i agree...you never know about people...i mean maybe he got a lawsuit judgement because his mother was killed by a Greyhound.
in which case all the cars in the world can't bring her back....

"Let he hath not sinned cast the 1st stone", i believe was said by a famous guy a few thousand years ago, along w/ "Do not covet that which is thy neighbors."

Default thanks people

Yo everyone,

thanks for all your help and backup (especially from toog4me, and every one else sorry if i forgot to include ur name)

btw, CHAMPAIGN GS, dude you can rip on me all you want, I don't give, I got better stuff to do than waste my time listening to your preaching of "young people should be drivin' NEONS"

Even with that, I still gotta complement you on your GS, the newer chromes look PHAT.

Peeeeesh

And oh yah, 1 more thing, look at the revised sig

I know what you're saying. No hurt feelings or nothing. Just please dont say stuff like that next time. BTW, your GS does look sick. I love the chrome GSs rims.

Xenon,

No problem. Always gotta defend ourselves!

Default GS4

Xenon, way to go, bro.
I remember when I was 19 and bought a brand new GS3.
Some people gave me mad respect, others gave me a lot
of hate. Do what you got to, no matter what. Get the
GS4 and pimp it, flauss it, and don't give a f*** about the
haters, live your life dawg. And I give you mad respect for
working through your weekends and vacations. I still got
two jobs working 90-100 hours, so I feel you on the job issue.
I'm glad you're making it, God bless you.
And yeah, BUY THE LEX. Believe me you won't regret it, no
matter what your friends might say. They will be the same ones, who will not be able to wait to roll with you in it.
Big pimpin'.

Default CHMPNGS.....hahahaha

It's arrogant people like you that make owning nice things fun!



I'm 18, I've had my LX since I was 16. Since then I've owned a GS400, STS, 300zx and a Testarossa. I also own a (all in my name) Liquor store, a share in a used car lot and tomarrow I'm going to go sign the papers to buy another beer and wine store. Talk about me all you like, it feels good to know you feel so highly of me you need to spend time typing things about me .



Hey Xenon.....are you lookin for another 4 door? Are you keepin the ES? Granted the GS4 is not your average 4 door and it is my favorite sedan. Your 16, you had your time in a 4 door get somthing slick man.....A SUPRA! Well sorry, that's my advice to everyone and I had to get it out . The GS4 is an amazing car, I was in tears when I sold mine but I had an offer I couldn't refuse. It a turns heads, girls love it, reliable, luxury, refined, exclusive and it's fast.

If I were you though.....keep the ES3 as the luxo cruiser and get somthing you can take the top off in. Supra, NSX, Porsche, 300zx, old ferrari........whatever man, somthing you can play with. But you can't go wrong either.


Good luck and have fun man!

thas coool as hell man, you've owned more cars than my parents prolly have and your only 18!!!!! Yo, how'd you get the Testarossa, did you buy it from dealer or auction?

I was considering a 00 vette in yellow wit chromes, and then a '94 supra with some serious mods but it turned out that the first seller of the vette stole the car, and the supra had been involved in 2 major accidents.

Then, as I was telling one of my friends how pissed I was about both cars not working out, I looked around my room and saw a poster of a 98 GS400 that I've had posted there since I was 12 and I'm like, "DAMN!!!!! why didn't i think of the GS before?"

So I guess that's how I made my decision, but yah, a PHAT sports car can top anything, I'll save that for my next ride when I get a lil older




peeeeesh

Wow, seems very nice. Since it's a loaded 00 it may be a bit out of my price range. PM me with your asking price!!!

thanks

Default What's up Xenon....

Yea, it's been nice I guess. I just set myself up for the future very young and it payed off, working hard isn't so bad.

I had the Testarossa for 2 weeks this summer. It was a salvage title car I picked up at the insurance auction for an amazing price. She was a redhead with tan skin born in 1989 . That is such a wide car, no power steering and I still can't drive stick for ****..... I guess a Ferrari isn't the best car to learn on. She had some basic mechanical problems due to the owner neglecting the required maintenance on a car like that. It would have been a fortune at the local Ferrari dealer but my cousin trained whose a mechanic trained on BMW's and Porche's it wasn't so bad . Sold her to a guy who could care less if it made out tin foil let alone being a salvage title. Bought it from me the same day he saw it. fun times.....


Okay so that's my life story....


The vette....ehh, my cousin has one. A yellow 2001 convertible with a black top and black leather. He hates it so much...he tries to get every person he meets to take over his lease. There's too many of them on the road, it's ridiculous....there just a GM...nothing special, ever seen the interior? THE SUPRA ON THE OTHER HAND! .....is that Supra you were talkin about still available by any chance?


Good luck bro....let me know if you need anything, after all this time looking for the right car for me I have quite a bit of knowledge on the matter...

Default YO FrancisK

Yo thanks a lot,

School just started and the kid with the Supra is in my AP chem class so I'll ask him if he still has the Supra for sale. I saw the car about 2 months ago and dayem... it was PERFECT!!

He told me he got a new M3, but after getting pulled over for doing 75 in a 20 zone and a $500 ticket, he's put the car aside for a while and is driving a 91 Geo Prizm

BTW, where are these auctions (like the one where you got your Ferrai held?). My friend's dad got a 01 540i for $21k from a POlice auction!!! so now i'm tempted...


PEeeeeeeeeeesh...

Default xenones3....

what's up man?

The auctions are over here in Michigan. Spread out all over the place. The good ones they do like once a year and they all have passed this summer. I'll let you know if any come around if your stilll interested.

Hey, if that Supra's a Turbo and it's still for sale tell that kid he found a buyer with cash in hand.....at the right price that is. Chicago isn't a very far drive.....road trip this weekend? Thanks man, I really appreciate it.
