I dont mean to offend you by asking this, but how did you manage to afford a 80k car at 23?

No offense taken, you should hear the things people say/ask at red lights and gas pumps. I consider myself one of the lucky few who landed a good job after college. I build helicopters for different military's around the world. Right now I am building one for the Canadian military that is the first ever fly by wire helicopter(All flight controls are controlled electronically). We just now starting on the actual production birds. My first purchase after the job was a home, and since I'm young and single I had a couple good friends move in who I charge a set amount for rent. This allows me to save a pretty descent amount each month. So bewteen having a good career, saving, and roommates helping out on the bills, I am able to afford some nice things. I ended up buying a used GT-R though cause even with the job and bill help I would struggle to pay for a 85k GT-R.

ahh got it, im pretty much in the same boat (without a high paying job lol). i make a decent living and was able to afford a down payment on a house last year. I rented 2 rooms out to friends and that took a lot of weight off my shoulders. Although I do kind of regret buying a house so soon, i've got this really confined feeling. I can never lose my job or quit now cause i'll end up losing my house. I shouldve followed my childhood dreams of becoming a fulltime bum and squatter =/.

Thanks, it's definitely amazing! I get to be part of some really cool/interesting things. I actually only have an associates degree in applied science but seeing as my company offers full funding for school, and stock in the company once you graduate, I will be going back. I am very fortunate to have my job and will always do everything in my power to keep it.

29... almost 30. Electrician for a water district in North Idaho. Saved up for a year to put 10k down and keep my payments at 400 a month. Not trading in my old car as I still need something to drive when the snow flys :tup:

Bought @ 19
Insurance through allstate is $245/month for my 3KGT and 370.

I bought my 370 earlier this year in May. I was 19 then and am now 20. Might as well explain how I bought it. I was home schooled and have been
Working part time since 15 and full time since 16 until now. I haven't had more than 5 days off work since 15. At one point right around 18 I had 3 jobs: server at an assisted living community @ $9/hr 40hrs/wk, Photographer shooting school ID's and yearbook photos @ $15/hr 15ish hrs/wk, and Valet on the weekends making $12 minimum for about 16hrs/wk. Currently working just Valet making 40k+ 40-48hrs/wk. I walk to work which is also a HUGE help. Living with my girlfriend splitting bills. As for parents help my mom paid half of my first car, my 3KGT, and I haven't seen my dad since I was 8 years old. Saved up these past 4 years and payed cash for the Z @ 32.5k OTD
