I like how everyone is posting in before lock. hahah

Got my is when i was 17, didnt want the car then. I wanted an evo instead, because i wanted to have some fun with it. But now i dont really care. The IS is nice.
Most kids in my hs had nice cars too. Lots of is250s, g35s and c class. Best car was prob a range rover or something.

Mills High is in Millbrae

We actually had 3 parking lots, on one each side of the school, with the 4th side being our track/football field and baseball and soccer field. One for students, and one for teachers and staff, and the other for guest/visitor parking (main front lot).

even if it's normal there doesn't mean kids aren't spoiled (granted some work very hard for it). heck even at my college, entry level luxury cars are far and few between. And back at my high school, i think the original Dodge Avenger coupe that me and my bro drive was probably among the nicest cars there back then haha

Yup, she was in one of my classes.

Im actually liking this thread... The only thing this has left me thinking is why is there no SF/peninsula norcal meet when there are so many of us?!?! ... for a second I actually forgot this was in the general 2IS section it seems like mostly norcal people are responding ... but that may have something to do with as we watch Craig Ferguson in the west... everyone else is already fast asleep haha...
