sorry i didn't realise we were living in a joke free society ruled by yourself. My apologies.

Let go of this pointless argument would you, and let's get back on topic.

Im 19 and I could easily buy an XR8 or XR6T today with cash. Not hard to save up. Its not really how much you earn its how wisely you save/spend. Bank won't own my car.

I earn somewhere in between $500-1000 a week and by no stretch of the imagination wealthy. I work my **** off and when I get my next car it will all be worth it. I just know how to save. But yeah living at home and getting everything paid for also works out pretty good hehe! Now I just got to get off my **** and look for a car. Maybe I just don't want to get rid of the TX5 cause it's a great car. Was meant to be looking at a WRX today but too hungover!
