The silver spoons comment was uncalled for, as I'm sure you eat your caviar off of a spoon of bone to preserve the taste.
the license plate must read "1 PRCNT" or "PR3 M3D".

and yeah, I AM just jealous, as in college I shared a buick skylark with my mom.
Wow the butthurt is very strong with this one. Its not his fault you had parental issues growing up. Most people wealthy enough to give their kids nice things, get gratification from knowing that their hard work paid off for their family. For all I know Bob is is a great son with straight A's and works very hard in other aspects of life that dont involve flipping burgers to buy some ricer 4 banger. Nothing he has said here looks like bragging or showing off, but you sure seem insecure about yourself.

You know what, i will definitely look out for one! i was planning to get some exhaust work done, but i think I'm going to hold off on that. The sprint booster wont void any warranties would it?

I am unsure about that. I have read on this board that it will not. I remove the cable when I have it serviced just to be safe. Takes 30 seconds. Good luck!

Offfff course he thinks I'm spoiled... Thats fine tho, as long as I'm worthy in my parents eyes, i could care less about what some guy on the internet assumes about me. And thanks for the explanation, i would have never guessed what that meant LOL.
