You are not trollface. Trust me.
I first joined revscene back in high school with this epic ride (parents couldnt afford a corolla CE, too pricey). Notice the wind up windows, and the blood stain on the front seat (you made me bleed my own blood!). This was my family's only car and i thought it was the coolest thing. I got my DL when i was 16 and promptly tried racing with this sentra (epic fail). Plus the color!!! look at the friggin color man.
You'll make it. Just have faith, look for opportunities and don't hesitate when they present themselves. If my dumb ass with a history/philosophy degree can make it, anyone can. Plus judging from most of the rides on here, I must say the majority of the dudes have done VERY VERY well for themselves in one of the most expensive places to live in the world.
