Yeah I know.. When I sold my eclipse I put half down on the z and the other half into mods which I have sold most of now btw. Buying that GT Haus exhaust was a freakin stupid idea. I ended up selling it and losing a lot of money, I could have put that money down.

Yet you're still waiting for new wheels? I know when I was 19 I wasn't very good with money but Christ I only spent what I had. You are driving yourself into a situation you are going to have a hard time getting out of. Maybe if your parents didn't spoil you so much you'd have a better sense of financial responsibility.

I do only spend what I have. I paid for the wheels 5 months ago with money I got from selling my other car. Which was a dumb idea btw.

Let me explain a little something to you. It's called "opportunity cost". You know what that means? To simplify it, if you have 5 dollars, and spent it on milk, then that means you are not able to spend it on cookies.

You "paying" for your car was only made possible because you "lived at home and have no other bills". In the real world, that just doesn't happen. I think you're getting a taste of it now, yet you still choose to waste money by purchasing mods that don't add value, then trading or selling the car at a loss, etc etc....you spend your money foolishly (and still try to brag about it.... lol... that's the funniest part).

Other kids like you at their age were not too fortunate. And seeing you waste your money, errr sorry, your parent's money on frivolous things like cars and car parts and mods is down right stupid. I won't stand here and tell you my life story, but I don't think you should either. You come across as brash, arrogant, and to be honest, a little uneducated. And you're getting these responses from fellow owners here because of how your posts illustrate who you are.

Still don't learn do you?

This is worthless. I don't think any amount of common sense can be knocked into you. Good luck in your chosen lifestyle.

This topic actually reminds me of a hat given to me by one of buddies, who happens to be a Marine, and proudly serving our country. It proudly states one of the Marine's motto's: "Earned, never given."

I don't mean to come off as arrogant..and well I wasn't purposely trying to start anything or brag. I was being a little bit sarcastic but that doesn't show very well through typing. I like being part of this forum and is probably the only reason I bought my z and started modding it. I learned my lesson and that's why I'm parting out my car and putting that money down to try to get it payed off faster. Recently I've sold my HFC, GTHaus Exhaust, gt haus midpipe, y-pipe, spacers, SRI, wheels... I'm really trying to even everything out and not lose any money when I sell my Z. Yeah I made mistakes.. you don't have to be so harsh. I'm working on it.

I think you made a mistake in your first reply here, but are now manning up to the criticism in a more mature way. Kudos.

I agree with FL_4Motion there...if you can't afford to take your girl out and the car is 60% of your income, you really have a problem... I wouldn't even do payments that's over 10% of my monthly income.

Good luck. Hope you can turn your financial life straight. We all make mistakes. It's being able to humble down while you're young, that you can drive cars you want to at a later age.

You can either drive a $30k car now, or a $300k car later. Pick one.

Just wondering, but...what exactly do you do for a living?
