Can't figure how the heck......

Well I went to school friday went to park my 88sc and what do I see also lookin for a parking spot, a black 97z with rims, tint, t-tops, and exhaust . Then I go to talk to the kid that ownes the car and he says he just got the car a week ago it had 30000 miles on it for 13,000 and the kid just got his liscence. I'm like two years older then him stugglin to make a pay check cleaning boats, car insurence for me is a b#tch, and hes rollin around a 97z. how the heck do they afford this stuff. 16yr old with 97z i mean car insurence alone must be crazy. Just thought i'd share.

Yep, there's a kid at the highschool my GF used to go to has an '01 Vette. Most of the school is stuck up snobs, but come on a new Vette.

I know the feeling... I'm a senior in high school in a very rich town. Kids who turn 17 on a Wednesday will have a brand new Audi on Thursday. A friend of mine just got a brand new Audi S4. But it's ok... when I get my cam intake and heads done... I'll have spent less than $5000 between the car and parts... I'll have the pleasure, and pride, of knowing I did the work myself (well with my dad-even better,) and I should be running up there with cars that are worth almost 8 times that amount... which to me means a lot
