I took my kid out of daycare so I could afford the car....

 

I don't have a Z (yet) but a lot of people my age at my school had them. if it wasn't that, it was a 3-series, EVO or STi. I had a 94 mazda MPV I mobbed like a gangsta though.

 

none, I paid cash.

 

like a few others i sacraficed spending 80 bucks a night at the bar. now i limit myself to 40 and usually only go out on fri and sat. i graduated college and live at home...im almost 23 and am saving up to move out. im now a cheap bastard paying for the Z, insurance, phone and saving. I have 7500 in the bank right now and should have about 15K by the end of the year if nothing goes wrong and then will b able to move out. my sis lived home till she was 25 tho so i could live at home that long and try and save close to 50K before i move lol imagine that house warming party. itd be insane

 

My Sacrifice Was My Clean Driving Record!

 

1) sold my '99 prelude
2) cancelled my credit card
3) sold my laptop
4) sold 3 SCSI Hard Disk
5) used money from my studying loan funds
6) applied for an extra loan which reaches more than 65% of my salary
7) borrowed money from my wife
8) starting a part-time job to cover the installment of my loan

aaah well....... i'd give up more if i could..

 

I just bought a house, and now I am driving a old POS and saving cash. Should have 20k spendable in the bank by January, then going car hunting. I just can't make myself pay interest on a depreciable asset.

 

 

I want it all.

 

Seconded!

 

ditto that

 

I could have probably made some great scientific discovery if I didn't spend so much time on this forum and thinking about cars in general.

 

i go out drinking ONCE a week now... if that.

i buy my cigs and energy drinks in bulk now to save a few bux.

i eat one meal a day

i still live at home (thats gonna change in the new year)

i stopped smokin the ganja

i work 40+ hours of retail a week

although i think id be happy with any car thats in the 20k price range. driving the Z gets me up in the morning tho.

 

I had to start parking my Eagle Talon on the left side of the garage instead of in the middle...

 

That's a nice thing to do.

 

Econ 101... Opportunity cost, my man. What else could you have spent all that cash on if not the Z?

 

I had to make sure to find an apartment that had gated/secured/underground parking for my Z, which really limits the places you can find (and increases the rent) when you also have to find a place that accepts big dogs. But... No more parking on the street and walking out to my car in the morning to find the window smashed.

 

1. Sold my 97 Prelude
2. Got a part time job
3. Got a credit card
4. Sold my 2 Ipods
5. Sold my DS, PSP, Some games and gadgets
6. Sold my computer (still have a laptop)

Im 19 and its even harder now since i have to quite my job cause i started school. So basically Im broke but i still have my Z and im trying to do everything to keep it. Sux cause i cant find a job rite now.....

 

None that I can think of.. Cept mabey the time spent cleaning the SB color

 

I sacrifice $372.99 every month
