FINALLY! (Youngest 370z Owner?)

capo190 · 02-13-2009, 07:09 PM

My Z has finally arrived off the truck. It's at the dealership. Going there to put a deposit on it tomorrow. Then I will finish the paper work next week and drive it home and supply pics + videos.

7AT Black base model with Splash Guards - $30,813

gunna add on the factory spoilers so prolly another $500

Insurance is about $860 every 6 months.

I think I may be the youngest 370z owner. Still 16 now. Won't have my license for another month.

But before anyone yells and points and calls me a rich spoiled kid, I'm paying for more than half the car. (I'll be personally paying about $280 a month towards the car)

so happy

Drive safe. Be proud!

Please be safe, I see way to often when young kids are handed WAY more of a car than they can handle and people are killed. Seems like every couple of months someone posts something new over at my350...

Be thankful Hraes isn't over here, and be careful.

When I was 16 all I could afford was a 89 Accord and I still worked my *** off. It took my first job after graduating College before I picked up a 350Z, there is no way I would have been ready financially or mature enough to have that car when I was 16.

Good luck with it.

young padawan capo, be safe while driving and that's great that you can afford such things at a young age

Wow....souinds like you might be a hard worker. My first car in 1979 was a 1968 Chevy...with rust and all and I loved it because I paid for it...of course I paid $750, but I paid for it! Good luck young man and congrats!

Congrats, I must echo everyone's comments and also I urge you to keep it on the track if you know what I mean. The 370 is allot of car and tempting to just drive it balls out but please be safe, you know its fast thats what counts and not treating every light like a drag race. If any thing use it to reel in the chicks lol!

Great words of advice

Ohhhh yeah. Just read this thread on my350z: The worst has happened : [ - MY350Z.COM Forums

Anyways, some advice to you...
1. Don't let your friends drive no matter what. Don't mess up your car and your friendship.
2. Stable throttle control especially in the rain.
3. Stay away from inner left lanes when raining to avoid hydroplaning
4. Don't accelerate through turns. Remember, we're RWD!
5. Always try to find the biggest parking lot available. I hate it when careless people place dings and scratches on my door.

Wise words indeed.

- and I would add... Never accelerate hard when leaving a roundabout*, especially a small one, unless you like seeing your ar$e in a wall.

*is that what they're called in America, or is it 'turning circle'?
