Embarrassing number? Not being able to spell "embarrassing" correctly while trying to insult someone is a lot more embarrassing.
Takes a lot of time? Many of us have/had desk jobs where I surfed the internet at work to pass time. Not all of us have the privilege of walking around and posing in front of fire trucks all day.

I see your other whiner post didn't last long. You need to learn a little about respect. I'm not old by no means. Older than you though. Its not about about post counts, its about paving the way in this industry.Where would this forum be if in 2003 the majority of Z owners were 17 barely affording their car payment and insurance. How much of an aftermarket would there be? The Z would be exactly where its headed now,becoming the new Civic.

I find it funny that a 17 year old wanna be firefighter is trying to knock someone who has a Masters in Nuclear Engineering.
Between him and the libs who are so far left that they are falling over I dont know which is worse.

Thats why Im upgrading to a Vette z06 in 2-3 years and giving my Z to my father for christmas or his birthday of that year. I agree the Z is becoming more and more the new present day Civic, and the Z gets WAY TOO MUCH credit on here, which is understandable being that this is a Z forum and for some this is the nicest car they have/will own for a number of reasons. And a few of the older drivers need to learn some respect also sir. Fair is fair. Enforce the rules to all!!!

I didnt want to be in an office all day like my father(accountant) and grandfather(computer engineer), so I chose to pursue a blue collar job that would really help people outside of an office. And they get paid alright too. Your right though, my brothers will be the ones coming in to save you when you go chernobyl or homer simpson. I will never be a nuclear engineer though, you are correct.
I got paid to travel. I'll be traveling a lot more when my initial training is over. And I did emergency response for 5 years. I've been in far more hazardous environments than your brothers. Have they responded to a radioactive and corrosive gas release? I have. By myself.
UF6 gas releases are not your everyday occurrence. Your brothers wouldn't be allowed to respond to some of the $hit I've seen. Your brothers would probably want to throw some water on a fire, which would kill everyone in the room and contaminate the entire plant.
We can keep this pissing contest up but you'll be the only one soaked.

I almost have my bachelors degree in hand and will be working towards my own masters in public administration shortly. Just because you have a masters degree doesnt mean you have no faults...

Until it happens it is only a dream.
Respect is earned. I don't need to learn anything in that regard.

So when you give your Z to your father what happens if he ends up on this very forum making valid points about the immaturity of most of your generation. Just curious

Wow wait till the real world slaps you in the ***. A masters degree doesnt mean you will be making enough money to buy a Z06. A masters doesnt really mean anything when you first start. You need to earn rank. Wait till you see what it costs to live. Stop living in dream land.

You mean your grandmother is going to give you hers? Where is that old post where I taught you how to talk like a grown man? I guess I have to do it again, big boys speak about what they do have and little bishes (such as yourself) speak about what they will do.
