Lightbulb On the grind to get a Evo, Goal within reach!

So, as with all motor head teenagers, aside from muscle cars everyone I've ever knew wanted a STI or EVO. I like evo's for the fact that... well they move out.

So I started off at 16 ofcourse with the $300 ****box (ford escort), like most middle class kids. Buy, and sell buy and sell. Being 18 years old now; I now own a 2004 Subaru Impreza RS2.5 with STI goodies(Not fast, but tremendously fun to drive, cannot wait for winter!),a 95 GSX and just recently I took a loan out on a 2006 Mazdaspeed 6.

Finally, with the addition of this Mazda I should finally have about $16,000 to play with once I'm done fixing it.(Ugh, terrible ricer body kit and ****ty bondo on an otherwise beautiful stock car. Got the car CHEAP.)

So finally my goal is within reach, like I said I'm hoping to have $16,000 to play with in pure hard cash once I sell all my current cars and pay off my loan. Hopefully I can net myself either a well maintained EVO8 RS, or GSR. Not too interested in the MR because I want to beat this car and enjoy every minute(Heard the six speeds are not as durable) of it.

Nice place ya got here, Hope to see you out there.

Welcome. I got my last evo 8 for around 14k, so you should have no problem getting one for around that.

can't drive an evo with all your grammatical errors. You should put that money into school cause paying for the car isn't going to be enough with maintenance especially if your going to beat the car. why would you do that to an evo?

It sould like you have done well buying and selling cars. Good for you. I know a bunch of teenagers, 20 's somthings, who end up spending all their money.

One who buy dump a boat load of cash and are broke modifiying an economy car and end up with nothing left to show it

or Two somneone who keeps trading up in a new/newish car and spend all thier money doing so. The have no equity into any car, no savings, and have a huge loan.
