two weeks and one cent, Bob.

 

dont hate me, god damn

 

If you're not responsible enough to maintain your car to keep it running, how are you going to maintain and not crash an S2000? Or is that just what your parents are telling you?

I average over 1000 miles a week on my 215k old car. They're Hondas, they last forever as long as you know what you're doing.

 

i bet you it wont be 2 weeks

i'm still in high school h:

Yeah, I do drive like an idiot sometimes h:

ignore the haters. Congrats on getting such a nice car. I just hope you know what you're getting into h:

 

Nobody drives responsible 100% of the time. Your young and like me so we drive more like an idiot then the older people. I still screw around in my car alot. You just gotta consider driving a rwd car can really bite you in the butt if your not careful. Ask ap2 and dubster

 

Um. My parents are comfortable with getting me a new car becuase of the situations. Im graduating HS. Ive taken excellent car of my car during my time of onwership. The car it self is pretty old. 1998 with 100k miles. And my parents are both in a financial situation to allow a purchasing of a new vehicle. I've worked hard in H.S. and I see this as a nice reward for myself. Im pretty sure you wouldn't turn this down in my position. My parents simply said. We'll get you a new car for graduation. I understand how you all are like: HS + s2k = dead. But I have learned already from my previous speeding ticket experience and I have been driving safely ever since. You can't really say all this shit about me when you don't know anyhting about me. I just want to know your opinions on what car would be more enjoyable since you all probably know a lot more about them then me.

 

really depends on if you want hard or soft top. i like both

 

yeah im having a big convertable vs hardtop abttle in my head h:

 

BATTLE!!!!!!!!!
i guess the Z would have more interior room...
Its cheaper too. well the base anyways

 

You are certainly correct, not a single one of us would have "turned down" an S2k or 350Z if we'd been offered one as an hs grad gift. We just think that they are too fast (and therefore too dangerous) for someone with limited driving experience. To go from a low power front drive car to a high-power rear drive car is a huge change, especially (and I'm guessing here) since you probably have very little experience driving a rear-wheel drive car in the first place.

A safer option would be something like a WRX. Not to dis on your driving skills, but it's almost a certainty that you will wreck the S2k or 350Z within a year. I wrecked my minivan when I was 18. Almost all of my friends destroyed their first car, and none of them even had cars that were fast enough to be dangerous. We basically see it as a waste of a good car, since we're all assuming it will be totalled. I certainly wish you good luck and don't want you to get into an accident, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope.
