Yet they wonder how one could afford a pristine looking 1999 911 when it only cost in the mid 30s and will still be worth more than their brand new car 6 years from now.
It's all about priorities. Buy what you love and can afford and enjoy.
Just try to protect it from the idiots who go out of their way to injure it. I've seen everything so far from a empty bottle of beer left on the wing, to the wipers pulled from the window, the mirrors swung around, etc. People... don't f-ing touch my property all ready. Look if you like it if not keep walking.
There, I feel better now.

I am happy I am not the only one that is getting the heat. Lame...but you are right...one of the assistants pulled up in a new land rover..no one blinks. I know that Land Rover cost more...but oh wells.

AsainImage,
Let them frown and hate. I just laugh and agree with whatever they say. I love it when I feel the hate and criticism. Let them earn their PHD (Playa hatin' Degree). Just glide by with a big old cheese eating smile on your face.

"Oh he must be a spoiled rich kid"
"oh he is a drug dealer"
"oh we must be paying him too much"
"oh he thinks he is bad *** now"
I mean its been 3 days...and already people are talking crap! How do you guys handle haters? I hate nosey people and now that I have this car...all these people have a comment to share now! What gives?
or am I the only one experiencing this?

haha.. One of the reasons too why I modded my car so much was that if it was stock, some would say "return that car to your dad, kid..." hahaha ... Now, since it's modded, they would definitely know it's mine.... Bastards !!!!
