helpful advice and positive reinforcement.
