I used to sell cocaine

well...I saved up a lot of money from working while in high school and helping out wherever I could. My parents picked up the rest as a "reward" for being a good student and never giving them a hard time. I didn't need the reward for doing that because I'm just that type of person...I'm more than thankful they did though

I'd agree that it must be great for the majority to be cruisin in the L's at an early age. I'm 45 and my wife is still wondering when I'll outgrow the need for speed. I'm definitely enjoying my white 03 L and 69 RS/SS!!!:burnout:

I have had mine for a year and I just turned 18... My first car was my baby, 5.0 mustang 89 GT and it got stolen infront of my house! :cryying: But not a bad replacement!

You ask how I afford it at 23? Workin 70-80 hrs a week for three years. Restaurant business is a great business and great money, but the rumor about crazy stupid hours is true.

Oh well, the ride home makes it all worth it.

 

[kolar1]

50 when I got mine.

I had been working part time since I was 15. Finished school when I was 16 and started working full time with my dad.
I make good money doing what I do(design houses on Autocad). So I saved up for a year, and then went to the dealer and there was one sitting right there, and I bought it three days later.
