Lol, I was thinking the same thing. Hell, In my early 20's I dove a piece of sh8t. Had to carry oil,coolant and air tank around in the back seat.

Mom and Dad helped alot of these kids and many are still living at home. I know kids in these situations that devote their entire paychecks to the car and insurance. It's not always what it seems. Like someone else said this is not an accurate poll. The day I finished High school I was out of the house and living on my own. The best my parents did for me was co-sign my first car loan but thats about it.

Lol well I'm 22 and own a Nismo 370z and a 613 hp 1990 300zx and have built my own home, Mommy and daddy have not paid a penny. I have a college degree in Aerospace and work at Unitied Launch Alliance and I have been here almost 3 years. So its not really fair that you think just cause someone is young they have to have mom and dad pay for their stuff.

Most people either got a degree that's useful (and work in that field), have parents that they live with, or they are in the service industry (bartenders, dancers, etc.) or military. They probably wore a condom or just got incredibly lucky and don't have to worry about supporting a family at an early age. They know how to save their money instead of blowing it on booze or going out every night.

My point is, a $35K car is not hard to attain before age 25 if you don't mess around with life and go get it done. It's people who don't think about their actions and consequences of them who have trouble trying to get nice things in life. Or if your calling is a low income job (nothing wrong with that), it may take longer before you can buy some things. You have to do what you enjoy, but there is a price for it sometimes.

I do not own a 370Z, as I bought something else (thus did not vote), but had I deceided to go with a 370Z, I would cast my vote at 25.

What I wrote was more of a joke and i dont know where you are from, but $35,000 at the age of 25 IS hard to obtain to drop on a car, unless you live with mommy and daddy still and were lucky enough to have someone pay for your education... But then again im sure its all about the variables of where you live. For me, cost of living is very expensive, gas is expensive, you cant have (or is extremely hard) to have only a 370z for a daily driver, especially in the winter. Let alone housing, expenses and trying to not be a hermit. If my option was to pretty much do nothing with myself or have a 370z, id pass on the Z and live my life...

Nismo221

you just must hate young people in nice cars. I saved and paid for my Nismo in 4 months, with no help from mommy or daddy. And I still have a life and other hobbies. So I think you should stop being mad at younger people that have gotten out there and work and go out there and get yourself a better job.

lol, where did you get that i was mad? im not lol and could care less. I own a house, the 370z is my second car. dont you worry, im well set up. Also, i had nice cars when i was younger as well because i was lucky enough to have help from my parents. What i wrote wasnt to make fun, so dont go jumping to the conclusion that what i wrote means that I am mad at young people with nice cars. If anything you should have realized that my point is true. Its easier to save the money when you live at home with mommy and daddy cuz you dont have any other expenses. but in my opinion, moving out of the house and going to school and living on your own, getting to travel a little and enjoying your youth is a high priority and by doing that, it makes it much much harder to be able to afford a sports car... I was pointing out facts, not complaining about things. but I do know that saving and paying for a Nismo in 4 months is highly unlikely...How would you be able to make $38,000 + in 4 months?

You make a good point. When I grauated college in Aug 09, my fiancée (at the time) and I moved back home with my parents. We did it to save money so we could buy a house and plan our wedding. Well, we got as far as planning the entire wedding. We had all our vendors booked. Then she broke it off in October.

I got my job in Dec 09, bought my house in April '10, and bought the Z in July '10. Without living at my parents house for those 4 months while I was finally making money and had very limited bills, I would have not been able to buy the Z so quickly.

Haha well it all depends on your job. Me I'm a Welder/Production Tech for Unitied Launch Alliance. And have been doing it for almost 3 years, so saving that was not that big a deal. I even built a home in the same year. So thats my point is just cause people are young does not mean they cant afford or need their parents help buying a car while having to live at home. Because I did not need them to.

If you mean buying outright, I can agree. However, I would bet most people at age 25 are financing rather than paying cash.

Income usually reflects cost of living.

Where I live, I don't make all that much, but my appartment is only $405/mo and it's in a nice part of town near everything with low crime rates,etc.

Pelican170

Good point. When I talk about owning the car, i mean bought out and payed off, not just making payments.
