"..those that critisize FWD are just too slow to do anything else about it..."

what do u live by that statement? congrats on breaking 12s. still willing to bet i know of a few fairly stock f-bodies that ran better than a 12.9xxx at 106.

i am from dirtee jerzee and i have the king of all "daddy's money" stories.
a girl at my high school graduation cried because her parents bought her the WORNG COLOR brand new BMW. to make it even worse this gift was to replace her hand me down car that she got when she turned 17, which was her daddy's 2 year old BMW.

i am from a working middle class family and i am proud my parents saw fit to find ways to pay for a better high school education for my brother and i, but there were a lot of people there that the world woudl be better without.

Thats Fairfield county for ya.. Richest place in the united states. Click the link The thing that sucks is I am 1 of the poor kids or familys that live here and im just here because im 4th generation in this town oh well but yea every other car you see is a AMG benz or 911 turbo porsches and suvs forget the suburban its a chyene turbo. The good thing is if theres money here then thiers money to be made and for me getting into plumbing business in ffld county thier is $$$$ the be made. I dont care about the rich kids ive been in a girls house whos father is CEO of a fourtune 100 company and they had a inground pool and hot tub in thier living room with a gym a movie theater bar 4 floors in thier house and the girls room was the whole top floor... haha it kinda makes u want to live like that. U should see some of the rediculous mansions out by the water in westport. The girls here are hot too all the FFLD U chicks #1 college for hot chicks on playboy and for girls that posed in the mag. But yea it sucks having a car payment each month and not just payed for but I apprecheate everything I own

I'm in SE CT so I do not see the 'rich kids with daddy's money' much. And if I did, they would get seriously spanked anyway...

its called envy (spelling may be off. lol)

i hear it all the time. a friend of mine has many many toys. much more then me, and i hear people all the time. *** hole just got this or that, bla bla.
i say, good for him. but i know he works his *** off to have his toys, and i think it is great. do i wish i had al his toys? of course who wouldnt, do i hate him for it, no way.

and no mater what people think of me, i know and the people that know me also know, my sorry *** puts in many many hors at work as well as many many hours after work to have what i have. and those that know my father know he didnt just pass me stuff, as he earned everything he has on his own. hell, he lived in a 18' traler in kansas for 2 years, just to try to save a few buck to move back and buy his first house. he had it alot harder then me, but passes on his work ethics to me also.
for the people that do not know me and think i do nothing, thats fine to. think what you want. envy gets you know place.

People just need to pay less attention to other people, you'll be happier. I deal with rich people (REAL RICH) and there kids daily, some are a-holes some are not (including kids). At the end of the day I go home to my wife and hang with my friends and just have fun. I consider myself lucky I dont need crazy money to be happy since I already have more than most and everything that I need.

I see this everyday, I talk on the phone and meet with people who have more money than they know what to do with. SOme of these people spend 10's of millions on large vacation properties that they might use once a year. I see their kids driving brand new BMW's, MB's, and audi's. THey stock there ski homes with all the new toys you could imagine..... It doesn't make me jealous or mad.... I don't hate them for it.... It just gives me motivation to earn the same lifestyle
