Hahaha....and you believe that??? Tell me, how did he pay for it himself...

Option 1. He has a job. But who hires a 19 year old and pays him a $50K signing bonus.

Option 2. He got a loan. Hahaha...what bank would give a 19 yr old a $50K loan to buy a sports car??? Banks are RISK AVERSE

Option 3. He's been saving his pennies since he was 3 yrs old. And he can afford insurance how?

Option 4. HIS PARENTS PAID FOR IT!!!

Option 5. He deals crack rock and pimps his mom

:cry::cry::cry:
i pray for that car .... for now
Ooops, I didn't mean to offend you, I didn't think we had any closet Audi/VW fans Just in my opinion they are overcomplicated and underengineered, but if you like fixing complex electronic glitches with overpriced German parts...to each his own.

As for the fuel filler release, open the compartment in between the seat backs and you will see the lever. This is if my memory serves me correctly. If it isn't there, it is on the other side of the driver's seat (by the door). It's been a while since I last drove an S2k.

So, do you have an S2k? I've driven a few of them. They are fun but I wouldn't want to go on a long distance cruise with them. It is a little buzzy even at 120 kph and the tach at 4,000 RPM My SiR revs about the same speed but it is much quieter. Even that though can get tiring.

Have fun,

My car revs @ 3000 @ 120 km/h. 4000 RPM for 120 is pretty fast. heh. I'll hit about 150 when I'm @ 4000 RPM.

But I guess the S2000 does that intentionally so you keep the car in the high rev region (cuz the car sucks at low rpms).

LOL, so Option 5 applies. That's cool...how does he get exclusive footage? My buddy and I were gonna do this, but my morals got the best of me. I'd rather do something that I won't go to hell for

Actually, there is a sad but true option 6....He steals cars. A cop told me (who investigates stolen vehicles) that he knows of a "Kid" who has a few cars, a nice summer home in the Muskokas, where he keeps his boat, etc. Supposedly, this kid learned to steal cars when he was still in elementary school. This person is barely of University age right now, and his mother tells the cops "He's a good business man".

Stolen cars is now the biggest growing crime. It's getting bigger than the drug trade, believe it or not. Watch out for you Civics (actually any Honda)! I found out that about HALF of all stolen cars in the GTA are Hondas. Not necessarily new ones either.

He doesn't make content. There are tons of company's that you can buy content from, kinda like renting it. You can eve get companie's to do everything to run the site for you. There's tons of affiliate programs out there for this.

This guy made his money basically by spamming and using dialer systems.

Yeah car theft is huge now. If I wanted too, I could pick up a new Escalade or X5 for like $20 grand with full papers, vins, even a bill of sale. It's all about who your connections are I guess. I would never risk that ****, even if I did have the cash.

He's not my cousin. He's a mutual freind. Him and his partner don't do business with other peeps. Like they handle all their own ****. I can't even get in on this with them.

However, a freind and I are talking about starting up something in this industry, so we might be interested in buying content from you. Send me a PM and we can get the wheels turning on this.
