hate the game, not that playa...lol. To build something like that at such a young age i'm sure he understands what he has... you can't be mad because mom and pops have money... I only get mad when the spoiled brat has something like and wrecks it and the parents turn around and buy another one or something faster than the first...smh.

He got the money because a drunk driver ran over his foot and he had a cross country scholarship, sued their *** off, got tons of money, and bought a ZL550. That wasn't good enough to he gave it to a local shop to build from the ground up.

I dont see the issue, his life, not youre money. Just enjoy a sick car. Granted Im 19 and my car is the fastest thing Ive ever been in, let alone drove. So Im coming from a different perspective.

While I'm not a fan of the entitlement society suing everyone for everything nowadays - if he didn't, he would have missed out on a scholarship and college isn't exactly cheap and I go to a state school so I can only imagine private schools

I also dislike the people who complain about bought not built. Maybe it is the bias of me not knowing how to work on cars, etc, but you can have more respect for the people that built it themselves, but you do what you can afford and they will do what they can afford

You're 19. You aren't doing bad at all. Just don't be stupid with it

Not everyone has parents with a car hobby or friends with a car hobby. Just sayin'. I'd say him being 19 and rocking an 02 WS6 is doing pretty well for himself at that age in the car game

That black Formula is VERY impressive... To be hooking and leaving that good with a stick on the street is insane... Not to mention pulling away(ever so slightly though) from a 135 mph car....

Most of the cars in the video ran damn good other then the 5th Camaro with the 427/F1R.... That was a disappointment to me...Maybe it was just traction issues but...I thought it was going to be super nasty...

I wanted to see more of the Fox with the 496.....That car looked prepared to rape...
