Who cares? I don't care how you get your money or how much you have. I don't care if your mommy or daddy paid for your heads and cam or anything else for that matter. I don't even care that you have it. I do the things to my cars for myself and my own personal enjoyment. If you have some sort of deep seeded problem with that so be it.

I worked 60+ hrs a week the whole summer as a security guard for a company my dad started(Which there are people higher than me making more money) making 8 dollars an hr and saved up my money while still being a full time student at Texas A&M making a 3.5 GPA.I worked hard and studied hard while all my friends party all the time. I got my "Heads and cam" by working hard and sacrficing things and waiting for money to accumulate, I didnt just get up and go "Dad where's your wallet at?"

You just talk about money alot, thats all.

See there is the thing I don't care at all what you had to do... I posted something asking for opinions on a turbo kit, motor, trans, rearend for the M3. Bandit TA and a few others are BMW techs. I posted the price of the kit. Not sure if it was the norm or on the high side. Someone posted said that would be a waste of money etc. Then I explained that most people think spending money on a camaro is a waste of money. My camaro only makes 492rwhp and has all of that money invested. So, by compareson the price of the kit for the M3 began looking more reasonable for 750rwhp. I did not make the thread to debate with people about who bought my car who pays the bills etc. I made it to see what everyone thought about a turbo M3/ if it was a good deal. I'm intrested to see how much money the full turbo setup on the M3 runs cost wise vs a full turbo setup on a c6.
