Well not really because I have the Sport with Touring and Navigation, so actually the monthly car payment is more. Just saying

i got a 370z on my 18th birthday, now i have a G37S because i got in an accident and the Z got totaled. I wasnt racing or goofing around, it was simply an accident and am glad to live and experience the rest life has to offer. Yes my dad put the down payment on the G but i am paying the rest. My father and I work full time at our restaurant, so yes i am fortunate to have what i do but do not take advantage of it. Hopefully one day when i have kids i can pass down what i learned from my father and if i feel they are responsible enough i can reward them with something nice too

Awesome on you for thinking ahead. Everyone laughed at me when I started making connections at the dealership/bank 6 months before I even graduated. Of course, it's put me on a much better track

When I worked at a Ford dealership, it amazed me how many people showed up with NOTHING down and a mid 500's credit-score. It was a joke. No forethought what-so-ever. Just woke up and "decided they wanted a new vehicle". Yeah. That didn't work too well.

Maybe its just darwin's modern way of doing his thing, maybe I am just bitter.

I think thats you being bitter.

My first car was a plymoth horizon 1988, second was a 1992 crown victoria, 1998 toyota corrola, 2005 scion tc, 2010 370z....can you tell which car my parents bought for me =p

I dont agree with parents doing this either but what can you do?

Jessobear · 12-17-2010, 06:20 AM

I'm not bitching and I'm not talking about the price of the car. I'm just saying that based on my experiences, giving a car with the performance of a 370Z to a high school student is a bad idea.

I can certainly agree with you that I was pretty reckless as a kid. When I was in college, I totaled my friend's '92 MR2 Turbo by driving rally-style down an unknown gravel road and sliding off into the woods. I may have been more reckless than most, but I don't think my experiences were all that dissimilar to other kids my age. Every person I knew who had a fast car drove at least somewhat like a maniac.

I agree with you that losing control of cars is the best way to learn about driving them fast, but I don't think I'd want my own kid doing that every day on public roads. I'd rather buy the kid something cheap like an old F-body and let him learn that kind of stuff in a controlled environment like an autocross.
