Talking GTR as 18th bday present? GET IN EARLY FAIL THREAD

http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.p...ic=250499&st=0

Some girl claimed she got a GTR for her 18th bday.

When called upon, she claimed she lives in Norway.

When called upon again due to the background car has American plates, she post link to hotel with some weird language.

When the translation was found, it was some stupid security warning on the elevator in a random hotel and not what she was claiming lol.

*waits for the epic fail thread*

Wow, that black GT-R is just badass.

That looks a lot more like Florida than Norway...

A GTR for an 18 year old in Norway? Highly unlikely since the taxation on high performance new cars there would double its list price.

would actually be more than double. A 45k Audi TT here costs like 110-115k USD in Norway according to some of the Norwegians on my project. During xmas, a TON of them come down to the US to do shopping.

You're probably right - we get loads of Norwegians coming off the ferries to do their shopping for Christmas every Saturday. I think it's a bit of a tradition - their Viking ancestors rowed over here for a bit of raping and pillaging - now they only pillage the malls and give the raping a miss.
