So, I got bored and found some olllld (about half a year) pictures of my nephew Patrick.

He doesn't have those flabby arms anymore, he's grown quite a bit but anyways, that's one of my sister and her husband's two dogs, Caesar, obviously, the carrot wasn't for him, but...The two have an understanding obviously (look at the pooches eyes). :)

awww that's cute. Feeding the dog his carrot. They must be best friends.

I agree with Dimitris, Z06 I jealous you.

I jealous that dog. Free carrots.


Cute nephew Ghalos. :)

Dimitris, you look like that "gay" singer....Enrique Iglesias !!!!!

Dude, Z06, how old are you? You look younger than most 'Vette owners, in my experiences at least.


I'm 23 turning 24 next month. :D


Z06 i jealous you. very nice car and you already hit your first chick!!


I hit my first chick?

I'm not that good of a ladies man sorry :p

OMG!! YOU CAN SEE ME!!

Holy sh*t ZO6, what do you do for a living ??? I'm well in the 40's and I don't see the day I'll be able to afford a new car in this price range !!

Dimitris, are you talking about the one i'm thinking of ?

Dimitris, you look like that "gay" singer....Enrique Iglesias !!!!!
That's a good think. Enrique Iglesias is HOOOOTTT.

He was also just diagnosed with AIDs.

ZO6, when you have a family with two sons, a wife at home, a mortgage, personal loans, cable, electricity, various insurances, and one $50,000 income here's what you have to make with.;)

crossle 32f: yes... i think it's easy to understand :)

He was also just diagnosed with AIDs.

Wow crossle, that aveo made your story sadder than I think I'm able to deal with. I was hoping for at least a Kia or something...

Hey thats no so bad man.

My life is just starting and I decided to have the car of my dreams ahead of time, I think once settle down and have things to worry about a small cheap economy car will be my only choice :p

atleast you have something to get around, before my car, I had to rely on my chevroLEGS to get around and wasn't nice seeing my classmates with brand new STis and Evos.

Come on TABBER, don't make it worst than it is. That thing is smoother than a lot of japanese crap. You just don't pay for the name...

well done.... you have a point here i will be 21 in a month and i have my chevroLEGS!!! too but i will buy a car in this month :):) and it won't be soooo expensive
all my friends have a car from 18 not evos!!!!



kia is (made in) korea that belongs in hyundi

Yeah theres really no point on getting a car while you are in school, atleast for me it wasn't that important.

I guess since we come from different countries we are raised different than american people.

You.. aren't American? I guess that makes some sense.


Oh, and yes, you need a car in school. There is more to high school than just traveling there by bus. Some of us have to pay for part of college.

Z06, you're not american? Hmmm...I thought you were from my state?!?

I'm from south america, Argentinian to be exact.

I lived just 1 mile from my school so a car wasn't really all that important and when I went to college, I prefered to pay for it than get a new car and have insurance, repairs to worry about.

Z06, you're not american? Hmmm...I thought you were from my state?!?


Yes, I live in New York.

Just not born american, I'm a citizen now but I still love my old country, I been here since 5 so you can say I'm American :p

Ahhhhhh...Cool, where in NY?

Oh, ok. I thought you were saying you didn't live in NY. Its all good now, "country" buddy.

w0w...I feel left out way up here in Canada, and I can't even drive...alone..(stupid learners permit)

Ahhhhhh...Cool, where in NY?

Larchmont and you?

Poughkeepsie, but I go to college at SUNY Albany.

*Edit*

Oh, I just looked at a map and realized how close that you are, it's like an hour south of me. Cool man, another Northeasterner :D .

I'd bet within the next few years you'll be moving because Westchester's an absolute *itch when it comes to housing prices and taxes. Then again, you do have a 50 thousand dollar car at 24...hehe

We should have a north east meeting of SCF. We'll meet at the Ferrari/Maserati festival thing at limerock. Then we can all throw cake at Ghalos.

Word, sounds like a good plan. I'm going, I'll even supply booze or drinks of the non-booze variety.

I'll supply the cake.

No guys, you should come at the Mont-Tremblant race track, north of Montreal. One of the toughest track in the world. And you could discover the Montreal nightlife...hehe !

Too bad it's 10 hours away!

Been to Canada once......hope it was the last time.

TTB, have you been in Ontario or one of the western provinces or in Quebec ? Because there's a hell of a difference...

Yeah, Toronto is absolutely great, my friend goes to the U of T there and it's fantastic for illegal activities.

*coughapril20thcough*

I was in Quebec

Boy I met a lot of people from the states and Europe and they liked it so much ! Lot to see, fantastic night life, some of the best restaurants anywhere. Why didn't you like it ?

Just wasn't too impressed with the nightlife I encountered (I thought Denver had better night life) or the food. I did meet quite a few interesting people but I have met interesting people in Kansas.

Just not for me I guess.

Where the hell in Kansas did you visit? A mental institution?

College girls are very interesting while drunk and horney.

Hells yes they are. But I'll bet Kansas' flatness that Albany "tricks" have them "licked".

And yes, that pun was intended.

yesterday i went with my friend to play with his nitro car....

It seems that nobody else got that one.

Canada is alright for skiing, and freezing your buttox off. Thats about all I can think of... Oh yeah, and free drugs.

Cool car/jump Dimitris.

I'll revive this thread.

As many Australians might know, the Gold Coast, my home town, was absolutely pounded with incredible amounts of rain in the past 24 hours. You might have seen the pictures on the telly of submerged cars and that sort. Thankfully my sh*tbox of a house was not flooded and saved from any major damage, although my pool overflowed.

It apparently rained about 350+mm of rain in the past 24 hrs. That's over a foot for those people who don't know the metric system.

Here's a few pics of the local uni flooded. Remember, all this damage was in the past 24 hrs. Pretty damn insane.

It's been a shocker here on the Coast, hopefully it will get better in the coming days. It's incredible how much rain fell. I had to stay at home ALL day because it was too dangerous to go outside. That's how bad it was. To put this in perspective, the amount of rain that fell in 24hrs was as much rainfall we get in about the space of 5 months.

Insane.

may i ask why

He's an immature tool...simple as that...And it has to do with talking to his squeaky assed self on XBL...whattatool.

Nice.. how old are you man? I always thought you were in your 20s.

I really like well, your car.. a lot, and the Cobra behind you. Plus that Impala looks like it might have something under the hood.. ;)

41 years old. (I just never really grew up.)

41 years old. (I just never really grew up.)
grow up but never grow old. thats my motto. and it looks like thats exactly what you did, i admire that.

Woot, the man even has good taste in art. *thumbs up*...nice lineup of cars, don't suppose that was qualifying or random?

You're 41 and you have a viper. What do you do for a living? Im guessing you have no children, cause usually guys who have vipers don't have children.

I've got 4 kids. Oldest is 13, youngest turns 6 in a couple of days. They love riding in the Viper. My 13 year old can't wait to drive it (but I'll be having him take a LOT of high performance driving lessons before I let him out on the street with either the Viper or the STI.)

I'm an attorney.

what type of cases do u handle

what type of cases do u handle

I specialize in patent, pharmaceutical, and corporate matters.

(Nothing very interesting.)

Now I seriously have a reason to study law. :D Always sounded somewhat interesting, and I thought I might be able to do it well since I'm a decent debater. But I bet that won't help you very much in law.

The same skills you develop in debate will help you as an attorney, whether you are using your skills at trial or in a negotiation. Writing well is also very important.

If you want to get on the fast track, my advice would be to take something in the sciences as your major in college. This will help you get into law school (you will stand out among the zillions of political science and english major applicants) and a scientific background can be very helpful in legal jobs these days.

I went to law school thinking I'd never have to do any math as a lawyer. Turns out my very first case was a patent case which revolved around measuring kinematic viscosity of liquids. Had to dust off my college calculus text book. More and more of business law has a scientific angle to it. Get a science degree, followed by a law degree and you will be in very high demand.

Thanks for the advice man, was thinking of doing the exact same thing in college; minus anything that had to do with law. Don't want this to become all off topic and such, but how's job security in the law industry?

Thanks for the advice man, was thinking of doing the exact same thing in college; minus anything that had to do with law. Don't want this to become all off topic and such, but how's job security in the law industry?

Job security isn't any worse than other professions, and it's better than some (not as easy to outsource legal work to India as some other types of work.) Job security in any industry these days is pretty much a thing of the past. The job market is a lot more competitive than it's ever been, and with all the mergers, industry upheavals, and restructurings, there are very few "secure" jobs anymore in any field.

Last piece of advice. Where you go to law school counts for waaay more than, say, where you go to medical school. Graduates of top law schools have a very easy time finding great jobs. Graduates of less prestigous law schools may have a difficult time finding a decent job. If you don't have the college grades and LSAT scores to get into a top law school, you may be better off choosing another profession.

I've got 4 kids. Oldest is 13, youngest turns 6 in a couple of days.

4 kids? Damn. I always thought that if you can raise more than 2 kids, you're a hero in my book. I'm one of three, so my parents had it easy compared to you. I have a friend who's dad is a lawyer, and he's rarely home. How do you balance your job and your children? I know that might be too personal, so feel free not to answer.

I have a friend who's dad is a lawyer, and he's rarely home. How do you balance your job and your children? I know that might be too personal, so feel free not to answer.

I started out working for a big law firm in New York City. Like your friend's dad, I was rarely home because the hours were so long and the work so intense. I didn't have time for my family, church, or anything else other than work. The money was really good, but it wasn't worth it for me. After a while, I realized that it wasn't going to get any better. So, after two years, I left the big firm and took a job with a very small company. There is lots of risk, and not as much money. Early on, we were barely making ends meet. However, the job gave me much more flexibility and a lot more time to spend with my family. I still have to work hard, but I don't have the same, constant grind of life at a big firm.

Even though I've done pretty well, I'm not making anywhere near as much money as the guys who stayed and made partner at the big firm. I don't care, however. I get to coach my son's football team, go to my kids' other activities, go out every week-end with my wife, take family vacations, and I'm usually home early in the evenings when everyone is still awake.

The trick is making family your first priority. Don't put them behind making lots of money. Put family first and you will be happy, no matter what. Put money first, neglect your family, and you won't be happy no matter how much money you make.

I'm not saying that your job shouldn't be a priority, because clearly it's important to do well in your job. I'm just saying that if your job shouldn't be your FIRST priority. Obviously, the better you are at doing your job, the more leeway and flexibility you are likely to get. I will go to work early instead of staying late. I will bring work home and work on it after the kids have gone to sleep rather than staying at the office and not coming home for dinner. When I travel, I do my very best to schedule my trips so as not to miss important stuff that's going on in my kids' lives. Sometimes, there are emergencies at work that absolutely have to be taken care of at the expense of family time. Nothing you can do about this. I've missed important kid events because of troubles at work. I just take care of the work emergency, and make up for it later with a little extra time with the kids.

When work and family conflict, don't automatically assume that work comes first. Just remember that your daughter's piano recital is every bit as important as going to dinner with a client. Do everything you can to reschedule the client meeting rather than miss the recital. It's really just that simple. If the job you are in requires so much of your time that you don't have anything left for your family, you really should consider a new job.

I've been lucky enough to have found a good job that both pays well and gives me time for my family. If I had to choose, however, I would give up my house, my car, and work at a much lower paying job before I would go back to a higher paying job that kept me from spending time with my family. My stuff is nice to have, but I was happy when I didn't have it, and I'd still be happy if I had to give it up. What I couldn't live without, however, is the time spent with my wife and kids.

I'll have to remember that when I want a Viper...

Well spoken, hopefully my brother in law will turn out seeing things the way you do, he's a lawyer in Atlanta, with a 1 and a half year old boy. He was working at a firm before making 10% what the other two associates were making, so he left on good terms and created his own firm and with cases from the old firm being referred to him and two new "underlings" as he calls them, he's able to make a huge increase in pay. But he's out late as hell, I visited a while back and he was out at 7am and got back at almost midnight. Sorry, but if I'm going to do hours like that, it's going to be for either the community (hence the poli. sci. major) or for my family.

Well written man, well written, also, any Chinese art favorites? I took a couple of semesters studying Asian art.

I guess this isnt a good time to ask why I cant view the photos in this topic, no interfering with this emotional time :). Just kidding but yeah..

It could be your browser settings...?

My latest piccy off my phone

You look exactly like my friend's brother's girlfriend.

And that was well written, ssssnake. Quite an interesting way to look at life. I think my friend's dad did the exact opposite. He has a job with a pretty big firm and makes a good deal of money. However, it's rare that he's home. So what does he do? He showers my friend with money and a relaxed attitude towards bad behavior (i.e. drinking, speeding, smoking). Quite an interesting person.

Thank god I never had to deal with that really. My dad works a regular 9-5 desk job. Takes the train in the morning, and comes home at around 6:30. It's been that way for like, all my life, so I have no problem with it. He's around plenty.

I see my dad about once every few months because of his job.
