I now have a serious problem with the OP.

OP claims to just want people's opinions on the matter and claims to not be offended, and yet he's incredibly defensive about what people are saying - to the point of trying to correct them - and insistent on the irrelevance of his wealth despite being the only person to consistently bring it up.

Conclusion: OP needs to screw his fracking head on straight and get on with his life.

The topic has nothing to do with it, people bring it up. People who respond to the actual OP got an actual response from me.

Your point? I'm just frustrated that people are quick to ignore everything I say and jump to it. This topic isn't even remotely about it.

Then why make the title of the thread "Somehow I'm still unhappy". That implies that despite all your wealth and good fortune, you're still unhappy. You brought it up man.

It implies nothing, I talk about how I have a good family and I'm not socially awkward and how I have a pretty good life, yet somehow im not happy. Where does wealth come into play...

Already have twice . Terrifying at first, still is in truth. But Jesus Christ it's awesome. I need to get some things sorted out before I can go again. Also, hopefully during summer I can transport it around and hit up some notable courses (I'm looking at you Laguna.)

You NEED to go down to colarado or something and find some abandoned highways, just let it loose on the road... the feeling you get is just magical

There's also the salt flats... but I think the P1 wouldn't be able to handle the terrain like my Evo. Still, those salt flats just sing around sunrise and sunset, and going 100-130 Mph through them while it happens? perfection.

I remember off roading when I had my Evo. Fantastic times too. I heard their ending producing of the X this year , no news on the 11 either. I plan a road trip, but I need the time. And things change. I know for spring break I'm going Miami to NYC. And I might take part in Gold Rush Rally. But I'm not sure yet.

It's not my daily, I drove it today because I haven't driven it for over a week.

Just do me a favour and treat it like I do my Evos... I hate when people don't take care of their nice cars. Take it on the track once in a while too.

We don't hate you because you're rich. None of us hate you at all, from what I've seen. However, a good number of individuals are irked about your constant talk about your money and possessions.

This.

Read my response to Vien, I forgot to quote you in it to. My bad :/

Quote from: RC5908 on October 02, 2014, 12:00:06 PM

who fracking cares? buy a Mercedes or something and don't fracking complain about your "too good for the common man" problems.

Basically this. If you're getting a higher leveled college education, I thought perhaps you had the intelligence to do this.

We don't hate you because you're rich. None of us hate you at all, from what I've seen. However, a good number of individuals are irked about your constant talk about your money and possessions. Do you want me to talk about much I traveled in life?

You could talk about anything you want, infact I'd love to hear about it. I don't say "oh hey I have so much money I'm so rich you are all peasants." Literally all I talk about when I even bring it up are my cars. Because I love them and are passionate about them. I could go on for pages on them. You guys bring up everything doing with "your super rich" and "you think your better" when I don't say anything to intiate that. It's something I've noticed. Like my topic in Serious. Everyone completely ignored what I said and immediately jumped to the whole money aspect, even when it has nothing to do with the topic.

Why don't you buy a car that the rest of us peasants drive so you can still drive to school. I can see why they see your car as a liability and honestly, I don't think they're being unreasonable.

I totally understand where they are coming from, I absolutely do, but I think it's harsh they didn't even try to negotiate some form of an agreement between me and them

yeah I hate when people don't even consider a compromise. They are making the odds lower, of your car being stolen or vandalized.

I know, it just sucks

I'm pretty sure they can't do that.

They can do whatever they want, it is their property.

It's also a private institution, so they have that too

This is typical teenage stuff.

Now look at it this way:

You've got lots of wealth, a good family, a good education, a social life, and are decently attractive. When you are done with college or whatever you won't have crippling debts. You have 3x what most people have when they are 50. You'll probably see 90% more of the world then I'll see in my lifetime. You'll probably get the opportunity to do more then most in your lifetime.


You've already got the survival part down. I dream of achieving what you have so that I can move on to my real passions.

Don't take advantage of it. Challenge yourself. Find a passion. Help the world. Thats what I would do.


Don't take anything I said as rude, you can have billions and be unhappy. Your problem is imagining closed doors. What you need to realize is in a couple years, the list of open doors you'll have is so much larger than most it's ridiculous.

Thank you for actually addressing me, thank you.

What you say is true.

You have the expensive cool car, right?

There's the problem. An expensive cool car is going to be a target for stealing, and I assume the liability cost for a car such as yours would be exponentially high compared to some first time banger car that most kids would have.

I can see why they are doing this, it's in case your car get's stolen and you decide to blame the school. They can't use most of their budget (if not all) paying the insurance on an a super expensive car, even if you'd said you wouldn't consider them liable, because there's always a chance and it's a chance they can't risk.


Yes, I agree it indeed sucks ass. I'd take on the chin for now, and ask later if you can park your car again if there isn't a wave of robberies in a few weeks.

The car that got stolen was a 2013 C300 Mercedes. It's about $40,000. Which is...1/30 of my car. I understand their logic but it's such an inconvenience. I'm hoping there's some form of agreement we can come to that benefits us both

>$40,000
>1/30 of your car
You drive a million dollar car? Who steals a corn-dog when you can steal a diamond? Da heck.

I kind of understand the schools logic, but that still sucks.

Mclaren P1. I understand their logic to

So you DID manage to buy the P1 in the end, and I presume that's yours as your avatar? Nice, needless to say here, but by the time i'm your age, i'll be in luck if I can afford a Ford Ka or something

Buying it took a bit, I needed a good price but yes I got it. And yes it's my avatar. Im 17, I thought you were older then me? I'd assume so

Buy a 2014 Ford Focus ST and just send it to me when you're out of college. 

I'm a senior in highschool

Wait. Really? I thought you were like, doing your masters or something.

How the frack do you have two supercars before you're 20?

It's a long story.

In short, a lot of luck. And knowing someone who can give you the tools and aid to show you the world. And show me he did. It wasn't because of I have a lavishly wealthy family as members of this site will argue. My family isn't any more then middle class

How much does it cost to maintain this site, and how much are your living expenses. Honestly i am willing to donate some cash to support this site. Which may sound stupid, but frack it, i like it and well i want it to survive.

That's nice pretty cool of you to do that. If the costs became too expensive then I guess we could all donate a little to keep this place running. However last I heard, the ad revenue was sufficient to cover the costs.

Yeah it usually is, just wondering though, hopefully if the site will grow and maybe groups shall be added. Though this will require Cheat to work full time if it becomes a serious website with major traffic. Then add revenue although helpfull we will need revenue to pay him for his work.

Well Focnr is going to leave, so soon Cheat will have to do all the work by himself.

I'm content with donating to keep the site going if needed. But I'd need a number and costs

Nothing at the moment.

What fox eats pizza

Ah, now I look like a fool.

Buy some old beater boat for a grand on Craigslist (and then drop a big block LS in it for sleeper cred).
Problem solved.

Or maybe a 90's M3...I like this idea...I like this a lot.

It's shitty, but I totally understand where they're coming from. Either park somewhere else or buy a beater to drive to school.

I had plans to buy a 3rd car for school, a cheap one. I guess I'll have to actually do it now

This is precisely why I don't understand having a supercar as a daily driver...

Comes with the territory, I suppose.

I mean you see a lot of them in South Florida, it's not unheard of. It's just both of my cars are still super cars. One car is 3x the price of the other.

I was thinking of buying a car and just putting money into it as just a fun car to have. But I already have two cars that are more then fun. So it's hard place.
