OMG !!!!!! 10th Z? That must be a record !!!! Maybe we need a Poll to see exactly what the record is ?

Make sure you tell your Mom and Dad thanks!

red z 11-29-2010 04:35 PM

18 when i had my 06 350z, now have an 09 an about to turn 21 in january

jamesleerpc 11-29-2010 04:36 PM

I did. I love them forever... Lol.. But then again the main reason why i got this car was because my best friend that i knew since i was 3 got his car when he was 15 and he got a G37S.. so he set the bar pretty high. Then my other friend got a red Genesis.. so i asked for a 370z and it took awhile but now I have the fastest car out of all haha... But i feel bad when i see other people who are alot older that drive cars that arent better than mine. Like i am only 17 and my parents bought a 53k car.. (42.6k invoice.. got it to 39k then with taxes and APR and warranty.. it came out to 53k)

45, my first new Z. I also have a 77 that's been in storage since 1988.

I had a 69, 71, 72 and 78 Z. I sure wish the 69 was in my garage.

Gman91111 11-30-2010 12:12 AM

24, bought it the day I turned 24.

God these payments s*ck!! LOL

Don't hate on Jamesleerpc...

Hate the parents.

cujo 11-30-2010 01:21 AM

42 here. My wife's best friend kept saying that I got the Z because of my midlife crisis, but her husband kept texting me to "call in sick today" and go out for a ride with him (he has a Cayman):)
I noticed all these votes are from us guys who are passionate about the Zs. Are there any ladies out there with the same addiction?

vReath 11-30-2010 01:41 AM

my dad had a 300 when i was younger and i still miss that car. opportunity to buy a Z for myself, hell yeah. bought the car a few months after turning 21 but i busted *** off helping my parents run their shop and still do in order to do so.

98intrigue 11-30-2010 08:05 AM

I bought my G35 when I was 19. I valeted throughout college and made pretty good money and had a blast doing it! I worked at some nice venues and was able to drive cars I never thought I'd get a chance to even see in person. Being into cars, it wasa dream job for my age. For you parents out there, if your kids are in college and are into cars, I'd highly suggest them look for a valet job. It's a lot of fun...if you're in to being in the service industry. I went to college in Orlando...

The G35 was MY first car and I went a little overboard with mods. Now that I've done a little growing up (25), I wanted a new car since I was worried my G35's motor was going to blow with over 50k miles boosted on the stock block. It started frying ignition coils left and right. I traded it in with 113k miles for my 40th.

I'm trying not to go as crazy with the Z, but I've almost caught up to my mods that I had on my G35...minus the boost. Once you start...you can't stop!

TypeOne 11-30-2010 02:00 PM

I've worked hard for everything that I have and the Z is part of that. I'm not rich by any means, but I'm happy... that's all that matters right?

Why hate my parents? Did they do something wrong?:confused:

Jessobear 12-01-2010 05:02 PM

I think the ages people post on here are not representative of the real ownership of the car. I think that generally, this is a car that's owned by a bit older of a crowd due to the price. Any internet forum will attract most of the younger owners of the car and few of the older owners.

Even if you look at this poll, about 50% of the people responded that they were older than 30. I used to own a Celica. Believe me, there was almost nobody over 30 on that forum.

I'm 33 if it matters.

I think people just found a little disdain for somebody who would make a comment like "I feel bad when I see people older than me who don't have as nice of a car"...

Nothing against you or your situation, I had a brand new, fully loaded G35 when I turned 16 thanks to my parents. Unfortunately, however, if you don't want people to think you're a worthless and undeserving teenager...act like you deserve it by not making comments like that.

I mean I didnt mean it in a way that i dont appreciate my car. Trust me i appreciate my car very very much. This car is pretty much my life. But out of curiosity do people randomly give you guys thumbs ups? Because i get those a lot.

I'm actually kind of glad I never got my first new car until I graduated college (although I had a motorcycle in college). Looking back, it's a headache I'm glad I didn't have. I mean now, I have a good job and can easily afford the car, I can afford to buy some stuff for it and I have a good secure place to keep it.

In college I had some beater Integra that I bought for $1000 and it was great because I paid for it in cash and it was already a beater, so I never worried about where it was parked, what it looked like or if I ran it into things. It freed up my time and money for much more important things: buying beer and chasing girls.

Laz34 12-02-2010 04:34 PM

I was 17 when i first got my 370z. i am currently 18 and extremely satisfied with my first Z ( black cherry 370z).

Now that's more like it... an educated, mature response by a younger guy. :tup:
