So in other words you don't have the money to do afford one? So basically I was right. This what you are hoping/dreaming for.

alright let me lay it out for u.
240sx= drift car
drifting can/is a expensive sport especially buying new clutches and tires and repairing body kits. it adds up and was usually 10-20 events a year when daily drifter was alive and formula d proam qualifying
88 5.0 mustang gt= drag car
i recently blew my 5.0 motor, almost have the money for a 327, drag racing adds up too
my cobalt ss/tc= my daily driver
i gotta pay the insane gas prices
i also have a little girl to support.
after all the expenses above, i still have plenty left over for life in general and for savings.
savings= zr1, i have also mentioned camaro ss and skyline project, but zr1 is first priority
this is why i said i can afford it by next year or so, and im talking about a down payment not full price, i know i didnt mention that. i cant just throw out money right now or ill be shooting myself in the foot twice
better now?

Faith IMO has nothing to do with looking at general things like what we are talking about here. I am by no means "holy roller" and I’ve been to church like 5 times in my whole life but I still believe in god.
Its not the fact that the kid does or doesn’t have wealthy parents but that he thinks that he is going to get and pay for half of $100k sports car which is going for $30-50k+ over sticker. Hell my parents are fairly wealthy too and my dad could probably buy me one too but doesn’t mean he will. Not to mention **** doesn’t add up. He is thinking about a $100k+ ZR1 or a $40k Camaro because insurance is cheaper. So you can afford a $100k but can’t afford the insurance? LOL Plus MOST smart parents don’t buy there kids, especially ones that have already been in an accident, a fast car let alone a super car.
As for my life style and how I was raised and taken care of, I by no means had it rough. I had good parents, a roof over my head, wore nice clothes and ate good meals pretty much the necessities in life. When it came to other stuff it was pretty much up to me, movies, games, ect was stupid in my dads eyes. My dad had me working in his fabrication shop when I was 13 where I made 5.15/hr for 2 years. I had to work my way up just like everybody else or worse for that matter, I was doing the same stuff the guy beside me was doing for 10-15/hr. I was learning to weld by 14 and paint by 16, all of which I still do today.
They bought me my first car and even the GT I own now but I ended up paying them back for the GT when I was 17. I paid for every mod that has went on the car except for the short block which my dad paid 1,500 of that for Christmas one year. The Shelby me and my dad went halves on in Nov 06 and I ended up buying his half last year. I park it at his house most of the time because I don’t have room for it where I live.
To say I had it easy and didn’t work as hard as others is BS. I was treated like an employee at work and at home because as soon as I got done working a 9hr day in the summer I still had to mow the 5acres of lawn and what ever else needed done at the house. To say the least I deserve everything I WORKED HARD to get.

That must be nice getting ur first car and GT from ur parents. Also making that much pay when you were 13 and learning real world experience.
I had a bunch of shitty ass paper routes that didnt pay no where near as much.
$10-15 an hour? Must have been nice too. I was making around $5 an hour back then. 9 hour work days? Try 16 hr work days for me on more occasions then Id like. You havent worked as near as hard as most people out there. And those people make MUCH less pay. You were pampered. You may have worked, but at 10-15 an hour when ur a teen, U DAMN WELL BETTER WORK. If not youd just be an idiot with that amount of pay available to you.

i can guarantee u that a zr1 will be up for sale within a few years. someone is gonna buy it and not be able to pay it off and then sell it back and then it will sell for a little cheaper. thats how i see it, gain from other peoples losses

I ended up paying them back for the GT.
I also was making 5.15/hr when I was 13 and 14. I said I was doing the same work that the guys making 10-15/hr were doing. I didn't make 15/hr untill I was 15/16. I make 25/hr now. During the summers I work 53hrs/week total 9hrs Mon-Fri and 8hrs on Sat.
No offense dude you don't have a clue how hard I work and what I do. I was not pamapered one bit where I worked. I had to prove myself prolly more so than anyone out there becasue most guys at first thought I had it easy as the bosses son. I don't know what you do but working where I work and building what I do is not easy work by any means. My screwed up back and knees prove that. In the summers when its 90*+ and welding on the floor with all you gear on its hot a hell. Not to mention the fact that I paint too and thats a pain in the ass do to the size of **** we make.

Honestly Im glad ur not completely pampered by them like most kids are. At least you had to work to get things. The thing that really sucks though, is working, making $10 an hour, going to college full time, and doing service one of the weekend. Im a college student and I dont even make what you were making at 15 yrs old. Thats pampering right there.

$15 an hour at 15yrs old? Holy hell. Im just pointing out you may work, JUST like everyone else does, but you have a PAY advantage from your parents.

So, back on topic... yeah Accords are meant to be a family car with some power to keep dad happy. Can't say I've too many modded V6 accords out there (seen a lot of riced-out older ones though).
They aren't fast, just like a S2 ain't fast. Decently quick, yes. Fast? Depends on your definition of fast I guess.

The only advantage I had was I was actually being allowed to work there since he owned it becasue leagally you have to be 16 to work in a place like that. IIRC

I was/am a welder and painter dude, welders and painters make good money. I was making the same pay as everyone else doing the same job as everyone else. How is that an advantage? Obviosly you don't know what they make so you look at $15/hr and think holly ****. Im not sweeping floors or flipping burgers here. I had to get certified and everything.

OK, so you were making the same pay at 15, as older men were making, who have been working much longer than you at their jobs. How is that not an advantage over everyone else? If I heard that the bosses 13 yr old son was making the same pay as me Id probly find another job.
Once again you have no clue of my work experience or what I did at that time.
