really not that complicated when you live at home. I did the same thing when i was 18. Blew money on my BMW in 98-99 when the markets were HOT. I regret it to this day that tied up my money on the stupid car instead of making money with my money. I also regret not moving out earlier. I could have had at least 3 more STD's by now!!!!

now don't go question someone else because there funding is different from yours. theres people here that actually work hard for what they got. who are you to question how someone funded there stuff or in fact how much they paid.? yo even if it was mommy and daddy supplied what would it matter to you?

**It doesn't matter how old someone is, it doesn't matter where the money is coming from**
1. This is Evolutionm.net
2. Not how old are you.net
3. not where is your money coming from.net

this is about people helping each other out, showing and sharing there ideas. its a community at whole and you and others are so star struck on age's and job titles come one seriously.

You guys can say whatever you want, but I'm not convinced that an 18 year old without a college education can pay for all that on his own. Sorry but the example of making 12/hr an hour and living at home doesn't correlate to the thousands this guy is dropping. After taxes, car payment, insurance, gas and oil changes, he would be lucky to have 200 bucks left. Having a 1500 dollar DVD player in your car and 10k worth of mods on your 36k car, while taking 2 weeks off work and spending 1500-2000 dollars on hotels? It DOESN'T add up. Of course, every teenie bopper is going to vehemently deny parental help...they all do. I've seen it countless times. No convincing is gonna help.

And "star-struck" is FAR from my perspective on the situation. I could do the same thing as this kid next week, pay for it all in cash and drive back, but this kind of disregard for money only happens when it's not yours. Like the other guy said, having an Evo and a few mods at 18, OK, I can probably see that. But these expenditures CANNOT be sustained by an 18 year old without help from rich parents.

As far as him being an Evo enthusiast, cool. But what is the purpose of this thread? Is he hoping other Evo owners will sympathize with him for his (monetary) misfortune? Why sympathize if Mommy is footing the bill?

Sorry you're having bad luck buddy, just ask for a nice Christmas present from the folks, or a raise in your allowance.
