Message	If your parents are paying for everything, gas, insurance etc, I see no reason to get rid of the Z. I agree with what someone previously said, if you can't afford the gas and maintenance of a premium car, buy a beater! Then, keep the Z as a weekend driver/project car. That's what I did. And, if you don't have a job already, get one! I'm barely 18 and in college, but I work 40+ hours a week. Thanks to my parents letting me live here through some of my college, and a job I'm good at I can afford my 03 G35 as my DD. Granted, I'm not getting 25+ mpg, but I have a powerful engine that's easy to mod and a blast to drive....on top of a Z which is in the beginning of a twin-turbo conversion. And the idea of an S4. Forget it, unless you find a steal. Cheapest I found locally was 25k.
