No matter what I type in here it gets taken the wrong way because people want to always have a certain out look on a 19 year old with a sports car. Sorry if I sounded like a spoiled kid, I was in no way, shape, or form trying to brag about my dads salary, just use it as a example how everyone's situation is not the same. It's his life and he worked hard to get there and I can only hope to be half as successful.

Peace

i was only kidding! :tup: but you do sound like someone that misses his dad a lot. go visit him and your mom when you can. :hello:

Yeah I do, Work with a 24 hour flight makes it pretty tough. lol I thought you were serious, I had the honor of using the pit, and it was a great experience to say the least. Luckily I did not have to take a **** because it looked like it would take some skill to clean that mess up.

:iagree: i wouldn't mind getting stuff for free, nobody would. I can honestly appreciate my car more because I worked for it and paid with my own money. Different families have different values and there is nothing wrong with giving your son or daughter a gift. But if you want them to succeed in life and become a truly good down to earth person, lessons hold more value. To earn something is up to individual interpretation, so it's up to you to decide. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. It doesn't matter if it's getting good grades or working 3 jobs. We've all come to expect anyone who's parents earn a lot for a living to have kids of the Paris Hilton variety. Those who are just plain dumb useless members of society and don't "earn" anything. Not everyone with affluent parents are like that. Just loose the attitude and appreciate what you have.

Did yours come with the hose attached? the one I used did, it seemed to have a high pressure so I would think it would be pretty painful but who knows.

I agree its all up to personal interpretation, I have friends who drive beaters that there parents bought them and have their tuiton payed for and they skip class every single day and bomb courses. Tuiton and living is 20k a year so I don't understand it, I think that is a perfect example of being spoiled over getting a nice car, when you can slack when someone is picking up a 20k a year bill for you.

For some reason in society it is wrong for a kid to get a nice gift from their parents but ok for a kid to take 80k in college tuiton, party their *** off, graduate with a 2.0 and call it a day. There is way less back lash and I dont know why

Look, if you can't use a pit toilet, then you can't appreciate what you've been given or what you have, and therefore you should not enjoy any extra attention that a 370Z can earn you around town. QED.

I don't like attention that much in my z.
It's actually annoying especially when the honda heads go all vtec kicked in yo mode...
I especially hate it when people touch my damn z.

WHAT! I have never been to Germany but if this is the truth I might have to make a trip.

I know a bunch of germans but they all use the regular toilet, not a pit. So it looks like im out of luck
