1986 Ford f-250-taught myself how to do body work with this thing... and paint.. it was a pile of shiat
1996 Ford Contour-bought it after a summer of busting my *** off with a steel erection company, still have it, made an SVT clone out of it, sittin behind the garage..
1986 Mazda rx-7.. fun car while i worked on the contour
1985 chevy s-10 blazer- did a v-8 swap.. had too much fun with it
1991 chevy s-10 blazer- greatest beater ever, ran till 215,747 miles, survived 3 deer, 4 trees, and ALOT of mud
1989 honda accord coupe- blown up, burnt and in the woods somewhere... where all hondas belong
1998 VW GTI VR6- sponsored show car/garage queen. my buddy now owns it.. beats the living **** out it.
1991 Ford Explorer- disappeared one day, not sure where its at... this was like a year ago. i didnt care.. it was a POS anyway..
1995 Jeep Cherokee- daily driver.
2005 350Z enthusiast- slowly becoming a garage queen..
2004 GSX-R 750- mods: YOSH RS-3 exhaust, bald rear tire, and custom road rash.. my theory for bikes is if its not scratched, dented, or smashed, youre not ridin hard enough.
Im 20 years old.. 21 in sept. ive paid for every vehicle on that list myself. my parents told me when i first started modding cars that im an idiot and everytime i stop by to visit, they ask me why i spend so much money on my cars... theyre not car people...

2002 1. '02 Ford F-250, Crew Cab, Fully Loaded, Powerstroke Diesel. $43k
2005 2. '02 BMW M Coupe. $35,4
I got my truck when I was 16. Now, before ANYONE jumps on me thinking my parents spoiled me, let me explain. I finished highschool early, and my dad is a restraunt owner. I was lucky, and he let me wait tables at 16 (18yrs+ is the norm for a server). I was making about $400 a week, and learning the business.
Now, a 16 year old obviously can't finance a $40k truck, so we worked out a deal. It would be my daily driver (this is when I loved trucks) and it would be our vacation truck (it pulls a boat very, very well). We also used it for the business, so he agreed to pay for 25% of the truck ($13k) and I would pay for the rest. He financed it, 3 years, no money down... I simply payed my dad $600 bucks a month, so I never really owed the bank a dime. I am proud of the fact that between 16 and 20 I've been able to maintain a $600 a month truck payment, an insurance payment, and gas.
Now that I am 20, I am running the family business, and I am also expanding. We still use the truck for business/vacations, but I am over having it as a daily driver. The BMW is the first car I actualy have in my name, and its the first car I financed on my own. I figure I am doing alright for only being 20...
I know its pathetic when parents buy their kids a car. There is a HUGE value of learning how to be responsible, and I think my parents taught me very well. Just remember, for every 1,000 kids who you see driving nice cars, I am sure at least 1 of them somehow bought it on their own....
