That made me feel a little bit better just wish I listened to my parents, Im only 16 so I dont know that much about cars and what works. So far I only swapped out the speakers with Alpine ones. Would you suggest investing into appearance or performance first though?

OP. Just enjoy the car like many of us do. You were excited I bet beyond reason (I could be wrong) but next time, listen to your parents or at least take their feedback seriously until you get out and live on your own. They are however off limits to the mods you decide to make.

At 16 please have your parents buy an aftermarket LSD and have it installed pronto. Keep the VDC on until you do so. Thats my advice. If you can afford to do so but if not please ask the parents. The lsd will probably save your life.

First I would not let my 16 year old son have a 370Z he's going to get a truck, an old one, made of iron. My first car was a 1987 4 door chevy cavalier. Damn thing didn't even work. I replaced the starter, oil pump, oil pan, and spark plugs and got it running. With my own money and labor. If you bought it with your own money that's great and applaud your discipline. Even still I would not let my boy buy one. But do your loved ones a favor and don't wrap it around a pole with you in it. Respect your ride and yourself. I've been messing with cars since I was 15. One thing that I have learned is that friends are like cars. They come and go.
(Sorry to rant)

This. You bought a 330+hp rwd sports car for your first car. It's a damn quick car, sport package or not. Resist the urge to show off or do something stupid.

since your 16 ill be honest. yes you did waste yours/parents money. not allot of money wasted but you could have saved a couple thousand. next time do some research about what models are worth and what all comes with them.
$30k is allot to spend and not know what you are getting into. lesson learned |

Or, go bang a 16 year old high school chick while you still legally can. You'll never eat fresher.

No matter what year, your parents should get a beating. Wait, I don't think it's legal to sell you a car. Is this a real story??? Last edited by andre12031948; 10-24-2013 at 05:39 PM. |
