I'm not implying that you didn't buy yours on your own, but at 24 years old, that's kinda a big deal in my eyes.


Edit: I don't literally pull alongside and laugh at people or anything. It's an inside feeling.
I don't think most people compare cars they see on the road when its another 370z. I do sometimes notice if its sport or not only so I can mention what trim when I reply to the 370z spotted thread.

Also i could have easily gotten a nismo or a 40th but honestly I really wanted the MB and did not want to do an after-market paint job (especially if the 40th) so I got what I wanted.

I also bought the 370z on my own at 24 years old as well. After i bought my house (also on my own) at 24.

I had my priorities strait and got the house first and *then* saw if I could afford a 370z as well after having the house for a few months and knowing what my total month out of pocket for everything (utilities, maintenance, etc.. was).

Just getting a 30k car at 24 doesn't mean much. I think I had my priorities in order. If I wanted to I could have easily gotten a 370z right when they came out but it would have probably delayed my house.
