Default never too old, never too young

I 'm jsut jealous of older guys cause they all make lots more money than youger guys. My whole yearly salary is about what I need for my car. Most guys can build at least one great car a year. and size, well I got a friend whos 6-1 and 205 in a crx, in south county all the small guys drive big trucks.

Don't be jealous. Choose a field that will afford you the same opportunites. Don't buy the "winning the lottery of life" crap.

Its easy to feel frustrated. I do sometimes. Eventhough I don't make enough cash to make my car the way I would like it to be, I still enjoy learning through my tinkering. Older people that are 25+ also have other things to worry about (house payments, families, etc.) so it all evens out. My brother envys me now because all I do is go to school. When he graduated, he started to make more money of course but he became an 8 to 5 working stiff.

I dont know about the others, but this older guy has to feed his kid (soon to be kids plural), save for a house, so on and so on. While I do make pretty good money, I have other responsibilities (not that you dont) so in the end it probably evens out. Like someone said earlier, work towards a good carreer and well paying job. Then, instead of tuning Hondas, you could work with BMW's, Porsches, Ferraris.

Hey I had a second job working at a pizza parlor just to make make payments on my Civic and buy upgrade stuff. It took a while to save up, but that makes it more important you when you have to actually work for your parts...unlike some kids who are "sponsored by Mom and Dad"... I'm jealous of them because i was never sponsored..

hey man i totally agree with you about paying for everything yourself...i do the same. but you shouldnt hate on those bimmer kids...im sure their parents work just as hard as we do (or more) for those bimmers. think of it this way...their parents arent gonna be around forever to spoon feed em so if they dont learn to work for their $hit, then theyre gonna be a$$ed out someday anyways, know what i mean? if anything feel sorry for them man. just my opinion
