31, Mortgage Broker, paid $18,000 for my FD w/ 28,000 miles and dumped about $40,000 in mods!

If anyone needs to refinance or purchase a house let me know! LOL




Oh yea...I am also President of the Mile High Rotary Club....but it doesn't pay too good!

 

34, male, currently unemployed, bought my series 8 with 24,000k (14, 000 mile), only mods are the tein springs, C-West front bumper, door mirrors, and the JC Cosmo wheels .

 

23, Commercial Diver. Bought my fd for 13.5 6 months ago and am aproaching 20k total invested pretty soon. I feel kinda out of place with all you smart ******* that went to college.

 

28, student (yes i took a long break from school) used to work as an executive tech support for IBM until i got laid off and decided to do something I like.
Currently doing sales (temporary job)

Juggled some money and managed to buy the FD and I've had it for 2.5 years, bought it for a good deal.

 

i'm 33, self employed laminate countertop fabricator and looking for love. JUST JOKING haha!!. i payed $15,000.00 for my fd three years ago, we do not talk about who much money has been spent on it. this car has brought so much frustration and anger to my life, but i love it and i would sell my kidneys before i would sell my car.

 

Im 18, and i work at an elementary school.. get payed **** but i love kids. bought the car 3 months ago with 80k miles on it for 13,5. My second occupation allowing me to afford this car is being jewish.

 

29, supervisor/forman/safety tech/many other things, for a company that does contract work inside the oil refineries. i purchased my 93 r1 about 9 months ago for 15k at 67,000 miles on it.

 

28, Research and Development analyst, bought my current FD in March for a bit of nothing. It just got the paint job it needed. Other than that it was a great condition bone stock 93 VR R1 with 48,000 on it.

 

That must have hurt -- the XK-150 is a beautiful car... at least you were able to get a house with the funds!

 

18, poor college student (moreso because of the car then college) studying mechanical engineering at Rose-Hulman, got my 93 back in May. $13k w/56000 miles, engine/turbos had less than 1000 miles.

 

Yea, it hurt bad. I loved that car. She was fast. The electric overdrive gave it nice top end but hauling that thing down from speed was downright terrifying. It was the first production sports car with the then new dunlop disc brakes (all 4 wheels)derived from Jag's Le Mans racing. The press raved about them at the time. Don't believe it. Truely scary to stop. Handling was pretty impressive considering it was a large, full frame, early '50s design that ran on tall skinny tires (18X5 I seem to recall). Of course a stock civic could out cross it today. Had a shifter that felt like a bolt on a .50 cal anti-tank gun. Mechanical feel and positive gate engagement like you can't believe. Yep, I really loved that automobile. Some rich Japanese is driving her now. I hope he's treating her well.

 

19, Aircraft Mechanic for Continental Airlines, and student... Bought my 93 R1 for 8500 with minor boost problems. only 90k miles with 39k on motor, and 15k on turbos!
