Congratulations on the car.

Your supposed to put the journal up on your birthday itself! Happy BDay

Congratulations on reaching alcohol age (it's 18 in the UK, right?). I'll be 18 this summer.

Happy Birthday.

Well for my birthday I got a load of friends over and got completely mangled, was an awesome night! I didn't even care about my hangover since I had such a good time.

I went to a pub then on to nightclub tonight aswell, so I'm fairly drunk now too, fuck I love being 18.

Happy birthday.
You really have to be lucky to be able to buy a car at the age of 18 :). I don't think I'll even have money for the driving license ....

I bet you'll rip some fully hectik skidz with that whip uleh

Ahh yes, nice....new car!

Now, the question that I have: Any plans to pimp it up? You know.....tinted windows, chrome rims, killer sound system? Yea, assuming you got the money, you can turn your new car in to a real "chick-pick-her-upper"!

But then again, I think I might have watched too many episodes of the TV show "Pimp My Ride". If you are a car buff, this is the show to see.
Anyway, I'm very happy for you Livewire, a guy of your age should always have a good set of wheels. Just take good care of your car and enjoy it, have fun!

Tito, tinted windows and chrome rims are hideously tacky. If you need to spend money on a car to pick up women, you might want to reevaluate your attitude.

In theory, I agree with you Huntey. To tell you the truth, I was being a bit sarcastic, I don't really mean he should spend his hard earned money that way. Too much vanity is not smart. That's why I said that I might have watched too many Pimp My Ride shows, you know.....as a hint to my little joke.

Now, as for the attitude you mentioned, all I can say is what's perceived as tacky and then cool varies from country to country. It's really a question of people's different cultures. In the United States, in cities like New York, Miami and Los Angeles, cars, limos and SUV's with tinted windows and chrome rims are the norm. They are cool in not just the poor neighborhoods, but also the rich ones. Where I live, in Puerto Rico, it's the same story. I'm sure it's a different story in Europe though, tricked out and pimped up cars Hip-Hop style are not really popular there, it's just not part of the society's fabric there, it would be considered "foreign".

One other really big culture difference between the U.S. and much of the rest of the world, is guns. In the U.S., owning a gun is practically a God given right to Americans. In fact, it's part of the national constitution. But in the U.K., most of Europe, Japan, and some other countries, it's a big no-no to own guns for no good reason. Australia, I'm not to sure about their guns laws, so I can't comment on them.

Anyway, coming back to the car with tinted windows and chrome rims, personally I will not bother with such a thing, I'm already past that age group, it does not suit me.

Man Tito, you've gotta be the most strait-faced sunuvabitch on TWHL.

I couldn't detect your sarcasm if I had a Sarcasometer(c) strapped to my belt.

Why thank you srry, I will take that as a compliment. You know what, I should then go to Las Vegas and enter the million dollar poker challenge! On second thought, nah! I might end up as a street bum.

happy birthday!

if I changed anything about my car Tito it'll be the sound system, nothing to the actual look of the car.

Just slap a subwoofer in the back and some expensive speakers and I'm good to go.

Excellent.
