That was the whole point of my argument. 
that and that I don't feel I was raped on my bmw warentee considering how much people here dump into fieros and engine swaps. my money gave me peace of mind. even my wipers are coverd. lol and it was definitly well spent to me.
i also would rather put my money into my bmw's then into my fieros, im just not as big a fiero guy as I am a bmw guy.
anyways no time left to argue with anyone else.
I am driving off to louisiana for dirtbiking with some old friends! 1800 miles drive. i can make it in 28 hours if I don't stop.

Quite possibly could change my opinion if I test drove one of these new BMWs. Im just baseing my statement on what I know as of right now from personal experience

If you ever take a vacation to hollywood or anywhere in socal, your welcome to stop by and thrash on one of mine 
so is tinton, since I don't think he has driven one to clearly make his statments. altho he did have a camaro with abs.
but not even close to the same.

i guess you didn't get the porshea thread. it was a joke about one of cali kids storys. apperently you didn't figure that out and took me serious?
the reason I offerd the xbox 360 for fiero repair work is i own over 5 cars. my fieros are on the very bottom of my give a **** about it list. one sits with low milage in storage. and the other has a blown head gasket. I don't play my xbox 360 anymore. so i made a offer to give it to someone that wanted to do some work on my car.
does that mean I don't make over 100 thousand a year? no it means I no longer have a use for my xbox 360. and don't feel like acctualy putting any money into my fiero. because it isn't at the top of my prioritys.
yes and i am sure everyone else here in huntington beach, new port beach, hollywood, beverly hills, and malibu are all upset about being rapped on there bmw warentee's if only we all where smart enough to drive fieros like you huh?
and u just discribed exactly what i was saying when u explained that no one was at the top of there game 100 percent of the time. so what are you trying to argue with me against?
that u have more on skill track time? good for you, your older. you have had the time to do so.
it wasn't a contest. it was asking tinton how much he had. "none" and he goes off on how bmw traction control is gay.
guess what. you just said yourself no one is ever at the top of there game. and that, that system has and can save epoples lives.
and since this forum loves proof allow me to post some. so you don't have to ask. your all also to welcome some other members here that i hang out with. that i don't bullshit.
I buy my own **** . with my own money. with business i opend myself.

Hahahaha **** you. So what if you're 2 years older than me? Suddenly you're king of the racers and I'm a punk kid who only knows how to drive based off what I saw on F&F? Yeah, get your head out of your ass. 
You have 5 cars and you're 23 years old? You can't even type straight, give me a ****ing break. You can't afford that **** , I bet your parents bought that BMW for you with the extended warranty. No wonder, you're probably some dumbass rich trust fund kid from California.
Traction control is gay. Fact. I speak nothing but truth here. If you're looking for performance driving, TCS, and stability control WILL hold you back. True, you can turn it off. But why have it in the first place? Because you can't drive worth **** in regular traffic?

I couldnt do burnouts and powerslides thru corners with ESP. It retarded throttle and applied brakes (not good in a high speed turn anyway). Burnouts with it felt like someone banging the rear end with a sledge hammer over and over until I let up. Those are both the reasons I like rwd V8s.

I don't care how old you are you still post like a spoiled child. Spend your money however you want, coming from Hollywood is certainly no guarantee that you spend your money wisely. Extended warranties are by and large a rip off. They have to be or the companies offering them would be out of business. It's the way it works. The premiums collected are greater than the money spent for repairs. What you're buying is peace of mind and that's only required if you think you're driving a car that is 1) very unreliable and will need service or 2) even routine service costs way out of proportion to the repairs of other cars.
As to your business..........well, whatever. At least you're employed and that's a good thing. I'm a little confused about a few things, though.
You have pictures of two different cars, as well as you've mentioned your Fieros. You aren't paying for those with a couple of sunglass kiosks, I guarantee that much.
You also have the kiosks in Washinton State but you live in the LA area. That's a hell of a commute, so you're paying employees. Again, whatever.
Yes, I understood your post was complete and utter BS in the thread about racing the "porshea". For it to be a joke it has to be funny. It wasn't.
What IS funny is how you seem to think that your car is a "drivers car" when it's a fairly anemic (considering it's price) 4 door with an automatic, abs, and traction control. Putting BMW on the front doesn't automatically make it a sports car.
My opinions of your car don't matter, though, as long as you like it. Likewise, your opinions of what *I* drive, own, and build don't matter to me either. I'd even put my wife's '98 Riviera up against your BMW (even though it has nearly 300,000 miles) and I'll bet you'd have to work your butt off to turn a quicker lap on a road course. And that's the least "sporty" car I own. We can work up from there.........

your ass has never been on a race track, or even in a scca event. you sure know what your talking about you juast proved that.
trust fund kid? what because i live in california? sorry, my mom is only a registerd nurse. and she never gives me money. ever. i worked hard. i worked my way up from piss on employee to a manager. i bought myself a sportbike and other things i enjoyed. i got tired of watching other people make hundreds of thousands a year. so i sold some of my own things i paid for and opend my first kiosk. i used the profits from that. and bought out a second kiosk from another owner that was running it bad, and turned it around. now i make well over 100 thousand a year not including christmas months. of novemember and december. which rake in the most. i didn't have help from anyone. now im in louisiana opending my third busniness. sorry i didn't get help from my mom. i moved out when i was 18 and havnt had help from my mom since then. except i have stayed at her house a few times when in the area.
so don't tell me what u THINK I am or how i made my money. when u don't even know what the **** your talking about.
