i've always been a very conservative guy when it comes to spending (i paid for my own college and expense back then) so extra cash spent on the fun was definitely not a good option for me.
Now going forward, at the age of 26, after paying off all the loan, buying a house, finding a good job, i finally decided to spend the extra cash for the fun. I did a lot of research before making the decision for the Z and boy i can't emphasize this enough, but I am very pleased with the decision. It is a very fun car and even tho i do drive quite a bit for work, i still enjoy every minute of it.
Better start late than never eh?
