Here's my take on being young with nice toys. I wasn't told I couldn't have it until I was older but rather to make my decisions wisely. Personally I could afford a 370z at 22 but having just graduated and moving back home, I opted to save for a year and buy a house instead. To me that trumps the car any day. Having the toys would've been nice but it didn't feel right parking it in my parents garage or in an apartment lot. Thus I waited until I was 27 for my toy. Would've had it sooner but weddings are expensive!

Its all about priorities really. For me having my own house was more important so that's what I worked towards. Now that I have both, I wish I had a three car garage so my dd can be inside too lol. But yeah I just laugh when someone tells me I cant achieve something. Just motivates me that much more.

I was 20 when I bought my Z. Been working full time since I graduated college at 19

32... I did the sensible, responsible and reliable approach while in school and then during my time in the military. Had many other toys. Just kept the sports car thing on the bottom rung until I finally settled on something. I got out last October so I bought myself a Tag. Kept looking for a car and then finally, right after my birthday this year I gave the Z another shot and drove it home. Done with sensible and reliable. There's more important things in life like going fast when I wanna.

20. Traded my 2011 Mustang for my Z. Best decision I ever made!

Wabbyyy · 04-17-2013, 10:51 PM

Wabbyyy · 04-17-2013, 10:52 PM

you saved up for a Z at 16 years of age? Or your parents found it sensible to buy you a 3.7L v6 sportscar before you even had your permit, not to mention as your first car..?

just wondering

Got my first Z back in 1987 (260Z), then traded for a 280Z same year, In 1990 I got my then new 300ZXTwin Turbo, got another new Twin Turbo in 1992.
After 20 years I'm back on the Z club, just got a 370Z.
BTW I'm 59 now

bimmer · 04-18-2013, 01:09 AM

I was 57 when I got my first 350Z and then at 58 I got my first 370Z and now at 59 I have 2 370Z and and at this age I thoroughly enjoy them except where I reside (Calgary) the driving season is too short, it actually still snowing.
the Z's makes me feel young once again!!!!

zguynate · 04-18-2013, 07:40 PM

I got my first Z, a 2003 350z, the day before I graduated the police academy in Oct of 2009 when I was 21. I paid it off Feb of 2012, got rear ended 3 weeks later and upgraded to a 2009 370z with the help of the insurance check I got for my 350z. I would have bought another 350z if I didnt get a great deal on my 370z.

Mods on the 370z have been slow. Weddings and houses are expensive lol. The 370z will be my last newer sports car for a very long time. Its time to start a family and start saving for a retirement.

joeybosco · 04-18-2013, 11:14 PM

18, 2nd Z, 3rd sports car, 4th car

Meaning unless I was born into money i should just drown my dreams.

Pffffffffft.

Full time college, electrical engineering major, part time job, unpaid internship, part time job, and a girlfriend of almost 3 years. I'm managing alright

Oh and the Z came after an s2000. Both were my dream cars.

Who cares about what people say, as long as you can afford.
But I keep wondering, how do you manage the payments on the z, gas, insurance and on top of that a gf with a part time job?
