He claims to make 60 grand a year....So I'm going to with he's in tons of debt like most of the fine folks in America.

$60k isn't too bad.

I have seen NSXs as low as $20k. Maybe he bought that and his Viper used and lives in a smaller house. Maybe he just saves really well.

Maybe he is tons of debt. Who knows. It's just kind of unfair to jump to that conclusion.

It's also unfair that we have to sit through "Raw Wheel Horsepower" hour just to see that sweet Viper of his race. The world in unfair my friend.

I use a lot of common sense and logic to figure things/people out. After seeing his posts, videos, reasoning skills and overall attitude... I'm going to say he's in a **** ton of debt and lives either with his parents or in an apartment.

He has a wife and daughter and lives in his own house in hawaii, he also has a job and a small business on the side.

I got all of that from the info he gave out in just the SRandK thread. SO i will have to disagree with you there.

Also it all depends how people spend their money, i know how my friends dad brings in 250k a year, and his mom was a nurse, and they live in a regular house and drive a toyota minivan, but the orders out everyday for food and goes out A LOT as well as going on vacations a few times a year.

Cars are not always the best factor to figure our how much people make, not everyone really cares or sees them more then a means to get from point A to point B which is what they are but to many, like most of us, we can use them for enjoyment

I could have sworn he once said he lived with his parents? :shrug: it's his life, his money, his cars.

Ok... I know you can read.

I obviously was not talking about the 1/4 mile when I said the NSX was very close to the 911 Turbo and Diablo.

The difference between a regular NSX and an NSX-R is smaller than the difference between a regular Corvette and a Z06. It's still an NSX, and it still had 100-300hp less than every other car in that race.

The NSX is a great car, I never denied that.
Everyone here knows how much you hate Japanese everything, but come on.
I think you are confusing me with someone else...

Styling and very high-end engineering/technology.

The nsx was a mid engine car with an all aluminum chassis and styling that just grabs your attention. However I think the 92 Viper looks better, meaner, more aggressive just like an american car that's meant to perform should and id buy one over an NSX any day. But hey, to each his own, more power to killemall for owning a viper and an nsx lol

Whoa........

I havent lived with my parents since I was 16...Ouch!!!!!!!!!

I dont have one daughter. I have 3 daughters and a son...My oldest is 16 and my youngest is 7..

Yes I only make 60K..But I get a check every month from a disability I got as an Infantry soldier on top of that..Plus I used money I got when I was medically discharged to help my wife buy a buisness 6 years ago. She already had a smaller buisness since 1997 and when she sold it we put that money together with my medical discharge money plus money we had saved and bought a bigger buisness..

The money from the buisness is considerably more than the money I make from my job..More than double and at times more than triple...

With all that said...between the monthly payments on my 600K house and my viper,nsx,ram 1500,nissan quest,jeep liberty plus takeing care of my 4 kids and all the other things that happen in life I am defiently living the AMERICAN way and in debt ect.

Just clarifying a lil as I dont want you to get the impression that I spend every dollart I earn paying for my nsx and viper (though I probally would with the viper atleaste..LOL)

Or at least to the judgemental SR&K faithful.
