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.

 

wth? lol

 

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

 

tell me about it, im starting college this september so i dont expect to have much money left over, the money i do have over i will use for my car. My friend is trying to get a 96-00 Hatch and only makes 5.25/hr.

 

thats why I'm lookin for a DSM turbo...cheap speed!

 

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.

 

whats all this talk about money and small guys in big trucks? hhehe

 

me and my wife we make good money. but after all the morgage and bills that i have to pay i hardly have anymoney left for anything. wish i would of stay in the damn apartment instead of buying a house so i could have hella money leftover at the end of the month. and living in vegas doesn't help either cuz my second hobby is gambling. damn....i gotta get the hell out of here.

 

then u must really fit this mold..im old and drive a truck for a living but WTF..the bills get paid..the kids in college and ive got my toys

 

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.

 

I hate being poor...period.

 

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..

 

i'm still paying for everything by myself...i could stay with my parents as long as i go to school full time and work...i work full time as well...i hate seeing young kids with Bimmers...

 

or IS300s

 

i agree i hate those little kids who daddy and mommy buy them all their toys, i had to work hard driving a truck for two years to get my civic and it still needs alot of work

 

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
