Age? Occupation?...
WOW, a lot of you guys have very good jobs.
I'm a Test Operator at HP (Hewlett Packard) during the day and a Field Service Technician deploying PCs at the navy base during night.
I got my FD 5 yrs ago for 20k.

four years of private high school... $100,000
four years of college... $140,000
weakly wage (after taxes) that your father pays you to do mind-numbing manual labor because there are no better jobs... $320
Realizing you will nearly 40 years old before you justify your education... DEPRESSING!
God? Have you ever seen "Cape Fear"? Well that's what ****'s gonna be like for you after I die, so you'd better laugh while you still can.
Oh yeah, I'm 22, and my father bought me the car for $8000 (was worth about $6000, IMO).

37 years old, software engineer, bought mine new from the dealer in '94, $36K.
I'm old enough to have driven a 1st gen RX-7 when it still had the new car smell, back in '84.
