Talking Thank you guys for your motivation!!

So i've been lurking these forums since I was 16-17.. just reading up on everything, learning about the car and posting here and there ( haven't posted in a long time) The s2000 and your guys build progress threads have motivated me enough to work hard to try and save up for a dope s2000. I'm 22 now and I always wanted an s2000 (still am getting one just with enough time I'll buy another car) but I managed to save up for a car I did not think I would be getting any time soon. Well I was wrong, I worked very hard and very smart these past 3 years and my efforts paid off! You guys were honestly the reason why I got sick in the head for cars!! Now I need to work even harder to afford all of the other 500 cars I want


I know it's not an s2000 but your inspiration and the way things worked out I was able to get something a little better You guys are awesome! keep building! I need to grab an s2000 just to remind me of where it all started!

With no college debt.

Though the cheapest ones I see nationwide are ~$50k USD still...That's $65k CAD...

Not sure if petroleum engineer can float that unless they're living rent free or dropped $30k on a downpayment.

3 Years ago I got into LED lighting, now my company retrofits commercial buildings from old to LED lights, there is a big craze everywhere with LED lighting, it's working out well.

My F type was new and fully loaded, it came up to 135kcdn after tax. Still worth it in every way! It's the AWD V6S model with every option possible!

Honestly buddy, congratulations.

If it's your hard work (and smart work nonetheless) that helped you get to where you are at this day and age, that's a rare commodity that many youngsters appreciate.

Glad to see you have such a beautiful ride (and that we motivated you as well in whatever ways we did).

I'd love to see one of these on the road yet by me, but still have not. Most my neighbors drive large SUVs (extended Escalades, Hummers) or hybrids (I own one too for a daily), lol.

YouTube for me hearing the exhaust note is the most I've had to hearing one, at least so far.

Enjoy it!

Welcome to the club of Jaguar; once hooked they're hard to move away from. Very sharp.

Awesome ride! If you are really doing well in your business and can afford it, more power to you. I know a local guys who bought a red one with black wheels. They are beautiful cars.
