My first car was an 03 E46 330ci. I was 16 at the time and my parents bought it for me. I supercharged the car and was involved in a seriously bad accident a few months ago and the car was totaled. I did pay for all of my performance mods. I am currently looking into an IS-F at 18 and I just failed 3/5 classes at my community college. My dad's rich, not like I'm going to say no....

This is before the 92 Prelude, right? IS-F, hmmmm that's a big jump up from the 1992 SC300 you were buying last week.

Guys let's keep this conversation civil and not throw out obvious bait for arguments and flaming.

Lol, caught me red handed. Yeah, I was just pulling your legs.


On a side note, I live in a very wealthy part of Georgia. Some of my closest friends are driving C6's, G35's, Terminators, S-classes, one even has an LS430. I have to say though, the only one who does not deserve it because of his extreme cockiness drives an e46 M3. Go figure.

That's a bit sad....

It is kind of sad, good thing I love so many cars. I mean I have to love the car of course, but especially when you plan to mod a car it is a serious investment and it is good to have a community to talk to who knows what they are talking about and have experince with the make and model of car. I just think no matter how you try to act you are defined by your group. For example driving around in my eclipse I have been pulled over many times for nothing because of the reputation of kids street racing their eclipses. While driving around in my IS300 I have not been bothered and I like that. I also think that you want to be with a group of people that likes what you like and behaves the way you do.

How was a thread hating young people with nice cars going to be civil in the first place?



I've been around for a while; these threads always end poorly.
