Default Turbo TBSS @ Speed Inc.

I was at Speed Inc a little while ago buying a Panhard Bar.

I got there while they were on their lunch break, and there was a Turbo Trailblazer pulling in to the rear parking lot. It sounded pretty nice. Anyone know anything about it? It was like a Silverish color.

There was also a kid I wanted to fight.

He walked in there with his dad and they started gabbing to the rep about installing a full blown cam package and a custom tune. I heard him pull up and his exhaust sounded pretty good too. I was mad because my old man gave me hell about buying a PHB, and this kids dad was talking about installing cams and getting tunes. Some kids just have all the luck

I have seen probably the same TBSS at the shop there a couple times. I think it is one of the employees cars.

I dont like when kids seem to take their parents money for granted, I cant complain about my life. My school is paid for by my parents but I never expected for them to for it but I'm thankful that they do.

kids at my highschool got e46 m3's, z06's, sti's, r32 golfs(new and old). Tons of basic benz's and bmw's. The worst would be my friend my age with a new a8, and his brother 17 just got a new m3 black with red leather because he is going to a junior college?

Thats what i call spoiled or you say "lucky"

I hardly think you would have the same opinion if your parents were buying you an M3 or an Z06.

If a parent is willing to buy their kid a $60k+ car then good for them. They are lucky little bitches and I wish I had the privileges they do. I don't think less of people because their parents buy them nice things or because they spend a lot of money. What are you saving it for? Not like you get any of it when your dead.

I HOPE that one day I have enough money to give my kids a gift of that stature and have it not hurt me financially.

Now granted there is a big difference between the people who are grateful for what they get and people who expect nothing less. Thats where you get into your spoiled bitches.

I feel the same way as you, when kids expect material objects handed to them its not right.Yes my cousins know their dad makes good money,he does give them things. One goes to University of Iowa, other goes to notre dame and the other stanford.I think there are different types of spoiled kids and what they are spoiled with.

I heard it when he slowed down and took the turn into the lot allll the way until he was in the back. The truck looked very clean too.

I didn't want the remark about the guy and his son talking about cams to be taken as a "spoiled brat" type of deal.

It was VERY nice to see the guy in there with his dad who doing that kind of stuff. The kid surely didn't have the spoiled thing going on.

He had a Red ws6 too, very clean and very, very nice looking. I would have tried to talk to him, but I was embarrassed because all I had was a PHB, and he had a Speed Inc rep about to tear into his motor.

Also, all these stories about high schools having parking lots full of kids driving Escalades, Audis, Ferraris, Maserati's, etc....come on guys. If you could buy an expensive car like that for your child because you were proud of them , you know you would. Plus, if you're going to the same school as these kids, where's YOUR expensive car?

Not coming at your heads or anything, just curious.
