Animal instinct says to go out of your way to impress people, especially girls. See: Myspace, Facebook, etc. Maybe I answered my own question? Human nature.

Seems so, isn't that why your building a rhd car with minimal backseat area instead of a car with a real backseat for your baby?

why is your spending your money on a throwaway item like a car rather than investing in your childs future? towards slowerthanyou, obvs.

Obviously you both don’t know my financial situation... I am more than capable of supporting my child just because I own a 240sx doesn’t mean I’m a typical broke ass 240sx owner.. I already have a second car with a large backseat...What’s so wrong with having a weekend car? Some people can afford to have more than one car, is that so hard to imagine? Sorry for not being a broke ass kid… me and my wife pull in 4 thousand a month take home after bills.. Is it so wrong to spend money on something that I enjoy when I own my own house and can actually afford my hobby? My child which isnt even born yet already has fully paid college tuition, its called post 911 GI Bill, look it up... So I built the car Sean 4wheeldrifts13 now owns in order to impress people? No don’t think so... Isn’t the reason why we modify cars is because it’s fun and we enjoy it? I think so... Lets sway this conversation away from personal attacks because it’s just not needed and it’s funny… you seem to know me oh so well but I have no fucking idea who the hell you are lol…

Oh and by the way.. As to why I don’t just walk away from this conversation.. I actually believe it or not find this amusing... I am not trying to get on anyone’s nerves or anything lol I hope none of you are really taking this seriously... So everyone, keep my personal life out of it... This thread has nothing to do my child or anything else involving my personal life, thanks

Umm... I don't build my cars to impress anyone. I do what I do to make myself happy and to have fun. Sometimes I might be torn between two options and ask for opinions though.

You haven't exactly built anything yet so that point in null.

I think the car list is retarded. Don't know why you want to show off every average car you've owned/sold/wrecked or had stolen.

If the list went something like this:

09' - 997 GT3 put into wall at sebring
06' - Gallardo Superlaggera - sold
08' - 430 scudaria - tracked then traded
09' - CLK63 AMG Black current DD
10' - 997 GT3 RS - Current track beater

Then I could totally understand why you would put that in your sig, otherwise its just showing off how much your car choices/driving record sucks (in 99% of cases.)

I should have specified. By "build" I meant the few modifications I've done. I didn't get rid of all the tan in my interior to please anyone. I didn't get a pig nose lip or paint my roof black to impress anyone. Nor did I accent my interior in suede to impress anyone. Everything I do is for me.

Thats also because none of those things impress people. I can understand why you did them, because all that stuff is a step in the right direction to make the car nicer, but its nothing monumental or outside the norm.
