And i dont want to here this Money Bullshit i remorgage my house i wasnt born with a suilver spoon in my mouth! Just look at how much Money you are gong to LOOSEyou gonna loose this no matter what at least know you had some fun with it for all that time and work!

What you gonna do buy an M3 or lesser car and be propa fucking unhappy With it! or have to spend a fortune on that aswell
