Need Convincing Advice

buddyZ

why do you care about gas mileage? Why dont you actually get a car you can afford instead of swiping your parents Chevron gas card.

I understand your concern but what my parents can afford is none of your business.

@Kaien I thank you for the long term test results.

Now I'll see what vehicle I do get. If I do get a Z, I'll post back.

But really, all these negative comments are not needed.

Also, I am confident enough of my driving skills and it's not like I'm going to be driving a Z within a month or so anyway, no worries.

Forums are like strip clubs man...you got the hot ones...and the ugly ones. Having negative comments are just the nature of the beast. We just need to be smart enough to sift through the garbage and take it with a grain of salt.

I don't know you from anyone else on this forum...but a 370 seems like a bit too much car for someone who just got their license and is inexperienced behind the wheel. Though none of us are your parents and it's not our business what car you decide to get...we are allowed to give our opinions or "advice" as you requested.

Good luck with whatever you choose and welcome to the forum!

ANY smart newly licensed driver should NOT be confident in their driving abilities. There are so many dangers of the road that take time to get used to. Even if you've been racing cars on the track all your life, the real road poses many threats and should not be underestimated. I suggest you not be confident in your abilities.

What you can be though is disciplined, and that is something that will allow you to own and stay safe in a sports car. I drove an '86 celica for a year or two then bought and paid for a 350z when I was 17... on my own. But that's another argument to be had.

If you're disciplined then there should be no problem. But don't give your parents the argument that you are a "skilled" driver... because you can't be yet.
