Construction, when it's hot, can pay a young person handsomely also. Right now, except for a few pockets, it's rough going. Dave

Thanks for the clarification. BTW, I'm not interested in the "your daddy bought the car" thing. It's silly. That said, I wish my dad did buy my cars. It would save me a bundle.

DODGE2DUB- I'm jealous of your car collection- if you had to choose one, which would it be the X5D or the M3? How does the X5 do with that JBD Tune?

Personally, I'm not an SUV fan (wifey's car), but if you have to have one, the X5d is amazing! The power delivery is astonishing for such a heavy truck and with the JBD tune (turned to 85%), it really feels like a sporty car. Our X5 has the sport suspension/tires, so it's even a hoot in the canyons!
...and lets not forget the sound of the diesel rattle - at least then I don't feel too much like a soccerdad when driving it!

I don't think so. We've had our share of nice cars. Still do.

Plenty of 20 something here who earn a nickle plus a year. There are kids in college trading who have had 300k days. Yes, 300k in one day. Get a clue... Ever watch Wall St Warriors? This guy "began his trading career from his college dorm room where he turned his $12,000 Bar Mitzvah money into a fully audited pre-tax sum of $1.65 million dollars."

you may need to further qualify that though...and mention that that kind of time is likely only achievable on a stock test car handpicked and given to a magazine by BMW...and only the 2011-2012 models...and only when being compared to the 450hp RS5 and 550hp CTS-V. I don't remember seeing ANY of the E9X M3 tests producing even mid 12s times before the past 4-5 months when the competition got a little bump. Reality? M3 owners I've seen at the strip struggle to get into the 12s on more than 1 pass at a test and tune. 12.7-13.3 is the range I typically see guys run and I've only seen a couple of 12.5ish 'best of the day' times by E9x M3 guys at the local dragstrip, even with a couple of mods like exhaust etc. Bone stock cars rarely run 12.6-7 even. |

I don't want to flame you, but I will say my M3 is a helluva lot faster than my IS350 (13.2) and my B7S4 (13.4). Take that for what it's worth, but guys running 13.3's at sea level with an E9x M need to check and see if their right foot is still connected before going to the drag strip!

See, it's impossible for a ~20 year old to own TWO 70k cars without daddy. I mean, he could of inherited a fortune, or have a family owned business but that would be a different story. Nobody in their 20's is making 100k a year. He could be living with mommy and daddy but you still wouldn't be able to make that much bank. I run a family owned business with my father, that's why I can afford what I can. Nothing to be ashamed of. Saying he owns a 90k car and a 70k car AND wants an M5 which will be 100k ...well that's sort of a dead give away daddy is in the mix.
The only concern that I have was that no money could of really saved him if a pedestrian had come out of nowhere and was hit and with those speeds, no doubt would of been dead.[/QUOTE] To OP's defense I'm a 26 year-old entrepreneur and have bought an X5M and a house. I love America! I grew up very poor but my parents were smart and we immigrated to the States in the early nineties. They built up their own very successful hospitalist group. I suppose I owe my success through their example of hard work and success but we are in completely different fields. But it's definitely more common to see people in their mid-20s and early 30s sporting around hundred thousand dollar cars. Have you seen any of the kids on Wall Street? And especially now with the Internet boom it's becoming much easier to become wealthy. |
