Life just isn't fair.....

My friend and I were headed out to Scottsdale, AZ to pick up my cousin for the weekend in his '00 Z-28 earlier today. It's completely stock, but still fast as hell. We were crusing down Glendale Ave at about 60th street, we stopped at a stop light. Next thing I know, one of the most bad a$$ cars pull up next to us, a freakin Lamborghini SV. I practically crawled all over the car just to get a good look at it when it's window rolled down. How in the hell does some 18 yr old kid get into a car like that? A friggin kid driving that damn thing. We revved the LS1 and he returned the favor in fun. The light turned green and my a$$ hit the seat. The Lambo almost disappeared it was so quick. Sure, it was nothing to be ashamed of, but.....well, damn. Some people just have all the luck. I guess it doesn't matter how fast you are, there's always someone faster.

Just remember people have mom and dads.

I've driven an '02 Vette with only my GF in there. Didn't mean it was mine, I'm sure some people were like WTF.

Dont jump to conclusions about people...

My good friend owns a '96 viper RT/10 along with a few other cars, trucks and motorcycles.

He is pretty young (23) and has worked his butt off for everything he has.

But, odds are a young guy in an exoctic means it was handed to him on a platter.

Depends where you live too. You can rent a lambo/ferarri/viper around here for 300 a day.

Maybe he just got a rental as a b-day present from someone, or to himself? Or maybe he is a lucky guy.

Must be a fun car to drive around though. My friend went to his bank here, and saw a new lambo in the parking lot. He took pictures, and when he went to the bank the next day, there was a new ferarri there.

Someone walked out of the office, and mentioned to my friend that soem guy in a local office there had a total of 16 'exotic' cars! :hail:

Let's rob a bank, who's with me?

I'm hoping that after I build my Evo II people will mistake it for an exotic and maybe think to themselves 'his parents got him that' while I laugh and do burnouts. Would b funny.

I know what you mean, when I go cruising to the mall in the Brute Force, everyone gives me a look like, damn that kid has it all, a sweet *** ride and incredibly good looking. One guy said that my parents should not give me a high performance car, then my alarm clock went off and I said hello to reality.

Ya, you can rent exotics around here for around 300-400 a day as well. The critical component though is the $5000 CASH deposit required for the rental, fully refunded upon return of the vehicle in the exact condition it was rented in.
