Ok you start with $15k, at the age of say, 16. You are now 18, and have $70k. This means you have gained $55k in at most, 3 years. This works out to be just under $20k/year.

In other words - you didn't actually earn much of that by working, obviously. Most 16 year olds are lucky to get 6 bucks an hour, and they've got school at least part time. That amount of money is not far off what a lot of people on adult wages get for full time work.

So again, I conclude, that it is rich parent syndrome :D

dont u get it still??

he has just been making up shit to make himself look good!!

Its ALL BS!! It just doesnt add up

His profile says he was born in 1970 (so hes about 30 according to that)

He's 18 in his posts....

He's un-Imployed (according to profile) so he doesnt work to get the money. He's still at school (most like preschool), because he can't spell a simple word either.

The internet is a wonderful tool for the insecure

it may not be bullshit, one of my very good friends is 17 and he has a brand new m3, half of which the money used to pay for the 160g beast was legitemetly earned by himself. I respect him for being able to do that. Im like greg i worked sinci grade 7 for my parents company, lasted year a bought a vl did it up and sold it for twice what i payed for it and as an end result had 10g's in the bank, my parents where nice enough to give me 6 so i could have a decent car, and i now have my line. They woudltn let me have a turbo charged first car not only due to insurance but they thought i would of killed myself and i know for a fact i would of. Im still only 17 and work my guts out for mods for my car but its worth it. Some people just have it a little easier, but dont be ashamed to say u have nice parents that were willing to buy u a car, its not a bad thing just dont bullshit about it.

they were his 2 options. r34 gtr or m3, u know which i told him tyo get but he liked the bimmer more, it drove smoother, ive driven it! oh my god what a car, but i must say i have never driven a 34 gtr but i creamed my dacks just sitting in one and revving it. haha. oh well.

WTF?

wtf is wrong with 70k for a first car that is absoulely NOTHING.

i am not saying that i have that, i have nothing near that....but thats not the point. Rich parents is all that guyz needs, mayb he does work for his parents for like 50bux an hr? who knowz? but jus coz many of u guyz cannot get that cash in that time period doesnt mean he's bullshiting..I know OF some1 whose 18?19? drives a porshe carrera =) and also heard he has an M3 and his mum drives a royce...his family owns a hotel..which is pretty big in sydney? so like what is so surprising about this 18year old having $70k, + jus coz he's rich doesnt mean we should be dissin him. Im a bit of a poor bastard myself, and yes i wouldnt mind having $70k to buy a first car, but such is life, there are alwayz people beta off than us, in which means there are ALSO many people whom we are betta off den, so we should jus be content wit wat we have n stop dissing him..

yeah so mate,...jus get a 350Z..i doubt u would get insurance wit a r34GTR.....................350Z is da way to goo!!!

okay guys, maybe this is bullshit maybe not

but to say a 18 yr old can't earn 20 grand a year? hehehe u gotta be kidding me

i am clearing close to that, only a little bit off and i don't work full time :) so there ya go i only turned 18 this year :( and no i ain't bragging just trying to stop the generalisation that occurs :)

adrian:P

Guys, i dont think anyones doubting that a 18 y/o can earn 20K a year or the fact that some people are fortuneate enough to have a 70K first car. Sure sometimes people have well off parents (lucky them) and sometimes they have to work damn hard.

What matters is their ATTITUDE towards that situation.

But in this particular situation i think everyones calling B/S, because it probably is

well im 18 and my first car is a R34 GTR...not that i can drive it anymore, but u can. My parents bought it for me and i still got it.. Just sits in the garage and i have to wait till im 21 now to drive the bloody thing.. So he might aswell can get one...

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
