yah but ya know 05's go for a little bit more than 01's do... lol

 

lol... well yeah, hell, i was making over 50k when i was 23, so i know it can be done, what just suprised me is a bunch of 20-21's in some sort of a class be it vocational or college, i dont know many people who go to school who can afford an 05gt, evo, or 350z. After taxes and dealer fees and stuff that is roughly a 30k car.

now, this is a lot of assumptions, but i dont know anyone who makes a lot of money and goes to school unless they have already established themselves and are simply furthering a career, but by the age of 21 there has not been much time to establish that level of financial stability or earning power where it is feasable to afford a 30k car, education, rent, bills, etc etc all at the same time unless the vehicle is a lease, in which it is stupid to do any modifications to it cause it is basically a rental.

so while it can be done, i would say 90% of the time it turns out the car was a gift from mommy and daddy.

Thats one of the reasons i dont care too much about other people having faster cars than me, especially those 18-22 yr old trash talking import lovers. Cause while thier car might be a bit faster than mine, i know that i earned and appreciate every single penny that -I- paid for my car, and chances are mommy and daddy bought thiers and they probably dont appreciate it for ****.

so im not trying to rag on all 20-22 year olds, but most people that age are still figuring out what they want to do and dont have the earning power on thier own to afford such a car.

i guess a lot of it depends on the deal they got

hell, most of my co workers i figure make over 50k a year, and most still arent comfortable buying a 30k car.
