Living with your parents is not cool. "hey baby want to come back to my place?" "Ok" "Yeah just be quiet because my mom is sleeping." Gay.

oh hes 17? Well there is a grace period of living with your parents. After you graduate highschool, and you still live at home and arent going to college, not cool. If your in college and only come home sometimes, thats ok. I joined the Marines at 18 so I was gone like 6 weeks after I graduated.

Im sorry but from his statement that making $9 an hour working at Food Lion and his plans to save for a year just doesnt sound like too forward type of thinking. Im sorry but Id rather drive a less expensive car for a few years and get on my feet and live on my own then stay with my PARENT. Yes I didnt even have two but I couldnt wait to get out on my own. Hell get a roommate or two in a nice house. Its still better then living at your parents.
Go in the Forced Induction section and ask how old those guys and how much it truely costs to run a FI car as a DD. Im sorry but an 18 or 19 y/o that lives at home and makes around 20k a year working FULL TIME just shouldnt be doing it. More power to the guy if he does it.
I wont go into it but the thinking that its cool to live with your parents until you are 21-22 is something wrong with the younger generations. Yes Im only 24 but damn its wrong to live with them when you are an adult unless you are going to school full time or you literally HAVE to.

well thats the main factor then. Join the military they take you from your home, you don't have to worrie about paying rent, feeding yourself, go to work/school. If you can stay at home for a wile and save money up for later, than thats just using your brain. IDK why you would be in such a hurry to throw that all away.

That is why I drive a 93 z28, I am a sophmore in college, have great jobs during the breaks, but really can't afford to do crazy things with it...when I get out of college and a get a nice job, hell yeah I want to get a 02 ws6, 6 speed t-tops. If you are going from a 4 cylinder to a v8, it is a hell of a difference...I used to own a pos integra. Driving a stock camaro or firebird around is not bad, and it most likely will not break as often. If I were you, I would buy a nice camaro or firebird..one that has lower mileage because usually they are nicer, if you look for one, they are out there. Then throw a cam, if it is a m6, a rearend, and maybe a nicer clutch and some boltons and have fun with it.

Can I say something?
These cars are toys for the most part. I was in your position, got my bird during my sophmore year of college. I've had it for a while now, and I will be graduating from law school in december. This has NOT been a good car for me as far as being a BROKE *** college kid. Power steering pumps and other repairs, high insurence rates, gas mileage ext. ext.
And then, when i finally make some money (over the summer got a nice internship at a firm back in Texas), I BLOW IT all on my car. And I ain't a stupid guy, but these cars are addictive and fun. My suggestion would be for you to get a car that is more suitable for your needs, and go to college. There are plenty of years up ahead to buy toys like this.
SAYS THE POT TO THE KETTLE! LOL!

The thing is he wont be staying at home saving up for later. He will be staying at home blowing money on a car. Stand by to be the 30 yr old guy at the high school party with a blown 427.....
