1. 1980 GM Cutlass Supreme - (bought off my old man for $1, then repaired it, then sold it) - age 16
2. 1995 240sx (still own) - age 18
3. 2004 G35 6MT - (still own) age 21
4. 1993 240sx (new project car) - age 22

I bought all my cars with my own money. No help from my parents whatsoever. Parents taught me that if there's anything that I want, I've got to work for it. . .and work for it i did. . .

. . .also this way of raising me brought me to appreciate the things i own and take good care of them. . .

You know what I get when I get a "A" in school now? My company refunds my tuition... Seriously, no one give a *** about your high school gpa.

Jealous? Of what? You have accomplished nothing and have nothing to show.

PS. I know a great airport you should take the Z for a run at.
I love how you think you are so funny. Perhaps of you could write, or at least spell, people may take you more seriously. I feel that you are jealous because you did not have a Z as your first car (or something of that caliber) and therefore you stereotype the whole to make your actions seem justified. Indeed there are stupid teenagers, but are there not stupid adults?

I don't think I'm that too terribly funny, but a few other members do. I don't care if people take me seriously, I'm here for entertainment only. And where was my spelling incorrect? I'm not here to write an A+ essay, I'm done with English and writing classes.

I'm not jealous. I think the kids and their parents are pretty dumb, and it's entertaining to joke on them as they usually get all butt hurt and whine about it. Sure there are stupid adults, just check out Fowlman and 1337, but you kids today truly take the cake when it comes to the sheer amount of stupid people. Congrats!

Well, I am glad that you feel that way. But I take better care of my Z than any body else I know that has one (and I know a lot of Z owners).

Where did you get 309 HP and why does it say you live in New Hampshire?

That is hp to the crank...not wheels. 287 + 11 (intake) + 4 (radiator shroud) + 5 (performance grounding) + and racing fluids...

And it says New Hampshire because some kid on there said he was going to come to my house...and I did not want that. LOL

thats too funny, you think you actually got 20 HP with those mods? theres no d*mn way you got 11 HP with an intake, manufacturers always claim large amounts of HP but you only really get 1 or 2. Do you have a dyno slip to prove that claim? and performance grounding doesn't give you HP, and I hardly doubt the shroud gave you any either.

grounding = zero horsepower
racing fluids = frees up horsepower (what fluids??? oil???)
