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...

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
