Congrats! I'm in my 20's as well. It's nice to see some of the younger generation in these cars as well.

 

Exactly, I am 19

 

It is a surprise that u join the forum when u were 11

 

great looking car - get to grips with the power before you do a flash!

 

Thats the bad thing about kiddies getting the car. They are true ricers at heart and bought a badge not the car. Its about a look and a number.

 

I am fairly new to this forum but I must say that your comment is not appropriate. "Ricers" is a very racist term and most likely not appreciated in a forum that is about fellow car people. BTW I am a white guy if you must know. Once agian OMG6AMG welcome to the family and enjoy your new ride.

 

Exactly you are new to the forum and obviously NEW to cars. Ricer is a term used from fast and furious till today. ITS THE CAR, TOOL! not the driver. but oh you want to feign outrage and start calling people a racist.

I love WHITE guys that take offense for other races, when they dont even know what they are talking about.
You should really look into cars and the history before you come on here and start calling someone a racist.

So please go away, and do something besides taking offense for a comment that A: you feel is directed at a race you are not part of. B: its not even related to a race C: looking like a complete FOOL doing so.

I can keep posting links for you but its clear its a car. Funny that you ASSUMED it was the person, which is the sign of a real racist. Most people dont even know or care the race of the driver but for some reason you do. Are you really a racist Dawich? Why do you care about the race of the driver so much?

 

Here have a read. In Internet slang, a troll (<small>****.:</small> /ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[1]</sup> extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response<sup id="cite_ref-PCMAG_def_2-0" class="reference">[2]</sup> or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.<sup id="cite_ref-IUKB_def_3-0" class="reference">[3]</sup> The noun troll may also refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted."
While the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels subjective, with trolling describing intentionally provocative actions and harassment outside of an online context. For example, mass media has used troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."[

 

OOOOOH so you are a TROLL not a racist. Did you read your own links. I have been here a year, you just joined and started posting misguided and EPIC FAIL comments just like the TROLL you defined.

THANKS TROLL

PS Just asked my 34 yo Wife what a ricer was to which she responded " its a neon or such with a shopping cart wing on it like Shawn has" Shawn BTW is my WHITE brother in law

I am sure there is a website for those that think like you, taking offense for the world, ensuring that everyone has it fair, so you need to sell your turbo and give the proceeds to someone worse off than you, because obviously a car forum is not the place for you

 

Just because a younger adult gets a car doesn't mean he's a ricer. I've had numerous high end cars. Almost everything except lambo and Ferrari. There's always jealous people out There because they wernt successful enough as a younger adult to obtain a beautiful vehicle like a 997 turbo. Everyone has the same opportunity in life, it's not his fault that he was able to obtain the same car as you 20 years earlier. We're all here to share info and experiences about our p-cars no reason to put others down.

Once again congrats on the car. I bought mine when I was 23. Your doing good keep it up.

 

Well like the guy i responded too said, mods can wait. I too always had higher end cars for my age, not 911's but M3s and such. For some reason seeing the car was so fast stock, i didnt need more speed till I had driven the car for a year +
Seems the dude with the NEON, Si, WRX, always had an Ebay body kit before he had the car.

 

get real

 

Congrats on a great Birthday present !! It's simply stunning looking Sorry to hear about the ticket though, it happens to the best of us. Any other plans for modifications ? I would consider a LED Lighting Kit if you haven't already. Keep us posted and enjoy.

 

Couldnt have said it better myself.

Everyone has had the same opportunity in life? Not exactly. I'm not one to start any "trolling" or go off OP topic, but...

A) Congrats on your new purchase
B) how exactly does one become so "successful" at 21 w/o help from parents, funds, hand me down companies, etc? I didnt think this was still the dot come boom where an internet company can get bought out (for tons more than its worth) despite it being mostly useless.
C) I've had to work from the ground up, literally. i come from a middle class family and have worked to pay for every single thing on my own because I had to, not because my parents wanted to teach me the value of something and I still knew deep down inside I'd be ok in the end. Its about old school 'eat what you kill' needs.
D) i grew up around a lot of rich kids who think / thought they're entrepreneurs and did things on their "own" at young ages. News flash - that doesnt happen without some form of backing from someone. Sure there are those that manage to secure VC or PE backing, but thats not exactly common. (Also most likely due to someone elses backing or relationship).

All in all, congrats. I'm 33 and bought my TT earlier this year and I was proud of myself. Ive had the M cars and luxury cars and all that also. Success is sweeter when its earned, not pretended to be earned. If you're truly self made, you wont be offended by what I said or the aforementioned posts' curiousities are. In business, things also dont go according to plan. Maybe I will have to sell my TT one day, but I know where I came from and I'm not too proud or offended by anyone or what they can say about how I get things or why I may get rid of em one day.
There arent any shortcuts to success.

Enjoy that turbo, safely.

 

You don't have the same opportunity to attend college to pursue a profession or to apply for a job like everyone else does? Hmm I'm sorry
