whoever said they paid cash for the car @ 17 is full of it. No way you did that without the help of someone or winning the lottery.

They worked for it man..... pretty easy to save when you have no bills.

Although some of these guys do save up for a few years and can amass a good amount of cash. However that tends to be the exception and instead they have no bills or living expenses and a car paid off already so little operating costs to get to/from work. It's cake to save even on minimum wage in those conditions.

I had an intern working for me last summer that was so utterly pampered it made me sick. Crying about which college to go to without even a worry about paying for a dime of it. Dad has multiple corvettes in the garage and is buying him a new Focus ST with a deposit already on the car. Must be rough.

half these guys are lying and prolly had theyr parents pay half, or sold an old car that they got as a present lol, i saved up nearly every check i made for about a year and a half while going to school so not full time with no other expenses only to buy half of an evo, it took me another 2 years to restore and im good at not wasting money. most of people on here are full of it..

I was 29. Traded in the 2001 Prelude for one of the first Evo in town. Already had 1 kid and also was saving for a house so it took me 5 years to pay it off. No regret.
