Yea but lol that doesn't mean your getting anywhere near $50,000 for it when you sell... Yea that'd be sweet if they did take a dive because I could get one after Im done with the SLK or whatever I end up getting.

I remember this kid....
I didn't know the LA Fire Department was hiring......let alone paying that. Last time I checked, the AVERAGE (not starting) pay was $49,000 a year. In LA adjusted for cost of living....that's like making $36K here.
I don't know if your rich Daddy never taught you how to add, but 36K doesn't get you Z06 of jack squat.
Your daddy paid for your Z.
lol why are u driving just a z then????? u must be rollin in dough with that education. yea i must admit those degrees will beat me, Bachelor of Science Degree in Fire Protection Administration and Technology, and my masters im not sure yet. Maybe public adminitration or somethin like that. I want to be chief of some greater los angeles area fire deparment one day but idk what degree yet. Of course ur further along, im only 19 right now, gimme some time jack im movin along everyday....
yea since the older members have the experience, im asking what direction to go next?? bbk and wheels im lookin to spend about $3500 i think. Not bad for at that time a 20 year old...

Yea I dont want a lotus, but a lot of people in this thread keep bring them up.

LOLOLOL ok I want to help our little friend with a concept I'll call "math."
So let's say.....its true. Our little worker bee graduated with his BS (working before) in under two years. That's 120hours of college credits mind you. So basically....That's 60 credits a year or 30 a semester......while working this supposed job.
Now.....our little worker bee from car poor before. We'll assume he has like $10K (I know, I know....I'm a generous guy) to put down on his new SLK or Z06. I mean at 21.....we all knows he's earned it right!??!?
Now let's assume while going to school 30 hrs a semester (mind you 12 is full time and over 18 requires special permission from the school) and working (see 30hrs a semester) you put in....OVERTIME.
Ok Mr. Firefighter...the AVERAGE was $49,000/yr BUT the STARTING is more like $35K. I mean if you believe things like "facts." Seeing as you did go to school almost triple full time and worked.....I will assume you worked 60hours a week. Yes, I will go out on a ledge and say that in a time where government overtime is at a minimum and your bankrupt state is paying time and a half for an extra 20hrs. So with your OT, we'll the doing that fancy wizardry I call "math" and figure out you're now taking in a cool $61K a year.
Oh my god.....did you hear? The government takes out........wait for it.....TAXES! In Cali (your tax be high) Federal (25%) plus state (8%...being nice) is around 33%. So.....your cool $61K just became $40K a year.
That's assuming you dont put ANYTHING towards your retirement, healthcare, dental, vision, disability, etc etc etc.
So now....youre looking at take home pay of $3333.00/mo. Well damn....rent in LA is kinda high, so I'll assume you live in the HOOD paying $1000/mo.
You're now looking at a cool $2300 left for both cars, insurance, gas, groceries, fun, untilities ect ect.
Being a man of obvious power.....nothing less than a SLK55 and SRT8 will do.
Now, seeing as you're not only a math genious a college kid working doing 30+ hours a semester.....I'll assume you're buying used. Let's say an 08 Charger for $30K, but you pay it down with all that $10K you saved
Payment is around $500/mo. Not bad for a DD! Oh.....ok insurance is $150 (young, male, Cali) I won't even assume you put gas in it.....just because that's the kinda guy I am.
Now.....for your pride and joy......a Z06. Let's go 2008 for $45K. OUCH! No cash left.....looking at a cool $1100/mo payment on that bad boy. Lucky you're a rich 21yr old college grad!
So....We're looking at around $1750 in car alone.
You're original $2300 is now $550.
So to live....every month.....you'll be able to spend around $140 a week on gas, groceries, fun, untilities ect ect.
THATS ASSUMING!
You saved $10k in cash, you graduated college in less than 2 years all the while working, that you work 60hrs a week during a recession where California is issuing IOUs, that you don't pay anything for medical, that you only pay $1k/mo in rent, that you're looking at used. That you really think insurance on a Z06 and SRT8 will be $150/mo for a 21yr old male driver.
