insanity started today!
Im sorry im at 21 years old i wouldnt consider myself much of a kid and im sorry my grandfather happens to be very wealthy and gave me a bunch of money for school and well this is "school" related. Its like well i had a trust fund with lots and lots of money for school i went to a tech school and only need 30k not 250k why not use to it build a nice little race car. i meen if you were in my shoes im sure you would do the same.
I'm sure your grandfather would have wanted you blowing nearly $20grand on a $30K car, haha.
I was in the same position as you when I turned 21, got a bunch of dough to use for school (not $250K though unfortunately), only needed like $50K of it to finish my last two years, and I'm keeping the rest for a downpayment on my first house. I used $1500 to supplement the down payment on my EVO IX along with my trade in, and that's about it.
But like the old saying goes "A fool and his money are soon parted"
Good luck with your build
