I lost 400lbs so I am building my dream car!

Bearded-Driver · 11-09-2023, 05:04 PM

Hello everyone,

I would like to share with you all my upcoming future build and a little about my self.

In a pervious life was over 600lbs. In fact I used to weight 613lbs. I am now down to 207lbs! This was in an effort to save and better my life. Now that I have hit my goal weight I would LOVE to first and for most learn to track a car. Being as heavy as I was one could only imagine that it would be very difficult to experience a lot of things
TONS of things have happened in the past life but now its time to thrive.

Taking the time to cross shop for my dream build i was stuck between a MKV Supra or a F87 M2. Then I saw the G87 M2 and INSTANTLY fell in love with it and placed my order around 12/2023. Fast forward to now the car is RFT and the parts i have been able to get deals on have arrived :-)

I hope people will want to follow my story and my build I will be trying to document everything on youtube, IG and all the other fun socials. Ill post more details about my socials in the next week or so.

Thanks for stopping by

Brand new or resale? If brand new, at MSRP? If new, MSRP and the exact spec you planned on ordering, go for it.

Congratulations dude. Takes a lot of courage, pain, discipline and drive to do what you did.
Love to see it

Congrats on the M2 and looking forward to following your journey!

Sadly if you come to grab the one in NJ you’ll never make it out, many of us have tried and are still here lol. No to be serious I would negotiate on that one here and see where it gets you.

I live in northern Virginia so noo its not that bad i have a second car for bad weather but we dont get much snow during winter unless its the once in a decade blizzard lol

I test drove a supra and the M2 and loved them both but the M2 is just a different beast

AudiDad · 11-12-2023, 06:53 PM

For me I am in South Jersey and it’s like a crap shoot weather wise. You almost need that awd/4wd backup as you never know what’s coming.
