What's the insurance run on one of those?

A hell of a lot more than a 16 year old kid working at Pizza Hut can afford...unless Daddy pays it for him...

The poor manners of some of the forum members amazes me.

Don't agree with him, say nothing.

Yeah most people my age (18) can't handle 300+ HP. I bet it's wrapped around a tree in the first month.
I like the 300ZX too, but I'd MUCH rather a Fiero, and like peopel have said, you could probably have done a LOT of stuff with that cash (engine mods, body kits, COLLEGE).
There are very few cars I'd take over the Fiero, and the 300ZX isn't one of them.

I'll tell you what car a lot of people I talk to prefer in styling, the Fiero. All my relatives love the look of it, I get girls turning their heads all the time when I drive past, parts of cheap for this car, and maintenance, on mine at least, is only on regular maintenance parts.

300s are nice, but have fun with the high cost of maintenance, especially when something goes wrong with the turbos, high price of parts and high insurance(but I guess daddy is paying for it).

There are a lot of cars I like, but the Fiero has the most character and uniqueness.

"Girls were actually checking out my car on cruise through downtown, unlike the Fiero. Fiero is the poor man's sports car."

Well.. in my experience girls are less interested in what kind of car you drive and more interested in what kind of person you really are at heart. Would you really want a woman to love you for your car?

And the poor man's sports car.. What's wrong with that? For me, that was a major draw. It isn't a car that I HAVE to dump money into. There are plenty of very nice things I can do to my car rather inexpensively. The best part is being able to do them myself. I think you're missing the true allure of this car - the possibilities that are within it. And the community that surrounds it is fantastic. There is no shortage of people to help you with any problem you have with it. These are cars for people who like doing things themselves, to be able to say, "Yeah, I did that myself. It was hard work and I'm proud of it."

I bought my Fiero because it was what I wanted, a good prohject to keep myself busy with. You bought your Nissan because you want "a fast car to impress girls with."

Adjust your thinking, man. Set your priorities properly.

Oh.. and get a real job, assbiter.

Hell. I don't even remember reading your other 31 posts, and I still don't like you. Hope you and your Posermobile are happy. Watch out for the trees.

Anyone want to make a guess on when one of his chickies comes up preggers?

I think the Fiero would be easier to work on than the 300ZX. A friend of mine has two and a parts car. Those cars have so much more things on them that can go wrong, and do, that it makes them a lot more harder to work on. This kid couldn't even fix his poor Fiero because it was too complicated for him. I wonder what made him think he could even begin to tackle a 300. Plus he was complaining about Fiero parts being expensive. Wait till he gets his first repair bill on the 300. To each his own. He he wants to leave, good riddance.

Oh relax (except for the slam on "poor mans sports car - that was uncalled for). I bought an 83 Mustang GT when I was 17 (shuttup it was in 84) for the same damn reasons - thought I was the sh1t in that thing. First the insurance was more than the payment. Next, my weekly paycheck would barely cover one tire replacement, forget anything really serious. Hell I was spending every dime I made just to have that car and nothing left over.

Next thing you know I was sporting a 63 Bel Air 4-door and heaving a sigh of relief on my insurance and maintenance. And I was just as damn cool in that one, just don't even think about racing it (tired 283 2-bbl/Powerglide).

He'll learn... some of us just learn the hard way
