Bought my first "Z" and sports car in Nov 2010 at the young age of 63. Bought it for myself as a combination christmas and birthday gift since my birhday is on Dec 26. For insurance I pay State Farm $312 every 6 months for full coverage.

I bought my first "Z" a 280Z when I was 18.

I now pay about $800 per year in insurance for full coverage. Exactly what liability cost per year on the 280, back then.

I was 25 yrs. old. I pay 200 a month for three cars, and they are all classified as sports cars. I think the Z raised me up 60 dollars a month from what I was paying. I get a little discount for having my house insured with them as well. I use Allstate.

17 when I bought my 300zx
18 when I bought my 280z (kept my 300zx and was the only 18 year old I knew with 2 cars at the time)
27 when I when I bought my 370z.

The 280z and 300zx I bought on my own while going to school full time and only working 15-20hrs a week part time. The 370z was a gift to myself for graduating med school; of course I waited until I was 6mo out and had a stable job. Now I have 3 Z's.

Got mine at 19, I did a 50/50 deal with my parents and am in the process of paying back the other half of the cost of the car I could not afford after selling my old car and spending some of my savings and selling some stock. I have so far paid back about half of my parent's half.

I've always been a huge believer that working for something gives you a much greater appreciation for anything you get, I personally get great satisfaction knowing I worked for everything I have.

Bought mine last year, was 26. Last week had my windows down stopped at a stoplight. An older guy on a harley pulls up next to me, says nice car, followed by "so did your mom n dad buy that for you". Was kind of surprised by that. Told him no. If you work full time, have no debt and are wise with your money you can afford one, even when you young!
