Default Know your members thread

I've been crawling on this board without making posts for months now. And for the most part, you all seem to be in your late 20's and above. Of course, that comes in part with the high cost of the Z. I, at 21, have been fortunate enough to for the last year have a job that pays 36k. At age 18, with no credit, I got in on a new chevy cavalier, and am screwed on the interest at 13%, which gave me payments of $375. Now, with a take home pay of $600 a week, I've been saving up for a Z, and have 6k in the bank towards my down payment. I'm hoping to get in on a new one by the time i have 9-10k for a down payment on a new coupe with no extras, with much, much better credit than i had before. So I wanted to know some standard details about the rest of the people that post here, as most of you seem pretty interesting. So, if you'd like, go ahead and fill this out.

Name:

Age:

Model Z:

Color:

Modifications:

Fastest you've gone:

How much have you put in it?:

How much your payments over what term & what interest?:

How are you able to afford it? Do you have a family? No house payment?:

How long have you had your Z?:

How long are you planning to keep your Z?:

Do you have any other cars? What kind?:

What do you do for a living? And what does that pay?:

What type of gas do you fill your Z with?:


If you are uncomfortable with answering any of these questions do to privacy reasons, then of course, by all means don't answer. But to those that are fine with it, have at it.

There are thousands of members on this board. Like me, most of them will choose not to answer your questions about personal financial status or other non-Z related topics. As for the other questions, these types of 'roll call' threads serve no purpose other than to take up bandwidth. If you want to get to know your forum members, you should get to know the people in your regional forum first, then go from there. What were you hoping to accomplish here?

Anyway, welcome to the forum. Let us know what you end up with.
