Well i don't see how any of the information I have state would hurt me. I don't really feel that I am 'bragging' when I am bringing up relevant information on whether i should get the GT-R or not where cost and savings/revenue is a huge part of that. Now if I went around mentioning it in random threads well yeah I could see how that would be bragging.

It seems like the older people are the more they take offense to someone discussing compensation. I know for a lot of people that are closer to my age they don't care it all but it depends on the person of course.. That said as a whole the younger age-group seems to care a lot less.

Anyway I am going do to Tustin tonight to test drive the GT-R and make my decision over the next day or two. Thanks for everyone who provided input!

You've posted way too much info and are expecting some ego stroking. Otherwise you would have been a whole lot less specific about things. It's pretty classless, and to pass it off as something younger people do is asinine. Unless your point is that younger people as a whole these days are lacking in good sense and decorum, in which case I'd agree with you.

i'm probably part of that younger demographic but i met some high school kids online and we became friends on facebook and some of the things they post are pretty shocking/awful, i didn't even realize kids that young knew some of those things

I will admit I do have a young person mentality in a lot of ways but I did actually get into computers at a very young age so I also primarily used DOS when started using computers. Windows 95 was actually new when I built my first one after a couple years of starting my interest. I also played all the old dos games when they were new (commander keen, wolf 3d, doom, etc...) which is usually only the case for people I meet in their 40's, heh. But that is probably the limit of anything about me that is older than most. That and I only listen to classic rock (70's/80's, yeah stuff from before I was born).
