darkROAM_1 · 12-30-2009, 11:07 AM

Meh, 25 in a few days and a single loser for most of it. That has nothing to do w/ my car since it's more about the joy of driving for me. I can barely afford the car so yay me! ^_^

mototrmpt · 12-30-2009, 11:10 AM

48. My previous z was an 84ZX turbo right out of college.

My other hobbies include an 04 Aprilia Mille Factory Race bike, and an 04 Aprilia Mille street bike. I like to call them my twins.

Oh yah...I also have a wife and two teenage daughters.

I'm 18 and currently working for Wells Fargo as a banker
and NO my parents did NOT pay for anything on my car, I been saving up for a 350Z since I was 12 and I was able to put my own down payment and insurance. Everything on my car is all my own money and not spoiled by my parents at all.

Bought it when I was 18, dad cosigned for me, been making payments since. I'm 19 now. I work at a Honda, Yamaha, Polaris and Suzuki dealership as a parts manager and I have been here for a bit over three years now. Oh the Titan was half sponsored by daddy, he paid half and so did I, but the Z has been my credit builder as now I have refinanced and it is totally in my name. (Local bank with family friends in high places)

I don't drive my Z as much as I would like since I'm at work most of the time and going to college full time but hopefully next summer I will find some time to go put some road course miles on it since that was my whole intention with the car anyway.

21 I work hard for what I have, mommy and daddy didn't even buy me my first car. Had to go get a job to buy that v6 Mustang. It was a excelent parenting choice, taught me the value of a dollar.

Billy02987 · 12-30-2009, 02:46 PM

22, bought mine when I was 21 and it was the first car that I officaly purchased in my name. I had a 05 350z before but cosigned under my father.

It helps to know the value of money and hard work to get it. Good job.

The challenge for parents now, at least the well educated professional ones, is how to raise our children in an age of unprecedented privelage and wealth, with so many choices to make, to appreciate the finer things in life and the skill, discipline, commitment, and long term effort it has taken us to get here, across multiple generations.

Most of us raise our children at a lifestyle level they cannot hope to support themeselves until they are 30ish, and that's if they have a lot of talent, discipline, and do the hard work.

Which is why the children don't launch until age 25 or 30 nowadays....

and depending on how you look at it, either way, the last ten years of "DUMB CREDIT" are over, which has largely been financing the over abundant and unsustainable lifestyles of the majority.

While I can see the point in parents treating their children to a lifestyle they may not achieve until later in life, but is that not the point? One of my parents goals is to let their children have more than what they had, not just in money/gifts/etc. but education, life experiences, etc. Many people choose to work harder and reach that level sooner in life. I will not preach about my own life, but I think some of your comments are extremely pessimistic on society or the youth.
