i bought the z as a presant to me...never looked back it was kind of a haha i can do it to the rents and also a y not while im young since soon enough ill be maired and not have the time or money to spare for it.

i know 2 kids in my school that got handed a z for first cars 1 crashed now drives a civic and the other caused a crash killing 2 kids recently

i feel that since i bought it myself i take more care than as if it was handed...but i still even myself feel that its a far strech to have the car at my age...i chose to work instead of college and i have to admit i landed a good job for not haveing any degree but its all because of who i knew...i would never had bought the car if i didnt have the position im in now...but i love every second of it...ive gotten alot of **** for getting the car but im happy and not looking back

you sound like a smart kid, unfortunately you cant grow up if youre not raised.

Rich kids are spoiled, it will always be that way. I was given my Chevette 180K miles on it, but had to pay for the gas, maintenance and my mom difference in the insurance. I worked two jobs, because my mom always worked two jobs raising my little bro and I.

All I know how to do is hustle and now that I am a Senior IT Security professional most of the folks cant handle my hustler mentality. I push the salarly evelope to the max always justify and explaining why I deserver twice as what he or she makes. I never get half, but 1.5 times isnt so bad either lol.

FYI I also built planes in the Air Force for over 6 years. I stripped down, xrays, and rebuilt F111s and F15s.

 

You sir are my hero.

Glad they got rid of the Aardvark though, it was ugly.

 

You technically can't take care of anything good, and your dad should have invested in some engrish classes, not a 350z.

 

cool story brah.. and yes some ''engrish'' classes.

 

I think he should have just invested in higher quality condoms.

 

 

I almost spit out my coffee - well played sir!
Is it just me or does anyone think that that zzzboy has not read back though the old posts in this thread?

 

It's not you Perf...

 

see i feel you grow up quicker when you grow up poor...my rents have fought to keep the house and support me and my two sisters my whole life...there was never a easy going moment...just as you said you always worked harder being brought up watching it...and yeah i work maybe 50 hrs a week to afford the car and expenses comfortably...its a rough time but its worth it to me

 

easy killer that thing was pig but a beast. Low level high speed it couldnt be touched and OMG that payload.

It could hold more weight in bombs than an F16 fully loaded with bombs and gas.

it was like a B52 with twin turbos. LOL

rumor has it there are a few floating around with the kangaroos.

my wife grew up CHEAP not POOR so we always differ in opinion with money. They didnt ever get anything because they had a cheap step dad, but lived in a 6 bedroom house. LOL M lil bro, of 6 years, and I shared a room in a two bedroom apartment, with our Mom until I joined the Air Force at age 17. He is now in the Air Force. (smart kid)

My car has been through hell and back. 4 engines, 3 car pile up, two colors, 6 versions of supercharged power, but hey its mine, i bought it daum near new w 3K miles for 38K (G35 with roof and nav 6mt, sport package) so even though I spend mad loot on the car. I appreciate ever second of it.

so spending 6K on an Alaskan cruise was nice, but 6K on my blower (with mods) has lasted 4 years not 7 blissful days. lol

tomato, tomaaato
