now...
phone - $20 bc i am on family plan
gym - $35 bc it was a family special
insurance - $100 a month is what my parents are making me pay
car payment is actually going to be $350 a month for 3 years instead...
and paying an additional $100 a month for 2 years on the car
also putting $125 into savings each month

$1100 - $20 - $35 - $100 - $350 - $125 - $100 = $370 left for whatever

so it is possible...

oh and i changed my username for all of u that were hating...
Great! Now let's begin what would've been a normal welcoming!





Hi BlackJack,

Nice ride! Welcome to the forums!

Yeah alright welcome to the boards.

In all reality people here are really not *******s, hell I love this place, but you have to search when you have questions, with 40,000+ members on here I guarantee almost always your question has been answered.


Just dont be a dik, im sure you've already learned that people on here dont like young kids whose parents give them everything because generally those young kids go out and give the Z a bad name with the cops and insurance companies which screws us all.

Nah dude. There are plenty of people on this site who are your age and some even younger who actually take care of their cars very well. They have never been flamed or criticized once. It's just the way you presented yourself. The title, the signature, your SN, everything really. You did all that with the intention of coming off as a person who had everything handed to him. You should just not mention those things when you post up the pics of the car. Just have everything related to the car. Don't talk about how you got it, why you got it, etc. Just that you're happy that you have it and if you have any questions that don't come up in search that you'll ask members in the right sub-forums.

It is nothing but a stale joke. Many cars could have been the brunt.
