You're not even 18 and you drive a 545?
Start counting your blessings now, son. Many of us less fortunate than you had to work hard and wait until our 20's or 30's
for our first bimmer.

this i HAVE to reply to....
when we did an exchange with the 101st airborne at fort bragg
we (77 men) did there jumps course, and they came to aldershot to do ours......
are you ready for the results....can you handle the truth
every swinging dick in 2 para passed your jumps course (and we broke the assult course record)
delta force (who were there at the time) didnt even come in the top 25.
the 100+ 101st airborne guys, who came to aldershot and brise norton for there "P" coy, only 4 passed...yes 4/100+
what does that tell you about our "boy scouts"?
i have faught and trained with your 82nd and delta force, and when i left the army worked in iraq et al for blackwater and amour group,
im not blowing trumpets here but all your S/F guys are trained by us for black opps (theres a reason for that)
the american guys, who were a great bunch of lads, had fantastic upper body strength, but could not "tab" to save there lives. its all about core strength, and only your legs will carry you there. (unless you have a humvee )
just a reply to your boy scouts jibe mate.

Yea I know that I am spoiled. Down here in Naples it's almost considered normal that kids my age drive BMW's. I know that's a little messed up. Unlike my friends though I know to charish every moment and I understand that this is by no means even close to normal. I have tremendous respect for my car and there is not a day where it hasnt been clean. My car Is always spotless inside and out. I still work, I have a job valet parking and I have extremely high respect for the working class. I also gave my dad all of my savings $4,500. And I have paid for all of my mods. Almost $1000 now.
This is probably the 4th time that I have given this speech. Maybe I should a copy of it somewhere lol.

I was going to comment on how they might've taught you parachuting and fighting and black ops and all that, but didn't teach you spelling or grammar. Then I noticed I already pointed that out to you the other day.
it was not a pre requisite for the job i was doing.
but should i ever feel the need to punctuate someone to death, i will look you up.
take care.

Our boys don't like to jump out of planes. They like to stay on the ground and kick ass.

the other thing that got you fellas worried was you jump from around 1,000 feet, where as we jump from 600 feet operational and 250 feet with the LLP.
thats 11 seconds in the air (30 with an irvin canopy) less time to get shot at from the ground.
makes your arse twitch.
and no time for a reserve canopy to deploy.
happy days.
