Want them to be responsible, give them responsibility. Of course that's my opinion now that I dont have kids and things will most likely change, but it worked with me years ago.

will you be my dad? =)

well my father had to borrow money too to buy his GT-R does that mean he cant afford it?

I can afford it but I don't just have 40.000 euro laying around. The only problem I have is that my bank is an ******* and doesn't want to borrow more than 25000 for a car.

And he didn't GIVE it to me. I am paying him back together with the bank. what is the problem with that?

Have you installed aftermarket head unit?

Sounds like a batter terminal might be loose or something is shorting.

Nope, the only aftermarket part I bought was the stillen CAI.

I still havent put them on. No time, these days im going to customers or going to measure up rooms untill 10PM, im rarely home at 8 pm haha

i see... i'd take the car in and let the dealer figure it out. make sure you ask for a loaner when you setup your appointment so they dont give you a run around when you arrive.

:iagree: If my kids wanted something nice and they want to pay me monthly, I'd probably buy it for them. But if they miss payment, their car will be taken away replaced with a Honda Civic. :tup: That'll teach them responsibility.

Oh they are going to check it out while changing my oil, they were going to do a top to bottom checkup anyway since il be racing at francorchamps on the 9th so I want the car ready.

But yeah when they installed the CAI they offered me a micra :rofl2: but yeah they lolled and said that I can pick which one I wanted but I figured I shoudl stay there incase they don't understand something.

but this will be the awesome bit about the oil change. if the GT-R and/or 370 roadster are there and there are no test drives planned I can pick one of them. totally the roadster

What is so bad about civics anyway? Most people think they are pretty nice. :ugh2: Went to a honda tuning meeting. twas hilarious but I did see one nice engine 3.0 V6 VTEC repainted in blue with a massive air intake and apparently custom turbo charged forgot what car though

I couldn't resist yelling "VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO"

they cheered :inoutroflpuke:

Vegitto-kun 06-01-2010 04:40 PM

Apparently not haha.

I actually had to drive past them about 5 times. once I couldn't find a parking spot, then I left to pick up a friend, went back, left again and went again and then left

I lolled at them pointing and going "OMG OMG OMG"

I treated them to slight drift and 7500 shifting I really regretted not having my CBE and LTH

Agreed, it will force them to find a good steady job and not party all their money away. Can't make payments for the month? Can't drive it for the month. Sorry bud, but you get to stare at it everyday when you grab your bicycle or watch me take it out for a spin. If at the same time I can manage to find some healthy common ground that we both like and can connect through AND help them build credit while we're at it then why not.

I gotta say it would have to be AWD though, young kids are much too dumb to drive RWD as their first car..

Most of what I drove as a teen were RWD cars. And I was rather dumb, but I survived and learned a ton about what to do and what not to do.

The first car I bought myself was FWD, though, in order to get hither and thither in wet weather better.

Vegitto-kun 06-01-2010 05:14 PM

im young and I survive driving around in a RWD car but im not a crazy driver, sure I can floor it once in a while but that is quite rare and in places without building or trees or anything dangerous. going sideways is the same
