We may not be too many years apart, but until you go to war and see lives end, we'll be nothing alike.

um actually it is a F'ed up comment... How do you know if i truly can afford my s2k? I earned my car. I get good grades AND im paying for EVERYTHING considering my car... WHo the hell are you to tell me i dont deserve my car... and most teenagers have stayed with their parents while buying their own car. Whats wrong with that? I have a full schoalrship to my college so my parents pay for nothing. I have my school paid for and i pay for my car and expenses. The only thing i dont do is pay my parents for rent. im not mooching off my parents like other teenagers... im not trying to sound cocky but i think im pretty good for a 18 year old. I work hard in both in school and work so how can you say that ur comment isnt F'ed up.

I dont give a shit if you went to war or not... i admire what you have done... but thats your choice.... Are you saying that your better then everyone else on this board since u went to war?

I am damn proud of my s2k and everyone who thinks i dont deserve can go F themselves...

I dont care how someone got their car. If you earned it yourselves or your parents paid for it... as long as ur not a dousche bag on the road i have no problem with u...

I kno a kid whose 22 who goes to Harvard medical school and drives a Lamborghini superleggera. If u ever meet him youd think he is the most modest person on the face of the planet. The kid got straight A's his whole life and at Harvard right now so him buying his own car if he had to work would be kinda hard... but he sitll comes back to Long Island every weeeknd to run his parents restaurant. Does he deserve his car? hell yeah.

Yeah really, but I did fine with my B18 Porsche Killer. The S hasn't gotten me any new girls, I've been with the same one since before I bought it.

I think that there is a case by case exception to who deserves their care and it really depends on maturity. When I first started looking for my car I was not mature enough to own it. I know 19yrds that I would consider mature enough and 45yrds I would not consider mature enough. Money can't buy maturity.

I just don't like it when I see a kid who didn't have to work as hard as I had to be able to drive one, when I have friends barely making enough to stay in school who can only dream of having one.

Where were you seeing combat in the Air Force if I may ask, no disrespect intended.

You know, you shouldn't look down on younger s2000 owners just because they haven't been through the same things as you in their life. What does that have to do with driving a s2000?
The way I look at it, as long as you don't drive like an idiot and try to show off, who cares how they got their s2000. So what if their parents bought it fully for them, they are just more lucky than you were back then. So they don't deserve to drive a nice car because they're too young? I think that's absurd.
