Well this is going to be my last post for tonight as I have other things to attend to.
Anyway, why would I say those things when they have never happened? I can say I had a gun pointed at my head, and I can say it did scare the **** out of me but I'm not going to start implying things to try and prove anything.
And once again, I am not bragging about anything; and again it was my opinion and I did not intend for this to drag on; but it will as long as you and others like to keep bringing up my first post over and over.
Personally I would rather not discuss so many aspects that I find personal, but since you asked...
As much as I can remember, it pained me to see that ends never met growing up; rent never on time; aunts and uncles chasing my family down for borrowed minimal amounts of money to pay rent; me and my brother attending something like a summer school annually to get free lunch and so we wouldn't waste money while being at home.
But I guess you can get the picture as this is as much as I would like to reveal. Also I never assumed everyone had that silver spoon. It's just my way of saying how the ignorant people probably grew up with it and therefore cannot believe that there are actually people who do the stuff they post. However I'm not saying there aren't any liars as I know there are many.
So I guess you can load up on whatever I just posted

So you are saying that anyone that grows up having their needs met are ignorant to what some poor people have to do to make it? Most of the people who work for me have and grew up with little. I have heard many stories and seen many of their hardships. I'm not saying I understand from first hand experience, but what do you want, a pity party? You come on here sounding like you want us to believe you are a Mafia hit-man, then wonder why you get the responses you get? As I have said, I realize you have had to resort to illegal activity to provide a better life for you and your family and I don't expect you to admit you sell dope on the internet. Me personally, I would have left that part out. Thats all I'm saying.
You say that all you wanted to do was offer your opinion. Thats cool, offer your opinion and quit whining about your upbringing and trying to use it to justify illegal activity. The first opinion that you offered is that kid's should not leave home at 18 or what not. I have no problem with that. 18 is still young, but just be real and don't try to convince others that you are accomplishing everything alone.
Hraes is right about the way you come off sounding. My line was exaggerated, but you get the point. You shouldn't alter the way you choose to communicate just to impress a stranger. We don't care about your big words. Look at what we are used to seeing. Go through a few of xlopezx and moncada90's post and you will see what I am talking about. We are happy to see people get "there" and "to" right with a period here and there.

I worked at a restaurant making $18 an hour. I also bought 3 pre-built cars, 73 383 nova, 02 347 stroker foxbody, 00 pre runner built ranger, and parted all the aftermarket parts out. I then returned them to stock and sold them for more than i bought them for. After moving on from all those cars i was left with about 11k in the bank for my down payment.
I like to enjoy myself, i dont spend money on things besides my cars so why do you care? I still make enough to live comfortably and not worry about my bills. I dont have my own place but i live 4 miles away from my college so why not just stay at home.
I paid for my 4x4 suzuki samurai cash and only owe 9k on my Z. In a few years ill have 2 cars paid off, one for the street and one for dirt. Im very happy with my financial decisions. although it has set me back a little bit i enjoy what ive spent my money on.

Wow, this keeps getting better. Great revival of an otherwise dying thread.
I love this!
When trying to impress people with your above average vocabulary make sure you're using a real word. The word you're searching for is "converse". You impress nobody.
Something got me thinking here. I will provide the evidence and let everyone else decide for themselves.
Bend over,boy. You're about to wish it was a hot curling iron!!!!
Here we observe them making the same grammatical error that is not very common amongst adults.
Both brag about making 12 an hour, even though they are typed differently
Here we see them both claiming to be in charge of a floor at 19.
This is a long shot, but it sounds to me that he just changed the name of the car and said mom instead of dad in case anyone remembered.
Here we see them insulting poor Hraes in very similar fashion. I don't think Hraes has even mentioned his parties since the time when Lopez was annoying everyone.
Pic of Lopez I found on Myspace that has since been deleted.
Pic of Moncada. Looks like the same guy to me. The sunglasses throw it off a little, but I will let you guys decide. Obviously has has got a new Amuse bumper and some ugly rims.
Pic in Lopez's profile. Look at the car,the eyelids, the tire tracks, and also the clouds and the trees are the same. His others that matched were deleted.
Looks the same to me and there were other pic from this photoshoot on Lopez's profile, but thet are gone now.
[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Owner/Pictures/engine%20bay%20xl.jpg[/IMG]
Here's a pic off Lopez's Myspace of the engine bay that is identical with the Nismo strut bar and K&N intake, but I cant get it to come up.
Which one should we believe?
Neither one ever capitalizes a sentence but tend to capitalize peoples names.
If anyone agrees with me, I strongly feel this deserves a trip to the ol sandbox.

I love this! You're correct and wrong at the same time. When I'm trying to conversate with people I thought to be mature I always use "big words". I do this to people in college, at work, and everyone else I find to be mature as I personally don't want to be viewed as a little kid. If I were to speak like an immature child how fast of a pissing contest would this of turned out to been? Yes I don't always talk like this to friends which I've known for many years; however as I started to use my head more, I started to phase out immaturity in speaking and with people who I acquaint myself with. Yes at times I use profanity or say racist or stupid things; but I grew up in the city where everything is multicultural and it isn't easy not picking things up as you age in the same environment your whole life. But are you trying to say you don't have 2 sides to how you speak to certain people? If you believe this you are lying to yourself.
Would you perfer me speaking like an e thug when I'm trying to prove something? Should I belittle myself so I can never progress in life?

That is a very scary thought, but we will have a unlimited supply of entertainment. I now have a wonderful collection of wrecked Z's.....some are quite spectacular. They are much better drivers than us, so their wrecks are much more interesting to look at than our rare fender benders. As an example I have one of a 350Z in a tree...not at the base, but IN THE TREE. How many of you can do that???

Nah, $18 an hour sounds fair, I worked in a restaurant as a waiter while I was in college and on busy nights it wasn't uncommon to pull in $20+ an hour.

98 Honda Civic (2002 First Car)
01 GSXR-750 (2006 totalled in 09 due to 85 year old guy cutting me off)
03 350Z (06 still have)
95 Jeep Wrangler (10 Winter car)
I got my 350z when I was 19 after I picked up a job working at a Credit Union. I wish I had waited until after I finished college. Owning it has delayed me going back and finishing. If I could go back I would have kept the civic and got a Z after I graduated.

Here's what I get. You had this horrible childhood that you are bitter about and it is just too painful to discuss and you went out selling dope and killing for hire in order to make a better life for yourself. You stockpiled all this money while loaning it to friends and are now going to college to better yourself. I get the story.
So you are saying that anyone that grows up having their needs met are ignorant to what some poor people have to do to make it? Most of the people who work for me have and grew up with little. I have heard many stories and seen many of their hardships. I'm not saying I understand from first hand experience, but what do you want, a pity party? You come on here sounding like you want us to believe you are a Mafia hit-man, then wonder why you get the responses you get? As I have said, I realize you have had to resort to illegal activity to provide a better life for you and your family and I don't expect you to admit you sell dope on the internet. Me personally, I would have left that part out. Thats all I'm saying.

The first opinion that you offered is that kid's should not leave home at 18 or what not.

If trying to answer other's interest/ questions is trolling then by all means call me a troll.
And conversate isn't a word? Maybe it's considered not a word/ slang to you but go look it up. Conversate is the act of conversing. And again, if using words in a post impresses you; I can't imagine what a female can do to you when they stand near you or guy, however you role.

+10000.
Colin, how much do these drivers make? I am going to guess they make decent to the point that they can't go to Burger King and make more. My point is that they have a gravy train job and most of them are not going to jeapordize that.
How many fights have you had to break up? How many times a day do you get to hear complaining about the rate of pay, then have to convince them to go out and give you 100%? How many really good employees do you have to convince not to leave and work at minimum wage while doing a job that is worth much more while you are knowing they will be advanced eventually and it will be worth their while. The company is just slow about doing it. Most people dont have patience. How many employees do you deal with that don't really need the job and just work as a cover? Imagine having to convince a man that knocks down 1500 a day selling dope to bust his a$$ for minimum wage while at the same time trying to convince him to leave that life behind before its too late. Have you ever had to fire someone that has 3 kids at home already struggling? Not a good feeling. Keep in mind that even though your dad was in the hospital, he was there to answer any question you had or tell you how to handle things. You weren't making all of the decisions necessary to keep that company running. You had someone to turn too.
How many of your employees have you helped to better themselves in any way. Its as much about preparing for their next step in life and providing with the necessary tool so that they can go on past the level they are at now as it is giving orders.
