They have a lot of power especially for someone who just got their license. Are you prepared to pay for maintenance? If something goes wrong after the warranty is up? Do you have any mechanical knowledge?

Back to my point if a Z is an absolute must, test drive one, hell some places allow you to track sports cars for a dollar amount per lap. More than likely they will have a Z. Push it to the limits and see if you are experienced enough to drive one.

He wants a Nismo 370z. I think it will cost more like $35k to $40k. I think maintenance will most likely be taken cared of by the elders. Man I wish I could've saved up $40k dollars to buy a brand new sports car back in high school working over the summers. I guess teens these days just make too much dough in summer jobs.

Sometimes I curious about how could they have such a sum of money to buy this kind of car too, but they are not asking our opinions on how to make/spend money, so I'll just say what the heck.

If they screwed the car, well, sorry, hope no one get injured, and see you after another 4 summerzzzzz.

Like mention above by the early raisers that the insurance premium will be probably more than the car payment.

Same, except I'm not at work right now. I just keep the same hours whether I am at the hospital or not.
