So as none of you know (since I don't post here much)...I have been working my ***** off for extra cash to afford me the Touring package Z...I only had the cash for base. I went home from college this weekend for my birthday, and whaddya think was sitting in the driveway...



My parents dropped the extra cash on me and picked up the car! I was so damned excited. I took it everywhere, got tons of interesting comments from people hanging around New Orleans for Mardi Gras I now also have a handful of cash I earned the hard way to dispose of on accessories and mods!

I will be writing up some sort of review soon -- my previous car was a Boxster S, and since a lot of folks seem to compare the two I figure it'd be a good writeup.

I just finished getting back to school in the car, which now has about 925 miles on it! I am loving every minute of it, although it is a much different car than the Boxster S

Comparison/Review to follow!

 

can't wait to hear your review!
that musta been a hellovah suprise for you!!!
but I know nothing like that will happen to me since I have to buy everything myself~

by the way post some pics of it soon if you can and share it with us!


have fun with the car!

 

You aren't even 20 and your last car was a Boxster S. Lucky man.

 

ditto... but congrats man! My dad suprised me too.. thought we were just gonna check out the car then next thing i know i'm driving it home. but update us on that review... gonna be interesting

 

if you sold the Boxster, shouldn't that have been more than enuf to pay for a Touring??

looking forward to the reveiw

 

how would he get home to the z then?

sell a car then drive it some more i guess

 

Didn't sell it. My old lady drives it now :P I think that's why she was so happy to pay off the touring package

When I go home for spring break in 2 weeks I will match up the cars for some photos!

I will work on the review later tonight.

 

Very cool, make sure you take your parents out for a nice dinner with some of that left over money ;-)

 

I went straight out and bought my mom a massive thing of flowers

 

Congrats on your new Z. Sounds like you've got some great parents, and sounds like you really appreciate them.

Good story. Drive safe!

Consider yourself lucky being rich...and spoiled.

 

Congrats!

I wish somebody bought me a Z!

But then, life would be boreing...

 

I do! But I'd rather not get into a financial pie flinging contest because it makes everyone look like a 5-year old. I'm on these forums because I like you folks and this car a lot, I'm not here to brag about anything in particular.

That aside, I'm going to get on writing that review...cheers!

 

Congrats man, enjoy her..... Don't sweat what others are saying about being spoiled, cuz if the tables were turned NO ONE would complain about gettin a new car as a gift......

OT, take some bewbie pics from Mardi Gras for us.....

Congrats, have a great time with your new car. When I was 16 my dad gave me a big surprise too. He has his own dealership and there was this used Honda I wanted, he surprised me and only charged me cost(every penny of my paper route money).

 

Well I for one say it is kick *** your parents buy you car like this!! As for being rich and spoiled I say Congrats! You don't seem to be spoiled as you where working for the money to get the car. As for being rich I wish I was!! Anyways Congrats!

 

wow, my dad is partners in some dealers as well, I got a 76 beetle for 2000, later I got a 88 CRX for cost (invoice) LOL
