Ok you start with $15k, at the age of say, 16. You are now 18, and have $70k. This means you have gained $55k in at most, 3 years. This works out to be just under $20k/year.

In other words - you didn't actually earn much of that by working, obviously. Most 16 year olds are lucky to get 6 bucks an hour, and they've got school at least part time. That amount of money is not far off what a lot of people on adult wages get for full time work.

So again, I conclude, that it is rich parent syndrome :D

dont u get it still??

he has just been making up shit to make himself look good!!

Its ALL BS!! It just doesnt add up

His profile says he was born in 1970 (so hes about 30 according to that)

He's 18 in his posts....

He's un-Imployed (according to profile) so he doesnt work to get the money. He's still at school (most like preschool), because he can't spell a simple word either.

The internet is a wonderful tool for the insecure

it may not be bullshit, one of my very good friends is 17 and he has a brand new m3, half of which the money used to pay for the 160g beast was legitemetly earned by himself. I respect him for being able to do that. Im like greg i worked sinci grade 7 for my parents company, lasted year a bought a vl did it up and sold it for twice what i payed for it and as an end result had 10g's in the bank, my parents where nice enough to give me 6 so i could have a decent car, and i now have my line. They woudltn let me have a turbo charged first car not only due to insurance but they thought i would of killed myself and i know for a fact i would of. Im still only 17 and work my guts out for mods for my car but its worth it. Some people just have it a little easier, but dont be ashamed to say u have nice parents that were willing to buy u a car, its not a bad thing just dont bullshit about it.

they were his 2 options. r34 gtr or m3, u know which i told him tyo get but he liked the bimmer more, it drove smoother, ive driven it! oh my god what a car, but i must say i have never driven a 34 gtr but i creamed my dacks just sitting in one and revving it. haha. oh well.

WTF?

wtf is wrong with 70k for a first car that is absoulely NOTHING.

i am not saying that i have that, i have nothing near that....but thats not the point. Rich parents is all that guyz needs, mayb he does work for his parents for like 50bux an hr? who knowz? but jus coz many of u guyz cannot get that cash in that time period doesnt mean he's bullshiting..I know OF some1 whose 18?19? drives a porshe carrera =) and also heard he has an M3 and his mum drives a royce...his family owns a hotel..which is pretty big in sydney? so like what is so surprising about this 18year old having $70k, + jus coz he's rich doesnt mean we should be dissin him. Im a bit of a poor bastard myself, and yes i wouldnt mind having $70k to buy a first car, but such is life, there are alwayz people beta off than us, in which means there are ALSO many people whom we are betta off den, so we should jus be content wit wat we have n stop dissing him..

yeah so mate,...jus get a 350Z..i doubt u would get insurance wit a r34GTR.....................350Z is da way to goo!!!

okay guys, maybe this is bullshit maybe not

but to say a 18 yr old can't earn 20 grand a year? hehehe u gotta be kidding me

i am clearing close to that, only a little bit off and i don't work full time :) so there ya go i only turned 18 this year :( and no i ain't bragging just trying to stop the generalisation that occurs :)

adrian:P

Guys, i dont think anyones doubting that a 18 y/o can earn 20K a year or the fact that some people are fortuneate enough to have a 70K first car. Sure sometimes people have well off parents (lucky them) and sometimes they have to work damn hard.

What matters is their ATTITUDE towards that situation.

But in this particular situation i think everyones calling B/S, because it probably is

well im 18 and my first car is a R34 GTR...not that i can drive it anymore, but u can. My parents bought it for me and i still got it.. Just sits in the garage and i have to wait till im 21 now to drive the bloody thing.. So he might aswell can get one...

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
