Pics of my 09 R3
Hey everyone, Im pretty new to the site. I was lucky enough to be given a brand new 2009 Velocity Red R3 for my birthday last year. I absolutely LOVE my car, its literally my baby. I haven't really introduced myself yet either, my name is Jarred, and I LOVE my 8 
This is my 8 and my friends E39 M5
Ill try and get some better ones this weekend when I wash and wax it.
Nice to meet you all!

I was thinking about it but I've never been to one and dont know how they work. Plus my car is stock, nothing to show off. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Absolutely not. It’s from stock to modded out. Everyone comes with a clean car and that’s it! No worries. Just a place to get together and meet each other, hang out, and enjoy. Its’ not a car show. Last one I went to, got to meet a few of the members, eat and drink and just shoot the ****, admire everyone’s ride and hang out. Nothing to show off or have done. The more the merrier. Come on out, you’ll have a nice time.

Thanks everyone Can anyone give me some ideas for some non performance mods that dont cost all that much and dont void the warranty? Remember, I'm only a teenager so I don't have a job yet, though I have applied to a few places.

Try and take a performance driving school lesson. Go to an HPDE event and ride along with an instructor. This will help you know the limits of the car. Far too often we hear stories of teens getting in accidents because they didnt know the limits of their car.
Trust me man, it's worth it. That's the best mod.

Ross I REALLY want to and I think thats what I'm going to save up for. I attended an event called drivers edge which was completely AWESOME. I learned so much that day, except I didnt get to do it in my car. But yeah, that course consisted of recovering from a slide/hydroplane, evasive lane changing and defensive driving, and learning how to fully activate the ABS. Plus my parents are smart enough to know to not let me mod my already powerful car. Thats why I want to make it look even more badass than it does. I replaced all my interior lights with red LED's but thats it so far.
Yeah life treats you well when you work hard. I'm ranked 8th in my class of 570 students at my high school. My parents want whats best for me and it pushes me to work hard. My car was actually a COMPLETE surprise for my 16th birthday (Yes im 16).

Wow. I would never let a child of mine have this car at age 16. The odds are stacked against you my friend...respect it, maintain it, and good luck.

I wouldn't either. But I'm not stupid and neither are my parents. They put a zoombak in it and set up alerts to let them know if i pass a certain speed. They also know where I am at all times through its GPS functionality.
I love my car, I'm not willing to risk it by pulling off some stupid stunt. Plus, my step dad is a cop, so my knowledge of the law is pretty extensive.

Actually the only car that's ours is mine and the Lexus. The taupe is my stepdads work car. I'm not going to lie we live comfortably but are far from rich.
