I know at age 18-22 I wouldn't have been able to afford a 370Z, not to mention in this current economy with fewer banks lending.
Yeah I'm 25, and I got an *** load of bills. I doubt I can fit in a $600/mth car payment...

When I was 22 I was paying $1,100 per 6months for a jetta. now I'm 25 paying $800 for a jetta and a maxima.

Why two cars? Don't get me wrong, I have two, well three but, but damn that is one hell of a monthly payment for vehicles.

It's $800 every 6 months for both cars, so that equates to about $135 per month. I thought this was pretty good.

I am 26. I'll probably pick one up when I'm 28 though.

26, 27 march 1st. I will be paying off my civic si getting my wife her Fit then I can get my 370z. I will wait for at least a year after they come out to get the bugs out and an oil cooler hopefully from factory.

If you don't track 370Z you shouldn't be worry about oil temperature. Beside, you can get Nismos oil cooler installed.

Hey that is a damn good point. I am going to track it but I just want the reassurance of good cool oil as well.
