18 about to be 19. Bought a F-150 Supercrew when I was 17. Traded in on the S. I pay for everything myself. Working 60+ hours a week without a car = being able to buy what you want. GPW Tan -

 

Well my story is:

bought mine 3 days after I turned 21. Was going to college right before then but was not happy and decided to not go back the next year. Got a job as a contractor at a university hospital IT dept. Father co-signed with me because I did not have much credit at the time (but I make all the payments, insurance, gas, maintainence. my father lives in another state now). 3 months after working there they let me go, and a month later I started working at a state government agency. Been here for 2.5 years doing database administration stuff. Got my job at the right time because the person before me had just quit a week or 2 prior and I had a friend here my brother knew, and I called him up and he said they had an opening and told me how to apply. Got a response a week or 2 later for an interview. Did that and a couple of weeks after that they called me and said I could start on the 1st of the month. Been here ever since I now own a house ($700 a month, houses are cheap in mississippi), but have a roommate and the S is my only car. When I need a big item moved, my mom has a truck, and I have a couple of friends with trucks as well.

 

23, got my '03 when I graduated and got a 'real' job Now I'm a corporate whore, but that's ok.

 

20, and might be out of debt soon if someone would just buy my delsol.

 

17, 18 in September, been working since I was 12. Saved up 25K, and bought an 02. I pay for gas, insurance, and college, if you don't pay for things yourself you don't appreciate them half as much.

thats how it should be.

 

18, got my first one when i was 16.
i'm not currently working, but when i did, and even now...all my money goes to the car.

 

Got mine at 29. I act like I'm 16 though, still pick up the skateboard now and again. But I feel like I'm 50 (worry constantly about money, my job, retirement savings, and mortgage payments).
