Chi - to the best of my knowledge the ford factory leather is only leather on the front panels, the sides and back sections are simulated/vinyl. Saleen leathers is leather all around.

Thank you Smoothy. You seem to be the only welcoming person here for me. I dont own an NSX. I think you looked at it wrong. It is an RSX. But I am fine if people dont believe anything I say. I will just have to come back in a week or two when i actually have the car to show you. The reason I show in my sig a GT coming is because that is a for SURE if i cant get a Saleen due to the interior.

WTH are all of you getting all fussy that im getting a Saleen? Oh is it because Im only 18 and i can afford a Saleen? Thats my business if i can or not. I am OK if you dont think i can afford it.

To be honest, I'm not a dedicated Saleen enthusiust. I like the car so hopefully I will get it. Plain and simple.

I have no one to impress here. I could careless what you think of me. I dont know any of you and i will probably never meet anyone here in person. SO I DONT CARE TO IMPRESS ANYONE.

I don't know if you realize it but you guys sound like your hating on an 18 year old getting the same car you worked so hard to get. Correct me if im wrong. But dont think i didint work hard for this. (thats if you believe i have my own company or not)

I originally was going to keep my mouth shut on this thread but Ive had enough. Chi, I am the only other 18 year old Saleen owner on this forum (as far as I know). When I first joined, I didnt come out saying, hey Im only 18 and I am doing this and I own that and blah blah blah blah blah. If you havent noticed yet, all these awesome people on this forum dont want to hear that, or let alone speak of it. They like to talk mustangs, because that is what we do here (other than Jazzers smokin hott photo shoots

). They have all been very nice and welcoming to me and I thank them for that, but you have to realize that the way they treat you in here, is a result of your actions. Keep that in mind sir, and look forward to getting to know you.

Oh, and sometimes they do get on me, dont get defensive, just learn to deal with it. Read this forum... navigator

Hey 06Saleen3v thanks for sharing your story with me. I honestly didint want to come out with everything but i guess the way i phrased it made it seem that my parents where paying for it and everyone got kinda irritated at that. So i just had to come out so people could understand me more and the reason i have to get the light interior like my parenst want me (still listen to my folks cuz mt age) (Never meant to brag or anything

)

No worries Chi, just wanted to tell you that there are some really great folks in here and didnt want you to be intimidated by some of their reactions towards you. I have said my fair share of stupid things (more so when I first joined the forums) but I feel I've definitely matured over the last 3 and a half months and I think it is partially due to the people on these forums. Keep us posted sir!

That is some funny stuff...

ChiDiddy - get over it... so you have rich mommy and daddy. Some of us have worked hard to get our cars and that is why we will enjoy it even more. I personally believe that until you earn your own money to spend on a car, you will not truly appreciate it. That is just my 2 cents. Best of luck to you on your purchase.

This reminds me of when I went to USC for my post grad degree. There were tons of students there where their parents were paying for their entire dental school education ($200k+). So the students would get all the student loans that they could get and buy themselves either a Porsche or Ferrari.

Wow 3 pages of this.. reminds me of an off topic section..
I won't add fuel to the fire. Good luck with whatever you get regardless of who writes the check every month, and I concur with what others have said, this is a great forum for advice and feedback and just general conversation on these very special and unique cars.

Remember the old mantra...
"POWER IN THE HANDS OF A FEW"

My parents paid for my first and second cars (66 Mustang vert, then 65 Mustang vert) and I couldn't agree more with abbas and others who believe in working hard to earn something. Neither of my first two cars was fancy or expensive -- I believe the first cost $1100 and the second cost $1600. And NO, I didn't get a second one because I totalled the first! We just learned too late that the first was loaded with bondo and my dad wanted an "investment" (ha ha that's funny).

Anyway, I loved those cars but they didn't get the care they deserved and in many ways I took them for granted. I wasn't a spoiled kid by any stretch but nothing can replace the commitment you feel to something when you've worked hard to get it. My third car, a Nissan Sentra (brand new and I paid for it) was immaculate at all times. I wish I had given the verts that kind of care....

After my experience I decided that if I ever had kids, they would pay for their cars and help pay for their educations. However, then I forgot to have kids....
