Funny you mention that. I am at 116k and the rear window regulator won't stop itself. So that means the regulator pops out of alignment if you don't stop the window on time.

Yea it's a good car don't get me wrong. For a 18 year old it should be an amazing car but Like INSTOCK said, my school was full of rich kids. Their parent's would buy them whatever brand new car they wanted, it was insane, some kid in the high school now has a brand new m6 and a cayenne twin turbo. My parents could have bought me a car but chose not to, I work for everything I have and i'm glad they did. You learn to appreciate things a lot more. It's funny you can go to a high school and find a kid driving a 2k dollar pos and loving every minute of it because he worked for it. Then you can find some kid in a 30k dollar Audi a4 and be mad at his parents because they didn't buy him an s4

I agree. My parents did buy me the BMW. However, this car needed lots of work. All the work it needed I did myself. It needed the whole front suspension, brakes, fuel system, cooling system, misc trim pieces, a detail. It still needs work, but at least it drives well.

My first car was and is an 89' Accord. By no means is that car a spoiled kids car. I spent all of my money on that car.

Oh ****, I had an '88 Integra with 285K and two bullet holes in it when I blew the motor out....

When I get out of school, I'll be making like 60K straight out the gate, but my boss cleared like 200k last year, and the goverment only knows about 75K, so it's all gravy, baby.

Funeral directors are just that ballin'.

I'm currently a server in a high-class restaurant. I pull in anything from $150 to $300 a night, depending on business. However, I also live in Lancaster county, so that's a decent income considering the cost of living in farm country. I'm also a full-time student, majoring in Meteorology and minoring in Broadcasting -- so, duh, I want to be a broadcast meteorologist when I graduate.

what pays my bills:
phone bill i do chores and **** around the house
dont really have other bills
car parts are paid by me
same with gas. unless my dad drives the car then i tell him to fill it up even if when he got it it was at half tank. kinda like a courtesy thing for letting him use my car to drive 50 miles each way to/from work.

and i have the same kind of thing rush has. my grandfather left me and my brother money to cover our tuition for college but im not allowed to touch it until im 18 but my parents have to agree that i can get the money.

I am a bicycle mechanic and I'll just estimate that I make around $18,000 a year if I earned the same amount year round. It sucks, but I somewhat enjoy the job at times.
