haha does this has to do w/ anyone on the board?

This is more of a rhetorical question. I said a kid I know has a lot of money into his S, probably more than Jsap1 or I and Jsap1 somehow pulled 80k out of the bag. I dont know how he got that much, but im talking about more along the lines of 20k. I understand that isnt more than you have into the S, but I was just trying to say that a 17 year old can afford a 3k bodykit.

I know what youre talking about. Saw an article about a kid in Maxim. He was making $250,000+ per year. I cant remember exactly. Anyways, I think he said that he bought a G35 Coupe. Id be rolling in Ferraris and Rolls Royces if I had that money!

that's prolly why he can make $250K

smart enough not to blow all his money on a depreciating "toy"

i know there are some smart ass computer genius kids who play online poker under their older siblings name. its highly unlikely that these kids would buy an S2000 with $40,000 worth of mods instead ing buying a porsche, $80k is simply nothing to these kids. Its a whole different world out there for them

My old roomate has a friend like that. He's bought his parents a $500k house and retired them already from playing poker. Did you know that "Profesional Gambler" can be an occupation?

Although he looked like a druggy. He dropped out of high school to play poker and he was dressed like a thug and had a lot of jewely on. He probably spent all the money besides the G35 at Jacob the Jeweler.

My good friend bought a CLK430, Corvette C5, and 1967 Vette Convertible, all over the course of his high school. Combination of investments and flipping Ferraris. The markup on an F50 back when nobody had heard of DupontRegistry.com or ebaymotors was pretty hefty.
