I know i was not able to do so, but then again that was a long time ago.
Pretty simple. Some young guys land great jobs while some others love cars and make poor financial decisions. I find myself somewhere in the middle

Some also simply have wealthy parents...

well i am not afraid to admit that my parents bought me the car... although the 10+k of mods i have on the car are all my money. i'll be sure to buy my parents a nice retirement car as soon as i can afford it !!

exactly! parents bought the car I bought the mods. but i remember back when my parents didn't have money my Mom always wanted an SL500, and I remember being like 6 and promising I'd buy her one some day. Now her and my Dad can afford whatever they want, but I still think I'm going to buy her an SL. Maybe in 12 years when I'm 30 and she'll be turning 60. Just to show my appreciation. My pops has always wanted a 63 Continental Convertible, but maybe I'll do both. Who knows

University of Massachusetts 08' - B.S. in Bio

Graduated a year early and worked

Midwestern University - Arizona College of Optometry 13'

I drive a Dodge Intrepid with 160k on the clock when it died a few months before I was leaving for grad school. I was going to buy a Firebird for my b-day with the money I made throughout the year but my dad insisted I check out 335. Said something about twin turbos. Test drove it, fell in love, and they hooked me up with the difference
No problem admitting that I couldn't fully afford it. Thats what years of school will do to you. I'm still broke, but one day, I'll buy my parents something awesome and make sure they never run out of money.

I am currently a senior at Globe University here in Minnesota. I can honestly say that I would never recommend them to anyone. I really struggle making the payment each term knowing how poor the instructors are. I definitely will not be going there for my masters degree.

UW-Parkside, applying for grad at Milwaukee or Madison later on.

Anyways, I went to work(military) after high school. Now that I'm done with the military, the GI bill pays for education(+ some out of pocket). And bought car with money i made while i was in.

I'm currently a senior Finance major at Santa Clara University. It's not the best party school, but the class sizes are excellent (10-38 people).

Sorry, you're taking college courses online and your parents gave you an E92 M3 for your 18th birthday?
