370z as a first car

My biggest concern was the lack of visibility around the car, especially in tight areas with curbs. I can't see anything within 10' of the car.

When you take it to a car wash, make sure you go to the drive through ones, not the ones where there's a rail for the wheels. The wheels are too wide to fit, you will destroy your rims.

And I can't stress this any more, but respect the power. This is a 2-ton missile that doesn't hesitate to break loose and out of control. VDC off = bye bye car. No joke. Avoid showing off, because it WILL result in a wreck. I personally pulverized 18" of curb and had to replace my rims after sending my Z airborne just in my second week of owning it. Be extra extra careful in the rain and easy on the right foot.

If you have a head on your shoulders and can be responsible, get the Z.
If you want to fool around just to impress friends and chicks, don't get the car.
