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.

Wow. Pizza delivery guy buying a car....

And further trying to pat himself on the back.....

I don't think I need to comment further.

Dude, nobody on this forum ever had a fast car at a young. And I'm positive there's no one that did it self funded

Yeah... he not only BOUGHT the 350z car all by himself (AND made 60 bucks EVERY night, mind you... EVERY night.

), he also modded these so-called "cars" into 12 second cars.

Wow.

Wait, I just woke up.

For a minute there I thought I was in Inception.

12's in a 4 cyl isn't bad.
lol haters. I'm not bragging. This thread is called "what did you drive before your 370z" right? 60 a night plus min wage actually ads up. I was making like 1,500 a month...that's plenty for a car payment when you still live at home and have no other bills.. and I didn't buy it all by myself. My parents did co-sign. And being a pizza boy is awesome...but shortly after I got my Z I got a job as a graphic designer so I wouldn't have to deliver in a z...not sure anyone has ever done that but it just seems wrong.

You're bragging and you dont even know it - you wanted some record for having 6 cars, 2 of which were in the 12's and you're only 19. Just because you said you arent bragging, doesnt mean your first post didnt strongly imply that.

Nothing personal, but looking at the pretty house in your pictures give us all the answers. And how much of those tips did you pay taxes on anyway?

You obviously had a nice little booster seat to ride on courtesy of your parents - between being given cars, them co-signing a loan, living with them and probably not paying for jack, and no DOUBT giving you plenty more to go with it. But its ok, nobody's going to judge you on that - its nice to be raised in a family thats well off. Everyone who grew up in the lower-middle class world is jealous of that. Just dont come in here saying what you did, and think anyone's going to buy your story 100% lol.

Well say whatever you think. Pick on the kid I guess. Yeah my parents are well off but that house was only 90k and my dad built it..and they didn't give me any money if that's what you're thinking. I payed for everything I had then, except food, living and clothes. I paid cell phone, car payment, insurance... I assume any family nowa days will at least give their kids that. You're acting like your mom made you pay for everything down to your toothpaste? Jeez...if you had it hard you don't have to take it out on me. I am living on my own now and pay for everything, but my mom still buys me a little something on my birthday

does that still make me a rich kid? lol I don't even make enough to afford to eat out with my girlfriend lol :/ My Z is more than 60% of my income.
Oh and I didn't pay any taxes on my tips.. The boss at that time didn't make us record our tips or mileage. He is fired now lol

shumby · 07-02-2011, 05:22 PM

lol paid for everything but food living and cloths. well that is about everything a real person needs to pay for. OMG thisa si too funny.

I was just trying to say I've payed for my cars.

shumby · 07-02-2011, 05:26 PM

no you did not pay for the car. your parents are subsidizing your life style.

If I made the payments to the bank for the loan for the car...is that not me paying for my car?

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.
