I paid $125 for a 3yr align, balance, rotate program when I put new tires on my S.

I ABR every 6 months and I'm approaching 27k on my Yoko's.

Money well spent.
'cept for the rotation part... You get a discount or are they actually swapping your wheels around

Good luck on trying to get an S2k. I bought mine March 30th of this year. I'm 17 and I know I can handle all these bills. I get deals at my job which is a Honda dealership. I get free oil changes, free maintenance from my mechanic, and I get employee discount prices on tires. I do make all my own payments and still have plenty of money to spend. Things are different when you pay for your own stuff, you respect it more.

What about the rent, PG&E, sewer, water and garbage? Stock tires on this car cost about $700, plus sales tax will run you about $60, plus installation which is about another $50 to $60. Do you have any clue as to how much insurance is for a driver of an S2K that is under 25 years of age? Oh, I forgot, you are on your parents policy.

Did I mention the cost of good food. When you are paying for all of this, then you can talk about making ALL your own payments.

I have to say that either cars are too cheap in the US or teenagers are either spoilt or make way too much money.

Driving a 240hp car that young has to be a recipe for disaster.

Yes I know you're here saying that your, fine, experienced etc... I hate to be on this forum when you suddenly stop posting because the big man upstairs hasn't got DSL installed yet.
