As much as I would love to finish my T/A and buy and finish a C5, I know in reality its either the T/A or C5 because I will want a nice DD 4x4 TB SS or something like that for the winter... With a kid on the way, that should be your first priority.. A kid is your legacy; cars are your love/(somtimes hate) relationships

22 here, bought my Z a week before my 20th bday. Spun a bearing on the motor a year later, then put in a stroker. A love/hate relationship is definitely the best way to describe everyones mindset who owns an LT1.

OWN3D BY MY PROF!

Frugal spending is the key to success. By the time I was 19 I had right around $16k in the bank of my own money. I currently work one full time (room service at a fancy resort), one part time job (kids Brazilian jiu jitsu instructor), and go to school part time. Between all of that and the cars all I do is sleep.
I'm 21 and currently own 5 4th gens. 4 Camaros and one super sexy 98 Formula. Two of the camaros should be going soon though.
I'm not married, but my second wife hasn't been born yet.
I'd rather have two specifc ones that work than the 5 I do.

Between all of that and the cars all I do is sleep.
Thereon at age 14 I got my first official job and worked as much as the government would let me and recently got into my table bussing jobs from ages 16-present (19) all making $16-$24/hr. Not bad for a young buck.
I am very frugal with my money, but it will pay off when I get out of college and am able to PAY for a house with cash and then finish my cars. I was lucky because at the end of this year my dad gave me $29,000 (awesome grades) towards a new car but instead of spending it now, I'm investing it and turning it into more and just driving my current DD until it dies.
I also struck gold with the ailing stock market. Bought 2000 shares of Principal stock when it was at one of its lows at $5.81/share and sold it at $14.53/share. (its somewhere around $20 now but I still made around $17,000 before tax)... Used some of the money made to pay for my new tranny on the T/A because the stock one went out and put the rest into a more conservative interest rate investment account (~4.25%).
The moral of my blabbing is that saving and investing is one of the best tools that we can use for common-day success and future success.

26 and I lost count of how many I have had. Its in my blood thats for sure.
My wife still puts up with me and my son loves cars too, I have the pics to prove it. Can't ask for to much more.
Wait I lied, no oil leaks of any kind for 1 yr that would be nice. (With the car running not parked that whole time)
