Well, it looks like I'll be going from contract to full time employee in about a month. Still not sure what my pay will be as that is something that will be discussed tomorrow.

Now comes the part where I have to start thinking about my financial future

I'm too young for this grown up ish...

Anyway, there are two thing in my future that I'm sure of. A house with a two car garage, and a factory five cobra kit. Those are the two most important material objects in my mind and I will stop at nothing to have both.

Is there anything, within reason, that you WILL have? No if and or buts, your life would not be complete without?

I will have my cobra, come hell or high water... I will have it... and it WILL have a 427 crate motor... (unless I do something stupid like get married or have children

then I'll settle for a FI 302)

House with a garage big enough to work in and a turbo slant six A-body Mopar... and I'll be married too.

AUTORACENBBOY · 12-04-2007, 11:04 AM

i got the Z, i want the house, the garage, and the family...
To be a breadwinner and support a family is a reason to hold your head up high everyday

Corvette, house, wife. So far I have the girl, I know where I am getting the ring for her, I am hunting for a house. Now about that Vette lol.

TGilb2007 · 12-04-2007, 11:15 AM

Couple of material things I MUST have...

House w/ a garage that I can work on w/e cars I really feel like...

And my bar room

Scapegoat · 12-04-2007, 11:17 AM

Ideally I will be building a house with a garage that connects to the basement and allows nearly free movement between the two. The basement/garage would be a large finished space with the usual upgrades... tv, bar, pool table, built in stereo system, car lift, tools, etc

Z3R0 · 12-04-2007, 12:01 PM

I will have a Z...or some RWD 250+ flywheel HP import. I swear for god it'll happen.....

So stop playing with small turbo's you dingle.

I would like to own a shop with a built in AWD dyno. But I could settle for a two story garage with a lift in the bottom floor and upstairs have seperate extremely clean engine/trans building room and another room for fabrication.

I'd like to build an SFWD car, and one of these days I WILL build a 2000hp+ twin turbo LSX.

Certainly would like a family as well, get married and have a few kids.

Ender - what kind of Corvette? I just saw an 00 Z06 for 20K in NJ, lol.

I want to be able to Retire in the future

Kiel · 12-04-2007, 12:36 PM

I WILL have a house with a fully-equipped garage, with a lift in it. I don't care if its one of those small in-garage lifts, I just want a damn lift for my car.

I WILL have at least $50,000 in non-retirement fund investments. And I will use profits from this investment to pay for my Lotus Esprit

den9 · 12-04-2007, 06:07 PM

a center city condo, with rooftop access, and an audi S4

yeahhhhhhhh righttttttttttt

ITSTOCK · 12-04-2007, 06:26 PM

I WILL have my dream home in under 5 years, designed by me, built 90% by me (I'm one anal mother****er!!, and I started designing the home 2 years ago), and I WILL have a 997 turbo...unless a newer model comes out in 5-8 years. And the most important step that I have already taken, is that I WILL have a comfortable retirement. They are the 3 "material" things that I have wanted since I learned the value of a dollar (except the 997, I have wanted a 911 turbo since I was 8, so 14 years ago, and that 993 turned in to a 996, which is now a 997) .

Roadkilled75 · 12-04-2007, 08:40 PM

Some day I WILL home-build a lotus 7. Low budget build, well under 10 grand, 302 and a 5 speed.

Also hope to have the small horse farm my girlfriend wants, and a 2+car garage there. For the immediate future, I am determined to rent a place with a decent garage. Pretty sure I can afford it. Definitely affordable if I only pay the minimums on my student loans, but doing that greatly delays the farm idea...

MuddyREX · 12-04-2007, 08:44 PM

I WILL be able to put my kids through college, or buy a new Ferrari with cash if they get full scholarships.
