Lucky... I asked my parents if they would get me a five speed for christmas and they said "we don't have enough money" then went and bought an '09 F150 King Ranch edition, and they won't let me get a job.

A lot of rich parents won't let their kids work. My rich friend's says that they're just average, but average people I know don't own Apartment complexes and own houses in other countries. Anyways, yes you are lucky to be 15 and have a very clean looking 240 with all those parts. At 15 I was selling boxes of candy door to door in the Bay area. It was so humiliating

Thanks yall. im not sure what direction to go in with rims tho. basically buy some alright fitting knockoffs and do the bushings, rucas and rlcas and whatnot. or buy some excellent fitting rims and go 5 lug.. choices choices.

Not to be a thread jacker, but I'm not rich, I bought my s13 with money from doing my school friend's brakes, oil, and whatever else... I'm pretty much the neighborhood mechanic at 16 since I'm not allowed to go get a real job, and I just spent 400 dollars on paint and went broke again. At the same time if I have one C in my grades I'm not allowed to drive. I guess I think that someone has to work for what they have to appreciate it to the fullest.

man... all i have to say is props to you for using your money to fund this thing. i've been there man, built an insane motocross bike when i was 15. its hard, and sometimes hard to justify investing all that money. but in my opinion do it when your young, before car insurance, and college. that car will mean so much more to you because of the fact that you have put so much money, time, and love into that thing, hell, you probably wont be able to sell it. lol
