uhm yeah it's pretty big, grow cows and sheep and theres fruit as well. you have a farm?
I havn't worked there in a while due to hsc so i don't really know what's going on with it now but i'll be heading up to it as soon as exams are over.
yeah we had a landcruiser before, they are better in side imo like it's got way more room but the hilux drives like a real machine

nah they have really weak motors tbh then again all mine were 20yrs old
i wouldnt call them unbreakable, but they are easily fixed
and they are unbreakable when compared to newer model hilxes with IFS. the solid axles take way more punishment etc

um got a hole in the radiator and blew the motor up when it overheated and crashed the other into a tree but i fixed it and now the motor in it is fucked as well

Like I said, not going to waste my time arguing.. Well I don't know how I can solve your misunderstanding, it's still not a big deal to me, but hey.. that's just me & the way I was raised.. A car is a car, no matter how much it is.. I just seemed to like that model and when I was asked I told them what I wanted & they got it..
Just know that people may take your attitude as an insult, even if you don't mean it that way. The fact that your parents can just go out and buy a car that is worth much more than I make per year... Is unsettling. To me and others.

But meh. It's money.

People get jealous... So what? Just be careful or you'll always be defending yourself - especially on these forums.

Fair enough but if the general mood of the forum hasn't made you realise, you're a very fortunate and lucky person. I can think of plenty of adults who would struggle to get $80k let alone be able to spend it on a car.

That being said, I sincerely hope your parents weren't saps and paid $80k for a 370z given that at launch, even in automatic, it was low $70's driveaway for the coupe and now has dropped to mid $60's driveaway. Add $10k for the convertible.

This is my first car, modified by me. 1990 Z32 300ZX, does consistent mid 14 second passes down the strip with crap tyres and will be doing low 14's in the upcoming weeks ;) Not bad for 6k right?

A bloke I used to know at school used to have a similar one to the above. Pretty good cars considering the price imo. Getting harder to find them in good condition though.
