Turned 18 in 2004 and got a 1984 honda civic. Paid it off with my first job working at starbucks. Sold that and used it against a used 2000 Corolla base model. After that I got into business with my dad, own my own house, married and own a wonderful 350z and 911 carrera S along with a 2008 Tundra to haul my toys lmao.

"closed road" they started alot of construction for houses new naborhoods new roads when the economy was booming now since its doing so bad they stopped making them and clossed off all the roads now there is a .76 miles of a 4 laned road with perfectly smooth asphalt and no turns. and the guy who lost the car also owns a porche carrera 4 and a gt3 that he trailers to sebring raceway. so pretty much the guy is loaded and was pissed that he lost but there was nothing he could do since there was a notary there and witnesses from both partys once he lost on the last race it was a done deal.
