I pay 67$ a month on my Z.. bet its not that much more I agree that statistics do prove your point. However it is not fair to automatically assume that bad things will happen. My evo never had a mark on it, grew up with kids with nice cars (M3s, vette's, V8 chargers, ect) that had absolutely no issues taking care of them...

I guess it helps growing up in the desert driving my parents truck around, and riding MX since I was 3.. I mean I had my street bike permit at 15 1/2 and was riding an R6... Never dropped it or got a ticket. I remember at 12 years old I was launching my families boat, backing it down the ramp with no one in the truck but me! the good ole days. Just sayin, not all 16 year olds are incompetant

What you can be though is disciplined, and that is something that will allow you to own and stay safe in a sports car. I drove an '86 celica for a year or two then bought and paid for a 350z when I was 17... on my own. But that's another argument to be had. If you're disciplined then there should be no problem. But don't give your parents the argument that you are a "skilled" driver... because you can't be yet.

The Z doesn't scream "I'm driving my dad's car" like the BMW or "Mom's car" with the Mercedes. only thing that comes to mind is "damn that's a nice car.." To kids around that age, people would just think you're a really young entrepreneur.

What do you expect? Starting a post about getting a first car using mommy and daddy's money , especially one like the 370z, will warrant negative comments.
I worked hard in life and getting a 370z is a way to show myself I made it, that hard work really does pay off. In all serious, stick with a slower car. Can't go wrong with Hondas.

then in 08 I thought I purchased my dream car in an 07 dodge charger SE. It was definitely a step up for me into a modern car, then 2 years later I saw one on the road at least 4 times a day so it got old fast... I'm 25 now, just purchased my Z a month ago and its only up from here! I can't even imagine going from a same class of car to a lower or even equal class of car and that might happen getting this type of car right out of the gate. A loss of excitement when it comes to cars. Sorry for the life story... I meant to stop after my jeep, but the writer in me just kept going.
