I wanted a 350z really bad back in 2010 in high school but, i ended up driving a 08 Altima 3.5SE the thing was fun and it was fast compared to what others had but i never even scratched the thing i loved my car, probably cause i bought it myself........


so having a 370z back then, i would have loved it and everything ... but would of been the same except faster and no backseats lol

i had same girlfriend throughtout high school so nothing different there....

I would have been dead if I had my 370 back in HS... not that the 370 existed back then. Same as if my Ducati 848 had been my first motorcycle. Some EMT would have picked me up off of the road with a spatula.

I had a 454 black SS truck that was given to me by my dad In 2000. I graduated in 03. I took it for granted and was childish and wrecked it. Lol but if I had my z that I paid for then it I probably would have babied it.

a. Would have definitely been dead or in a wheel chair, I squeezed every last bit of horsepower out of the 4 cyl eclipse that I drove.

b. would definitely lose the V card, probably also dead.

I don't think I'd be any different. My car doesn't define who I am but is rather an extension of my personality. I would've had more fun because of the power, but it probably would've gotten me into trouble at the same time. I had a Nissan Sentra and still racked up a handful of tickets before I was 21. She wasn't fast but she was loaded with suspension goodies (and of course the obligatory audio system overhaul). Man I miss that car. This was when I really got into Nissan.

Thank goodness I didn't. Probably would be crippled or not around today and worse yet, might have invovled some other innocent people with me.

Nothing wrong with humble beginnings (started with a beat up 69 Toyota Corona for $80 and probably paid $40 too much!). Makes me truly appreciate all the material creature comforts I've been able to acquire along the way!

I had a 280ZX in highschool, which I still own 15 years later. It gave me a lot of respect from the Honda and import guys but never did much else for me (I didn't really get a sports car for the "status" reason anyways).

Now... once I got a little bit older, the car got a little bit older and was over 20 years old, it certainly had an impact on some of the ladies going out to the bars at night.

I pulled up to a stoplight and some girl walking down the street on a Friday night, probably not realizing my window was open asked her friend if "that car" was a Porsche or a Jaguar... she hesitated for a second and said "definitely a porsche"

Also of note, Cougars have amazing flashbacks when you blast Duran Duran in the car or the soundtrack to Miami Vice with the T-Tops off, but now I am well off topic of talking about the car in highschool.

Yes I would have been even more of a douche back in highschool and I probably would have blown my motor.

I had the fastest car in highschool(GST spyder eclipse pushing 230whp), and I was a douche, granted if I had my Z back then, I probably wouldn't have earned money with street racing cause no one would want to run me lol.
