Of course the world doesnt work that way, that's not what I meant. I meant they gave you the money to buy the car. So theoretically they still bought it, you just picked it out
I didn't say they didn't pay for it -- I said they didn't own it. They don't.

So I assume they bought "your" car
If ownership was determined by the original owner of the money used to purchase something, then my dad's company would own everything we own, which in turn would be owned by the customers of his company, which would be owned by their employers, etc. That's just not how the world works, ownership is given to the person who is understood to be in possession of the car, not the person who funded the purchase. Not to mention, in this case since the car is legally registered under my name it's not even debatable that it could possibly be my parents' car.

You have said before how lucky you are to have rich parents who pay for your stuff. Or something along those lines
Indeed I did. How's that relevant?

yeah no school was just confirmed for me about 40 mins ago, luckily the fires aren't too close to me but some friends are close to them

The first fire that was in 4S ranch was ~5 miles from my house. It's 50% contained now, so I'm not worried at all, but there's still tons of smoke around me. I got some cool pictures of it before they closed the roads.

I don't have school tomorrow because the air quality was deemed unsafe to hold class. Sky's all ashy, too.

you're loving stupid
and sooner or later you're going to crash daddy's car if you keep driving like a loving idiot
It's not "daddy's car," it's my car. And good, if I crash it then I can use the insurance money to get the same thing in manual.

Someone is going to have a GT-R if he gets this job.
i think he wants a viper now.
Hehehe you guys know me so well. If I got this job, one of the first things I'd do after settling into my apartment, if I had the money of course, would be to lease a new Viper.



Thanks guys for all the support, even though it's still really competitive I'm still going to try my best to get the job. Working at google is a personal dream of mine, and to achieve that at 18 would be the sweetest thing ever.

I type f then press enter because I visit the forums so much autocomplete just types the rest :cookieMonster:
I type b then press enter and it autocompletes to http://blockland.us/smf because I visit the forums so much. :cookieMonster:

EDIT:
Not to mention the fact that it'll load slightly slower and may stop working at some point in the future.
Badspot explicitly listed the redirect, and my browser has blockland.us/smf cached as a redirect so it automatically loads forum.blockland.us.

jesus christ
I don't think I could handle myself in a situation like that. god

Honestly, the thought that ran through my head was "forget, I spun out. Try not to crash." Not spinning out was just a very lucky bonus.

Thread subject is true for everyone at all times
Sure, but would it really have been related to the thread content if I'd posted a topic titled, "Theoretically, anyone's life could change very majorly soon."

Holy stuff. Today I was driving down a road that had a large curve at a decent speed, and I saw an emergency vehicle near the end of it. I'd seen that same emergency vehicle there every day for the past week, and there's plenty of construction in the area, so I ignored it and continued cruising at about 85mph. I'd turned traction control off because I did a burnout before that, so that was still off. I approach the emergency vehicle and see the road is clear, so I put my foot back on the gas. Right about then is when I noticed a puddle of water across the lanes right next to it.

My car slid out about 25 degrees what seemed like instantly. I corrected, and still lacking traction on my back tires they slid out the other direction, more like 45 degrees this time. I was facing a metal guard on the side of the road, and I whipped the wheel around in a hail mary to recover without hitting that guard. Thankfully, I corrected exactly the right amount and my tires hooked back to the pavement with me facing straight ahead after doing a MONSTER fishtail on a 2 lane road.

Tons of people receive these, usually not for any particular reason.
From this point, the process of you even being considered could take up to 4 months if not longer.

Here are some articles you should read:

http://www.reddit.com/r/business/comments/e4crm/amid_the_hubbub_about_googles_generosity_toward/
Of course they send them out to many people. The thing is, if you're scouted you skip the application process which is a huge filter all together and go straight to interviews. This drastically improves your chances of even being considered.

Looks pretty fake. Why would they use the old Google logo?

I don't know, but it's real. I'm in the process of scheduling my first phone interview.
