Im 17 and honestly i have worked since like 12yrs (Doing anything i could do for money mowlawns to my grandparents) old knowing that i wanted to seperate myself from other kids in my area (Northern Jersey). I now work at golf coarses in the summer (Big Money there!) and work at a Ski Resort in the winter! I maintain my car by either DIY alot which i thank everyone here for all your input and knowledge!!! I also save money on big jobs like Timing Belts and such because my uncle is a Mech and doesnt charge me labor just parts ! Anything else i do i work hard for my money and I hate when someone calls me a rich boy or that my parents bought me my car cause its not true. I earned it myself!

 

tru that

 

Yeah many people have told me that I'm a rich boy or something since I drive Audi's. I've just worked in the mud plenty of times and done my share of crappy work to get all i got. Hard word pays off. I want to start my own company this year to buy a new diesel truck and sell my A6 for a 6MT.

 

36 soon 37 though

 

32

 

Though I don't belong to the 18-25 category, I thought I will chime in. I work as a mechanical engineer for an oil services company in Houston. 15 months removed from grad school......been a little over 13 months at my first real job. And no I haven't paid off my car yet, still paying off those student loans!

my dad just scored plant manager at a research and development laboratory (shell) and is mostly the one paying to repair my car (new catalytic converter next week!)
my audi is just a new project, my main wallet breaker has and and up till just recently was my 4runner, my wife and i bought it practically brand new for 30k cash after a lot and a lot of f'ing saving (savings accounts were used, trips to japan forfeitted, and the notion of continuing my education lost) . i work a **** job (wal-mart anyone?) to help pay for my wife's schooling (culinary) and to fuel my obsessive need to drive atleast 100 miles a day. wife will be in a job and out of school soon, hopefully either the Hyatt or a country club offer she has received, and once that happens, bye bye a6, hello s4 or elise and welcome back to school!
