^^LOL he also has a plane, helicopter and his own arnold schwarzenegger..just so he can say "Get to the Choppa!!!"

i was 19 when i got my g..hell yes im spoiled and i dont care..but the G is sorta modest compared to the Lambo's, BMW M's, and a very special SLS AMG in my complex..

You guys going nuts over young kids driving nice cars...stay away from Los Angeles, you might shoot yourself.

Why would anyone care anyway? Rich parents buy their kids nice things. Good kids from good parents and a good upbringing know to appreciate them and grow up to be decent human beings. Bad kids from bad parents grow up to be spoiled ***holes. If you look closely at life, most of it is like this and the ones talking **** are usually just jealous.

back to my original post.
thanks for all the inputs, but my parents didnt buy the zed for me, i didnt get finance.
its just all my savings since birth.
just to tell you guys my background.
ive graduated, single, fulltime worker, pays rent, bills etc on my own. my rental apartment has a river view. im not a show off , i just like to have the good things in life. whats the point or working and saving if you dont enjoy spending money.
and thats where the problem comes in, i dont really save much now as i bought the car in cash. so most of my friends are all living with their parents still and still catch the public transport to work/uni etc. and everytime i catch up with them they seem to be really distant. (probably of all the things i bought and my lifestyle). basically things i own, have somehow changed to way they see me. at 21 i think anything expensive seems like im spoilt or cocky. but im not either. i just work a lot and spend a lot.

Eventually, we'll pass and the Z fan torch will have to be carried by the next generation. Let's set them up for success with helpful advice and positive reinforcement.

Just when I was starting to lose faith in humanity you came by and posted in here. Thank god for that.

Im an attention whore.. thats why i bought the Z. =)

red6spd · 07-07-2010, 11:24 AM

I love when people come over and ask me about my Z. I even had a really young kid in his teens with a late model 350 ask me if he could stick his head in the window and look at the difference between the two. I also find myself in the "did your mom buy that for you" category. I think people just get mad when they see a really young person (I'm 23) in a car like this. I dont make a million dollars a year but I worked hard for my Z.

About two years later, I fell behind and got it repo'ed. That was the beginning of being poor, in debt and with bad credit through my 20's.
I could tell the OP or other young Z owners that they're heading down this path, but I don't.

One thing I've noticed here on this forum, having migrated from a Mazdaspeed3 community, is that the broadcast age range of the forum members here is much older. By broadcast age, I mean the preachy, crotchety old fuddy-duddy-ism that seems to come out of responders of any age on threads like this or others where the OP is foolish enough to show a little youthful naivete.

Thats when you know you should stop hanging out with kids and start associating with adults.
