When I got my permit, I drove our 2001 bade Honda accord (I4). I eventually started driving our 2006 Camry V6 since it was in far better condition, had abs.
Last spring, I got a 2009 Monterey blue 370z with touring and sport pkg's. I was going to get a new car for college since our accord was totaled in a hailstorm and my parents needed the camry for daily practical purposes. (parents drive a g37 sedan). At first we looked at the new v6 accords, genesis 3.8 track, the v6 camry (our price range became higher when I got full tuition at my college), but when we found the Z with low miles and for significantly cheaper than our other options, my mom went for it.
Now that I'm in college, the Z basically is garaged other than during breaks and on weekends when I go back home. It's what I miss most about home now
