as for earning things, I feel the effort it takes to become an "A" student and avoid being a "punk-ass" in this hip hop culture is the same as cash....Besides, my son will receive the car after I've lovingly maintained it for 4 years....so, he'll be getting a 4 yr old used car...book value at that time should be equal to a new Honda Accord....I'm certainly not handing anything to my kid, it will be earned in the classroom, and out of respect and goodness.....In my eyes, my son doesnt need to be exploited in some shit job they give to 16 yr olds, while he misses out on study time, practicing his guitar, and after school activities like debate team and yearbook staff....

ok, there is no doubt that the majority of the girls on this show are spoiled prisses....however, like so many reality shows, the director and editor's job is to be provocateurs- the whole point of the show is to incite that anger you feel at the child and the parents.....do you really believe everything you see?.....you need to not drink the kool -aid that is fed to you.....This is not a Ken Burns documentary my man....

yeah, some cars rims are very prone to curb rash, its really annoying to have to be so careful everytime you pull into a driveway or something. my wife has already rashed both of her front rims on her mustang. not super bad, but a noticeable little spot on each wheel.

I personally dont like the design changes of the g37, and I prefer the g35 looks.
also, almost 3700 lbs. with 30lbs less torque than a 135i. I'd take the hit on the lease return and put your butt into the better vehicle |

When I was in high school in the late '80s, a kid in my class drove a Ferrari 328 GTS. It was registered to his father, but the son drove it. Needless to say, everyone in the school was impressed as hell... until the kid totaled it in an accident.

I think its too expensive for a first car, and I think that your first car should be used. I also think if your parents pay for the car you should pay for the insurance and gas.
As far as speed i think your fine with either model. Just be smart about it. |

^+1 ...but if the 135i gets more than a 36k base msrp. I'm going to look strongly into the G37S which comes at 35500. I'd be getting a slower vehicle, but I always like NA engines.

I agree with you on exterior....interior is absolutely sumptuous though.....but, it is faster than previous model at about 5.3 0-60......I will have to see and drive the 135 to make final decision.....i just hope the interior isnt cramped....

+100.....but I have a very strong feeling 135 base will be $34500-$35000......anything less will be amazing, anything more I'll have to really look harder at the G

Tubby; Teslaastro:
I'm fairly certain that starving war refugees in Africa could only laugh at the utter absurdity of your contributions to this thread. Compared to what they are going through at this very moment, there is no way that you (Tubby) or your child four years from now (Teslaastro) could do that would merit a car worth an amount of money that could feed a lot of people who did not ask for that crap to happen to them. I sounds like a great car. I think it's cool to enjoy luxuries like this, but I also think it's important to remind people about what's going on in other people's REALLY difficult lives. Read what I've stated as MY OPINION, grow up a little as human beings, or ignore what I've written. |

and please teslaastro when you respond to HKevinF can you keep it to one post? it is really obnoxious when you make 5 separate posts all in a row so that you can respond to each quote separately. in case you didn't know, it is possible to imbed multiple quotations in one message. thanks.
