I've owned two cars that ran 12's before I was 18... owned 6 altogether and not even 20 yet. No record for me?

You earn the "Most Money Received from Parents" record :-p

And either way, 12's are nothing.

My parents bought my first car..the civic. I wasn't satisfied. So I got a Job as a pizza hut delivery driver and made 60 bucks in tips every night.. and then bought a 350z. My dream car at the time. That's the only car they helped me with.

And 12's up here where I live is fast with the altitude as high as it is. Cobras don't even run 12's here.

Grats, I had a 1989 Geo Spectrum given to me from my dad, which was totalled out within a year due to frame rust. Then I bought everything by myself after that w/o any help.

Only point Im making is, grats on having things handed to you, but dont try to brag about it.

And 12's are still pretty slow regardless of altitude :-p

I teared up a little bit there...truly is the American dream. Wait a minute...I think I hear Tom Hanks calling to produce an HBO miniseries chronicling the life and times of pizza boy done right

My parents didn’t buy me my first car, had they done so I would have been satisfied with whatever I got. Must have pissed off mom and dad a bit when you went off and sold the car they bought you. In a few years when you actually have some expenses you are going to look back and be pretty pissed at how much money you frivolously threw away at cars and stuff. If you were my kid you'd be paying me rent right about now. And for the record I’m not much older than you, and that attitude you have I think is pretty foolish.

You're exactly right. I kick my self in the butt everyday for selling that car that was given to me for FREE. I wish I would have kept it all along but I was foolish, and my parents were really pissed and pretty much disowned me for awhile. I ended up selling the 350z because I couldn't afford the payments. Yeah I wasn't too smart. Then I got a stable job and decided to try again..that's when I bought the 370. Oh how I would love to not have a car payment...and all the money I've spent on past cars.. I could probably have my z payed off right now. yep. live and learn. should have listened to dad

Man, I sure wish my free Geo Spectrum passed the NY inspection the following year. I'd have driven the living crap out of that car. Mechanically it was perfect...but my dad barely drove it in the winter, and well...its Geo quality haha. So that sucker rusted in no time. Man, it was a 5-speed, great on gas, and a fun little hatchback. I'd have driven it into the ground...which I suppose I did.

Pics or it didn't happen. Not to mention I'm sure there's plenty of people with more "braggable" past or current stables, they just have the taste and class not to make a big deal out of it. Congrats on being an extra in The Fast and Furious, your parents must be proud.
