I find it funny that you guys are giving me or anyone else a hard time. I gave you no reason to be angry yet you showed much aggression/anger towards me. Whatever, I'll be the bigger man and step down, even though I didnt do anything to you guys. Happy holidays.

Same here. Some great tech info but 90% of the content is this kind of infantile drivel. Sad that most of it in this particular thread comes from the 'grown-ups'.

You should take a moment to search for the many, many threads that relate to teens either totaling their cars or ricing them out with ebay crap.
This thread wasn't created on a myth, regardless of what you may think. It's not to say that EVERY teen is this way, just the majority.
Some may seem more cruel than others, but after a while of dealing with, "I'm different, I did it all on my own and am the best driver... blah blah blah", we'd rather skip the general intro and get right to the good stuff.

LoL at this thread and at my350. I lurk on here from time to time, but this thread exemplifies everything that is wrong with this site and why I don't post here on a regular basis.
I think that many of you have lost sight of what this, or any other forum, is meant for. Helpful sharing of knowledge and passion for a common hobby? Yes. Cesspool of hatred and outlet for apparently repressed emotions? No.
Carry on.

How do people consider pure entertainment to be sad? Most of the "kids" either end up banned or running away with their tails between their legs

Nope
LOL why are you so angry. I gave you no reason to be angry. You have issues. But, I've always had an interest in cars and I've been researching cars since I was in middle school. I've been a member on supraforums since i was 13 or 14.. what does that have to do with owning a Z as a teen? And to answer your second/third question, we (my parents and I) found this car unexpectedly and we wanted to pick this car up ASAP seeing as how it was a steal but didnt have the full amount of cash up front. So, we borrowed some cash from a family friend and I sold the wheels to pay them back. Simple as that.

At best it's a pretty low form of entertainment and a poor way to foster an online community. At worst it smacks of insecure members who evidently have nothing better to do. But since I do, in fact, have better things to do, this will be my final post in this thread.

Lmfao...
I wonder what justifies his comment then. In his defense however, I have seen a lot of 4 and 6 year enlistees join only for school money and gtfo...
Wasn't my case to begin with, but I had deployed every year since 2004 and I was a little tired of it. Watching people get to stay home because of whatever lame excuse and because I was the young single guy, I was volun(told).
The old school mentality is what causes the young guys to act the way they do. Everyone had a military obligation and just because you had been in 8+ years doesn't give you a free pass to skip out on deploying.
So...I do less than I did when I was active duty, make twice as much money and I'm not out on the aircraft ramp in the elements.
And the best part is...I have a counterpart that retired from the air force after 22 years and he makes the same exact money as I do...lol.
6 years military experience vs 22 years doesn't mean shiit in the real world. Service is service is service to most emplyers.

Speaking of Sina, did anyone see his post in the near death thread where he said if he weren't so big, the doctor wouldn't have been talking to him after the accident? Made me LOL bad, of course the doctor wouldn't be talking to him because he would have been able to run away from the Vette!
