Default Commodities

If you made money from investing in the ETFs for gold and silver, you were lucky for the runnup not smart just lucky. But remember, with gold still up 17% YTD and silver flat , commodities are very volitile at this point so watch out either for more corrections or runnups once the debt problems seem to be on there way to be solved around the world(Europe). Also , you'll pay taxes to both IRs and your state even though your still a kid, so put money aside for that. Good luck on the Z but dont get over your head. Buy the base model and go from there for the upgrades such as the stereo.

Or at the very least drive the car for a year or so before boosting it. It can get away from you with stock power much less 150+ over stock.

Well if she's a pro golfer it shouldn't be very hard to google 16yr old golf pro and find her.

Lol I'm a guy and their are tons of 10-20k prize money tournaments at local country clubs. And they are Opens so you don't have to be a "pro" to enter them. But I appreciate all the effort Kaienz34 went through to try and find me

I'm not going to say one way or another about whether or not you should get it, but please be a responsible driver with w/e you buy and keep the racing on the track.

On another note I'm pretty sure once you start accepting cash prizes you are considered a "Pro" even if you don't declare yourself a pro, since you are being paid for your playing. I know for a fact that the NCAA would deem that a disqualifier since even though it is an "open" event you have received more than the actual and necessary expenses (i would assume these would be expenses related to travel/food/entry fees, etc).

Honestly, there is nothing wrong for a driver to drive a modded car, a Ferrari or whatever, as long as you drive within your limit and be responsibe.

The things is what you, as a 16 years old, will face in real world. are prejudgements from other people and extra comments/fingers pointing at you if you done anything wrong, such as accident, speeding or cutting off people lane. It's gonna be VERY VERY HARSH on you.

The other thing is, when other people see a 16 years old driving a modded import, exhaust noise and stuffs, they gonna thought you are a spoiled kid, cops gonna choose to stop you rather than a 40 yrs old driving the same Z, you will have to expect that's gonna happen alot, and you gonna hold your breath and stay calm.

Nobody will know you earn your own money to make this happen except us in this forum.

It sounds ridiculous and shallow, but sadly it is what it is.


Of course, we forum Z members always welcome any new Z owner.

It's just from looking at you background, 16 with 70k looking for a sport car with heavy mod in mind, it just makes us raise our eyebrows, but be expect it will happen to you in real world too.

Have fun on the buying, you might not need to mod it right away, an orginal Z is very very enjoyable to drive!!!


note: as long as you drive responsiblely, ppl gonna respect you.


cheers
