i dont know, i say more power to him. im 20 years old, and i work part time cuz i go to school full time. i make about 10bux an hour but its almost been a year now and i can still afford my car payment, plus insurance, plus cell phone, gas, and credit card bills without the help of anyone else. because you can do anything you put ur mind to it. ive been workin since i was 16 years old. and since then i bought a 97 maxima, a 2002 honda civic, and now the S2000. although i no longer have the maxima and civic, but i was determined. sometimes i ask myself, is this for real? how am i doin all this? but i manage my money well. and when i graduate from college, i figure ill have a better job then making my payments will be nothing. i also pay 3300 in insurance a year. also, i bought with my own money a 1100 jic exhaust, and payed 1100 for a toda header too. im even hookin up the car. i guess its good i dont have to pay rent cuz i live under my parents roof. but im just very fortunate, but also i do work my ass off. i think about my bills before i think about anything else. most young people like me get payed, and blow their whole check away, but i first pay off my car bills, and then see what i have to work with. even if its not alot, i can survive. ive been doin it for many years. in conclusion, i say to ur friend the best of luck, but u will have some rough roads here and there.

Nice looking S2K. As long as he knows how to manage his $, he'll be fine. Although with gas prices going through the roof every week, it's gonna cost an arm and a leg to fill her with premium. Can you guys believe these prices? What happened to all that oil in IRAQ? Geez, start pumping it already.

People do some CRAZEE shit for cars. But, if his mother is the safety net, screw it and go for it! I wonder how long it will be before he drops out of college to get another job to pay for mods! You can kiss this college degree goodbye. 
Don't you usually get the nice car after college? Must be a rich family is my guess. Ignore me, I'm just jealous as hell. Wish I had an S2000 when I was in college.

ralpers right crixtala. ur friend just got the car, he should take it easy on her. forget the exhaust and stuff for now. when i bought my car first, i tested it out to see how it feels to just pay the payments every month, cuz he doesnt wanna rush to start buyin parts for it. i wasnt even ever gonna get an exhaust for this car but i just bought one cuz i got sold on how light and nice it was. im glad im sorta an inspiration here. i mean, i hope everything works out with ur friend. you just gotta be motivated.
