Stop being so rich please and thanks!
 

Don't you hate it when you have a sexy *** 370z and then all of a sudden you see a 20 year old with a 70,000 dollar corvette C7 3LT packaage and Z51 package. WTF!?

i had to google this because i forgot the exact quote, but here's something someone (probably googled) and sent to me one time:

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

Wow that was really deep haha. Man your right and I completely agree. I am pleased now.

I agree all that matters is being happy. I was happy when I made a quarter of what I make now. Appreciate what you have earned for yourself, in the long run you will be better off. I like to use people more wealthy than myself as motivation. Now I am also a realist and know I will never own a Lamborghini without hitting the lotto and I don't play the lotto so I'm SOL haha!

You guys are some real people. Sti, evo, stang, camaro forums are not like this. Deep rooted people here!

nope.... cos I got what I have through my own hard work and hard earn-money.


the other's just got it granted because he is being spoiled..

What do you have that he doesn't?
Answer: Z.

Seriously though, it doesn't mean he's happy. To some people, it's never enough.

I have a friend who's dream car is a 458 Italia. It's reasonable for him to expect the means to acquire one in the next few years, given his career trajectory, so it is a real aspirational goal he has his heart set on. Unfortunately for him, he sours when he sees other young(er) presumptively less deserving acquaintances pick up his dream car first.

I can't wrap my head around why a smart driven person would let someone else's purchases or success make him unhappy, especially when he's in a perfectly enviable situation himself.

Whenever some event makes me feel envious, I try to distill the objective change from before said event to the present... usually it's nothing material. When I recognize that, the envy melts away.

As for kids getting corvettes.. he's (or his parents, whatever) just one more purchaser convincing auto manufacturers to keep making legitimate performance packages. It's a good thing for all of us.

Ummmmm, nope. I don't give a rats a$$ what other rich kid drives. I'm enjoying mine. My neighbor got himself a Cayman vert and I said to myself, you go bro, have fun with your oil change. I figured, mine looks say better rolling down the street or on the driveway. Stop worrying about others bro.

yes.

doesn't bother me one bit

Especially around my area....

Rich Asian kids all over the place... Getting work done on my car, and I constantly see them pull up.. 18 - 20+ year olds driving AMGs, Porches, GTRs, etc.. Just dropping money like it was nothing...

But it all comes down to how you look at it... If you're purchasing just to please others then you will never be happy... Its like modding.. it never ends!

But if you get because you always wanted one, then like Alcheng said, it just feels nice to see your blood and sweat sitting on your drive way being all sexy that you wanna touch it, caress it, stare at it..... Uhm.. err.. I'm getting a little carried away.. But you know what I mean... :excited:

Big kudos on this post. Very well said.

Had a pastor once who mentioned something very wise about contentment:

"Contentment is wanting what you already have."

That was over 20 years ago, and I've never forgotten that.

We go as deep as our cars paint most of the time

Not deep enough considering the [lack of] thickness of our paint. :stirthepot:

What pisses me off more? When I see an 18 year old driving a Z that daddy bought him. I worked long and hard to afford a car like this and some parent is stupid enough to give their kid one? BS.

Life isn't amount $$. If you're chasing money then you'll never be happy. Enjoy the moments and experiences.

honey badger dont care

i grew up on ramen noodles, and powdered milk. my friends in high school had vipers and corvettes. few years later i was hanging with guys with bentlys, lambos, etc...

did it bother me? when i was young yes. then i hung out with some of these guys, they didnt know how to start a dish washer, change their oil, cook food, etc... then i realized, i pitty them, they have material things i may never have, they dont appreciate anything, and they will never truly live theyre lives. its unfortunate.

Are you THAT 20 YEAR OLD on the Corvette forum comin in here to get your rocks off on the Z boys? You better get back to the Evo, Stang, and Camaro forums for that satisfaction; we all Love our cars in here LMAO

This..
Life's to Short to care about who has what car.

And how old is the OP exactly?

Stop being so rich? Really? How do you know the driver of that car is so young? Did you actually ask for his ID?

Maybe his parents are well off or won the lotto or whatever, I don't see a problem with it. They spend their money on whatever they want. As long as the kid isn't being douchey about it doing illegal stuff and revving at every stop light, it's fine.

sounds like your mommy bought you your Z... :icon18: KIDDING!

:confused: not sure wat that is, but no.

im happy that im healthy, my family is healthy, i have a house and a few cars, a few other toys, and have a wonderful wife. you can't buy that with 70K. :icon17:

Not really, unless it's obvious he treats the car like ****. Then I want to beat him to death. If you're lucky enough to be that guy, take care of the car.

You should go to Barrett-Jackson in Vegas. Talk about big shots who openly flaunt thier money and want you to know it.

Lol. I'm paying for the car myself, still got 4 more years...my mom was actually against me getting a Z because it wasn't practical enough for NYC. ;)

ain't nobody got time for this!

The 370z is an entry level sports car.. Nothing special. Even g37 drivers a car under 40,000 know they don't want to pay that much for a Nissan.

:icon14:......ok.......

Yeah, $30-45k sports cars are entry level. :rolleyes: Maybe if you lease a base model. Oh, wait...

370z is an overpriced failure, people don't want to spend that much for a Nissan.. That's why just for a few more thousand you get a g37 non boy rAcer status . That's why you see them everywhere

Yeah, that $100k Nissan seems to be a complete failure too. How's the view with your head wedged so firmly up your ***? Maybe it's not the car, it's that everyone you meet knows they're better than you and feel sorry for the car?

:ban:

It won't work. Every time the ban expires, he comes back. If I hated a car so much, and all the other owners hated me more than herpes, I'd leave the forum. Any attention is good attention, right?

Haha! :iagree:

Just for you this is my last post ever. Enjoy the car seriously. My lease is done in a year not too much longer. Sorry for all the bs

He worked long and hard to be able to buy his kid a Z. Why be upset?

I once met a 16 year old whose father purchased her a brand new 911 Turbo Cabriolet for her birthday. If you have the money, why not?

:happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance:

Because that's a good way to end up with a dead kid when they wrap the car around a tree?
