I agree about being out on ur own. Being able to survive on ur own means being able to make the right decisions.
Good luck. You know hoe many businesses fail? I wouldn't spout off about making any money until you even have the business.

Thanks bro. My dad had 2 small businesses so I have picked up quite a bit, and I know how many businesses fail. But that's not gunna stop me or scare me. I was bred to be a business owner. I'm GOING to succeed and am gunna make a good honest living. Im a capitalist. I'm a greedy competitor who will out do the shop next door by offering a better service at a competitive price. That's how capitalism works and that's why it is so successful. If business owners weren't so greedy and didn't want everyone's money, then they wouldn't have any reason to offer quality services and products. I won't bad mouth shops by any means, I will just do what it takes to take their customers and let my work speak for itself. Economics 101 bro. Fuck.the.mother.fucking.world.

That's a good union. Can't outsource that. Unions in general have a bad name unfortunately. My dad told me about a buddy of his who worked at the GM factory in fremont. He would gloat about how little he had to work. He would slam 7 or 8 beers during lunch then go back to the factory. Then he would gloat about how many cars were failing and there was nothing anyone could do about it and how he had it made. The problem is that GM was raising prices while putting out shittier quality. My dads friend was completely shocked when they closed and moved the factory. If u make shit, and get paid like a king, something has got to give

If there is merit to this you need to re-evaluate yourself...there's a little more to life than owning a badass ride. I'd say if you really have all this money...go buy a house so you can have a place to put your rides...and stop crowding mom and dads place...

Thats what I'm talking about...good shit bro!

Not talking shit, but you talk about all the money your making and its taking you months to build a gt40 setup on your fox, its going to cost you atleast a 1000 a month to own a 03 cobra, so if your not comfortablely saving or putting a 1000 dollars into your car than you can't afford a new car. It's harder getting out your mama's house with a repo on your credit.

No one's talking shit, were just trying to give you advice some of us got or needed when we were your age, I think you should just fix up your mustang to the fullest, buy a little beater and save the rest of your money to either help your parents more, save for a house or even just a rainy day. Your only young once and it goes by fast, so do what you got to do now so you won't regret it later.

That's what I'm trying to do but I don't wanna go all out on this block well because it's only good up to what, 500? Yeah I want something around that power maybe more without worrying about the block splitting on me. N saving for a house idk how much I would need to save up, plus before this thread I was seriously thinking about going to a auto school or take a course or something so I can do something I like to do instead of some bullshit ass job that you go to school for like 4+ years to do something you hate doing for a very long time.

i think this thread needs to be locked now. some of us are a little older, late 20s to mid 30s, so we've been there and done that. you're still young, feeling like you have all the time in the world and doing what you think is best. we all "knew it all" too. fact of the matter is that the truth hurts, you're young and you really don't know shit(no offense).
i won't preach what's already been said, but none of the things said will hit you in the face until you're a little older then you will see whats up.
let it be known that caford has warned you, lol. we tried to steer you straight, but you being "neight", stubborn as a bull, we can pretty much figure out where you'll be in 10yrs with an 80% accuracy.
btw, get what car floats you boat or tickles your fancy, our opinions mean shit as noted already.
the life jacket has been thrown to you and you refuse to use it. i say fuck it and swim on your own.
close thread, case closed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, plain and simple, ask yourself this. Do you really want to settle for less?
Plus if you do get either one of those cars you'll likely get a 5 year loan or more meaning if your 20 now then you might not be able to afford and live on your own until your about 25-27!!!! And i have a feeling that being 20 and living for free, you will not be able to afford a place if you were to have to move out of your parents houae.
Being 25-27 and still living with your parents is not a good thing.

This is VERY true. Expect the unepxpected dude. I dont think you'll be able to afford either car payment plus insurance/gas if something unexpected came up like having to move out on your own or what if you have a kid start a family or what not.
But then again i don't know what your financial situation is. But i have a feeling, that at 20 years old, its not pretty....
