zman525 Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share #25 Posted November 9, 2005 haha. i restarted a badd thread, they really need to get a delete thread button. Anyways as for young drivers having nice cars.... its usually their parents buying them nice cars, they sell drugs, or on a rare occasion (like mine for instance) they worked their arse off.

AChev Posted November 10, 2005 Share #28 Posted November 10, 2005 I can atest to that as well Zman. When I was sixteen, I spent my entire summer working 50 hour weeks (5, ten hour days a week) working in a seed warehouse/plant. I worked my tail off that summer. At the close of that summer I bought my Z. Although there are many spoiled kids, whatever they want is just given to them, I see where your coming from on that one bpilati. But for me, buying my Z was not easy, because the money I spent on it, I wasted a whole summer earning it. It makes my z more important to me because it came from my sweat of a horrible summer.

zman525 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share #29 Posted November 10, 2005 i definantly agree with you on that one man. i cant say i worked 50 hours a week in a seed warehouse but i did work really hard to get my Z. Hell my Z isnt even restored i just have the thing, im only half way there. Everything i own i worked really hard for and it was never just given to me. I appreciate all people like this cuz i know it isnt easy. Im not tryin to start anymore drama on this site but all im sayin is i appreciate peoples work and complement them everytime i get a chance to. When people work hard they deserve whatever they get. I dont care if its a 10 year old kid using a ferrari as a jungle gym, as long as they worked hard to get it, i appreciate it. As for the spoiled yuppies, i have a differnt opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Posted November 10, 2005 Share #31 Posted November 10, 2005 I'm 20, have driven the requisite bomb (1989 civic & peugeot 404 [pugsley fun tho])for the last 2 years (australian license=18) whilst I've been restoring my 71' 240, I don't see why age should be a factor, if you are willing to work for your car (and not beg mummy and daddy for a new m3) whether you are a twenty y.o. or a 50 y.o. you have the same right. Cars are meant to be driven, and a car totalled by a 50 y.o. is the same as a car totalled by a 20 y.o. (god forbid it happens to my car or anyone elses).and hey, if you get one at 18-25, you've got longer to enjoy it and appreciate it :-). heheHuw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRrider1988 Posted November 10, 2005 Share #32 Posted November 10, 2005 well to stay on topic first i have had mine to just under 120, with just me in it and nobody around on I-5. It was still slowly ganing speed but i was scared of cops (i have a perfect driving record!) and a curve was coming up. Anyways on the age thing, im 17, i just bought my Z, its my 3rd car (80 toyota 4x4, and a 79 ford bronco before). I bought it for a fun gas friendly car because my bronco runs only on premium with octane booster nad gets under 6 MPG. I worked for mine too, everyday after school and anyday i had off of school, 7 days a week. I have payed for all 3 of my own cars, i pay my insurace (ALOT OF MONEY FOR A 17 YEAR OLD MALE), and i pay for all my gas and if i need parts i pay for that too. if i dont my dad says i cant drive, even though he can aford to help me out he wont which is fine, it teaches responsibility.

agemeansnothing Posted November 10, 2005 Share #35 Posted November 10, 2005 Why does age have to be a factor to some people? Like come on bpilati if you think 16 is young don't bother looking at my avatar because I'm 12. Well if it makes you feel better bpilati I'm turning 13 in March. It's not like I'm not thankful for having my Z but when your 12 money is hard to get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpilati Posted November 11, 2005 Share #36 Posted November 11, 2005 There are always exceptions, but most kids THESE days (ever heard that before?) don't know how to appreciate good things given to them.Why I had to ride a school bus through the snow to school everyday, both ways up hill.
