Being a parent is a cool thing, super parents there , I bet they felt a lot better then you did!!
I built a house in 2018, and my daughter and son in-law needed to relocate to a school district with provisions for special needs so we set them up as best as we could in our existing house on three acres of woods and a stream built by my myself with friends and family in 1985. They are thrilled and my six year old grandson Eli, talks of buying it from mom and dad when he is older....yup being a parent is pretty cool!.....Jack

Hey Jack, that is a great story! When I was younger I used to say that my parents weren't allowed to sell their house until I was able to buy it! I am excited to be a parent (though not quite yet)

Haha, grats. Careful man, if I had this thing I'd have wrecked it and hurt people at your age! Anyone here over 30 probably has friends who died cause of stupid motor stuff. I look at 17-26 as me being lucky rather than good.

Fuck. I really am a dad.

Have fun with this amazing piece of toy.

I will be sure to be careful for sure, thank you for the advice!

Did not mean for that to turn into a speech. I guess you experience things and you only see things through that lens from now on. Sorry bout that!

I will not lie, sorta hate you but that is just my jealousy of not having parents of means being able to give me things like this.

Congrats though and welcome to the club.

I wasn't upset, it is always good advice to be careful whether it was intentional or not!

Thank you for the congrats :)

Well, they knew it was going to be my car for a while (and so did I) so we wanted to make sure I had all the creature comforts of a modern car that will become standard in the next 5-10 years that way I am not behind when the tech is more standardized!
