This guy was at an xceedspeed.com car meet/BBQ last Saturday. I saw him and his car there. As an aside, I wouldn't pay additional money for the silver. Anyway, I think this guy just came into the country about 6 months ago from China to attend MSU. He apparently wrecked the car on his way out of the Metropark where the meet/BBQ was held.

He is new student attending MSU, i live on campus and the car sits at a shop where my buddy works. The car has no frame damage (no idea how) and is being repaired at Youngs body shop. Ill get the call when its done so i can personally meet him there when he picks it up to slap him in the face before he takes the keys again

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

$43k? Only? Those body panels, especially the doors are farking pricey.

Call me crzy, but I thought the doors were $10k a pop? The a-frame damage,
roof and assoc. pillars too? Sounds like his carrier got a good deal if that
price is accurate.

Idiot in an expensive car. Age has nothing to do with it. IQ has EVERYTHING to do with it.

its more of maturity issue, a 20 year old has no business driving a car with that much power

Oh boy..gee I guess you are right, older people make more stupid mistakes than younger people. Lets see how you think after living a few more years & gain more experience.

Once a moron always a moron.. I'm plenty "experienced" guy, unfortunately I grew up with a couple rich kids. GTR for a 20yr old ... how about a 18yr old with a 800whp supra.. he still owns it and hes 26 now. 21yr old with a viper GTS.. still has it. 22yr old with a graduation gift of a Porsche turbo.. yea sold it for a ZR1 2months ago. This is car life.. NOT real life. As for "experience" living life... volunteer to come work overseas as a civilian and not military and then we can talk about "experience".

That's what happens when people think they are playing Need for Speed in the real world. I love when I press the select button and the damage disappears.

what does being a civilian and going overseas have to do with your experience? i have quite a few friends that volunteer for civilian overseas work and it's no big deal. You'll get more life experience being military than civilian. All they do overseas is the same thing they did here in the states. When you go over military it's a totally different ballgame than what you do here in the US.
