370z owners, what do you do about practicality?

Listen to this guy. I really don't think you should be buying this car. You're 24, why don't you worry about moving out of your parents' house first? Then you can just bring girls back to your place, which trust me will impress them way more than any car you could possibly own. Not to mention the fact that you don't appear to be able to afford this car on your own. Unless you're in high school or college, your parents shouldn't be springing for your car, especially a completely impractical, expensive toy like a 370Z.

Also, if you truly live in NYC (which I'm assuming you don't), owning any car is going to be a total nightmare. Most people there don't own cars for a reason.

Yes, moving out first would be the more logical choice but I live in NYC and it's hella expensive. The car is something I see for myself, to fill that gap I been wanting to since 17. The drifting scene and taking it out to the track is what I'm into. The 6 years driving the Teg has been fine but it's falling apart. I graduated in the Spring and worked a few odd jobs since then. Competition is crazy here in Finance. But I'm expecting to be hired not too long from now.

Oh and yes, I do live in NYC, in Queens. I think what your thinking about is Manhattan, in which I would agree in not being able to justify a car. Manhattan is a nightmare to drive in, parking is rare and expensive before 9pm. I mainly hang around other boroughs, where cars are convenient to have. I take the MTA to Manhattan.
