Sooooo, why don't you get a BMW instead? It looks nice and the chicks dig it.

What's the whole point of all that power when you won't ever use it?

Btw, throw me 10k that I may need to continue College? It's not much and you can save me a lot from the interest I'm about to pay in a loan....

Sheesh, it burns me when people have money to burn when other people worry about when their next paycheck is going to come from.....

That life must be rough. My senior year (2001) I was driving a '73 plymouth boat that cost me $770 because we were poor. I had to work during highschool to help my mother pay bills because my father left us. Must be nice to get things like that. I thank god everyday for the military, otherwise I would have never had the chance to get where I am now. I tend to see that people that just have things given to them don't fully respect what they have, just my observations. On a different note, your family must be mental to put you in a 500 hp car on the street that young! A racetrack sure, but not the street.

Why?
People with money to burn = me working/getting paycheck.

You guys do realize that "skyline" is the model and "GTR" is the trim. You could get any of the skyline cars in a boring sporty family coupe (non turbo, non race winning suspension etc) since the car's inception.

the "S" and "GTR" variants indicated higher performance versions of the vehicle... but calm down with the "not a skyline" thing - the skyline, by itself was no supercar - the various performance trims they created were.
