Hopefully you are being sarcastic...

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.

Why one car worth $150k? With age and wisdom, you'll find that having a few cars with an aggregate value of $150k is far more enjoyable.

And I hope that's not your only goal

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 am the same way. I was born very blessed to have a dad who is crazy with finances and investments. I was the 7 year old kid mowing the whole block's lawns for money and my dad reitterated the importance of saving and investing with me at this young age by matching every dollar I saved at this tender years (you realize how hard it is to turn down Skittles at a local gas station at age 7?!?!?!?!)

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)
