Did I say that? No. I basically said that a cool car at a young age is a +1. You take 2 guys, both identical twins, both act the same, one drives a beat up pinto and the other drives a camaro. Who gets the panties?
I didn't make the rules, so there is no sense popping off a comment like that at me.
Well good for you.

Ya its basically a tax free 5% pay increase im seriously considering doing a cam only car right now...i love the car and want to upgrade it but taking the 10-15k for FI could also make a good investment...im really trying to save up until im totally stable but its hard because i really want to spend money on the car, wheels, tires, cam, boltons...also probly get married within the year so i guess it really matters where priorities are...i think we all know how the op feels about really wanting the car...so many things to buy but not enough money 
an 80% match is crazy up to how much total? Mine is max of 5% of salary but i think it goes up to 8% after 5 yrs
im guessing your talking about an 80% match up to a certain amount?

sounds like your parents are making excuses to not have you get a car that is probably way too fast for a driver with little to no experience. Luckily I had 4bangers when I was young, or someone would have gotten killed. If I had kids they would not have an LS1 car while living under my roof. Once they could float their own way then the responsibility would be up to them. Sorry, just my opinion. BTW I went through the same thing with my mom and a bike when I was 16, so I hear you, but now that I'm older I completely understand the parents perspective.

But it's "too old" and theirs no talking my mom out of it. And I'm not getting another 4 banger, I always almost die in intersections because they don't get up fast enough. I'm used to V8's and if I'm forced to get a newer one, GTO seems like a damn likely candidate. No way in f*ck am I getting a V8 Mustang (unless it was a 68 or a Rouch 427, neither of which are all too likely).

lol. Well I haven't read all the posts but if he's taking in a 4-banger to the shop to get fixed, you have NO business owning an LS1 yet. Get yourself a Mustang or a Grand Prix and enjoy the sunroof/ convertible. Camaro= money pit and techincal "know-how" needs to be technical EXPERTISE! Just my .02

I know for me, my beater is a 4banger and I'm FAR less likely to be killed in it than in my Z, and ten times more likely if you cut my age in half which sounds about where you are if that.

meh, not by much, in my younger days I got plenty of chances for punani and most often I drove beat up subarus, some wagons even. Girls don't really care much about cars, sometimes it's even a negative, like if you bring up that you have a camaro (or vette, or 'stang or whatever) before she finds out for herself, then you lose points for trying too hard.

That has to be by far the stupidest ******* thing I've read in this thread. If you need fancy **** for people to talk to you, you are a sad, sad human being. Anybody that hangs out with me for what I own I don't need around. It took me a year and a half to save up up the cash for my car, I'm glad I did it, as one of my older colleagues at the fire dept. told me, you should always pay cash for toys.
