What's the next car after your Z
Richie is back! Working full time and finishing college in 2 years. 
Tell everyone the truth. You're "giving" your car to your dad because he was paying for it in the first place. You're not fooling anyone.

Listen kid, get real. I'm 23 and make decent money. I drive an '03 Excursion Diesel with 133k miles on it...it's paid for and I'm keeping it, and I have the '03 Track Edition I just picked up for about $14k. I can afford the payments because I decided to hunt for a nice used (8 years used, mind you) 350Z. I budgeted myself and after alotting money for play, gas, diesel, and insurance...I'm STILL +$800/month. My guess is that daddy wants his Z back. Do yourself a favor and grab a pickup truck or a used civic or rsx thats great on mileage and can still be fun to work on...and even quick if you do it right over time. Too many people these days make dumb decisions...i.e. basing purchases off of "overtime." <--You are a dumbass if you do that. Any SECOND, you could lose your job, or have your hours dramatically cut. I'm not even going to go into the "math" portion of your numbers, because you just got owned on the last page with that.
So quite honestly, STFU and GTFO.

They were born out of wealthier vaginas?
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.
