I just gotta ask - what do you guys do to get the 350 at 17? Part time jobs? Saving since 12?

40K+ cars is just not the norm where I'm from at that age. Props though!

I know - "kids" driving Ferrari's here too. Boggles my mind.

Inheritence / Real Estate / Stocks are my guesses.

it's far simpler...

my dad <3 cars...lol

we've been with lexus for over 10 years, my car is the 6th lexus we have owned. he saw the billboard for the is350 being "the fastest car in its class" and just followed the hype. it really just comes down to my dad being a car fanatic. he loves watches, speakers, and cars. period. when my brother was 16 he got a brand new 2GS300, that was 4 years ago...because he found out that they started using mark levinson in lexus cars, haha combining basically 2 of his favorite things in life. now we ordered the 335i, that will be for my brother, but he's paying for it this time. he is now 20, and can handle paying it himself. but my dad is in between getting the new LS460L or an ///M5 right now...currently he drives the LS430 UL pkg, 05 i think. he just loves cars, especially lexus, but recently he has taken a liking to bmw and porsche.

that's really all there is to it. he just trusts both me and my brother not to eff up..i know, ive heard it a million times, im a lucky kid.

Pocky,

Not sure if I can make it.. G/F's birthday on that same day.

Btw, drive north on Garfield, look right at this little bodyshop looking place.. and next to that is a place called ProMax. Every weekend, you'll see SL65, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and last weekend I saw a Mercedes SLR. All driven by young people, no older than 20-25 years old.

Ahh I see. That's cool man. Understandable.

Promax? I know the owner. I knew him for many years. Yeah, they have high roller cars. Heck, he drives the white SL55 AMG. He has many high end cars. I don't talk to him anymore though.

due to reasons beyond my control, i'm now iffy on this mini-meet. for now, take me off the list, and if i show up consider it a surprise (or me crashing the party). many apologies all around.

but if i do show up, i'll bring some al & ed's "xtreme rides" 2k7 calendar (ebay item link) with me. just happened to get my hands on a few of these for free, and i'd be more than happy to share them w/ you all...

that is, if i make it.
