Default Apologies

So, a little more than two years ago I was banned from these forums. Glad I finally grew up and I'm finally able to get back on here.

Huge apologies to all that I was cumbersome or just a straight up douchebag to.

Like I said, glad to be back. I'll be turning 18 this April and I'll try to make it to the next rally if all goes well.

Right now I'm driving a 2000 Lexus GS300 and an e46 330Ci ZHP.

Here are some pics of my babies. Sorry for the poor picture quality as they were all taken with my phone.









Anyway. If you accept my apology, thank you. If not, thank you anyhow.

Yes it was. She bought an LS430 and handed it over to me and I just took on the rest of the payments. Only another 2 years. I have a steady job now(crosses fingers) and it's been making me enough money so I'm able to keep both cars.

Lay offs are getting more frequent at my place of employment though, so it scares me a bit.

Speak with Chris and maybe he can make an exception for you if he feels you'd fit in with the crowd.

Honestly, if it does happen.... Sell a car and go on the rally.

Best money you'll ever spend in terms of automotive experience.

Ha, I doubt it. Not after what happened before.

If I do sell either one, it'll definitely be the BMW. Slap some turbos and new internals on the GS and I'll have a luxury Supra. The ZHP is just too overpriced for what you get. It lacks too much power and it lacks stability at high speeds. Don't get me wrong, it's a great car, but for what it is it just doesn't justify the $49K price tag.

Yeah, easier said than done.

I do know this one guy, his name if Jeff Tsai. He resides in Texas and currently owns a 650hp GS300 single turbo or something like that. He fabricated the kit himself. I'll post the ClubLexus link if I can somehow manage to find it. That thing's a beast.

Found the ClubLexus link, but his pictures aren't showing.

There is this one, though.

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/sout...ight-meet.html

His hood is painted black because something in his engine bay caught on fire, I can't remember what it was, but it left a nice big burn mark on it.

It doesn't matter, you aren't going to turbo the Lexus and your mom wont let you sell the ZHP.

^^^^^LOL

He speaks da truff!

If you can barely afford both cars...not only will a rally expense hurt you, but building and boosting a car will put you out of business.

In for the mechanics lien!

Lol I don't live with my mom. It's not even her car as the bank still has the title.

I was never in business. I have a decent job, as I've said. I have no problem affording them both at the moment, I'm just unsure about how much longer my employment will last..

So, its not your car, or your moms, sounds like you're in prime position to make a bit of coin off it.
