4/21/03 at the age of 18. Worked for a pizza shop since 13, started delivering pizza at 16 in my 95 pontiac sunfire. I managed to get a credit card as well as a checking account at 16 with a 200 dollar limit and maintained perfect account standing. I saved up about $8500 to put down on the car and financed the balance of the $14k through my bank (thanks to my perfect credit). Still own it to this day. Ive since graduated college with a degree in chemical engineering and am now pursuing my MBA in finance.

That's a C-West N1 Type II. One of the more common, but older body kits.

28, finally got the car this month in august.

Im glad I didnt have mine when I was younger. I probably would have went insane and spent all my time fixing and driving it hard. I defintely have more respect for cars now then I did then.

I was 22 in 2003. Bone stock. Thanks to auto-x it is still around. Car control skills are a lifesaver.

i scooped ice cream for 1 year to save up enough money for an FC, age 16. then bumped it up to a bus boy, then a hospital cafeteria worker, then an electrical technician for the FLUKE corp., to an air plane mechanic at boeing. bought the FD at age 18 in 2006. straight cash... it was a salvage title. props to the kids who can save, cuz i sure suck at it.. its almost unbelievable how you could do it.

Gimme four years and if the market is still in demand for engineers, I'll have mine. That'd put me at 22/23.

I bought mine the day before my 20th birthday in 1999. I went straight from picking it up to the DMV to renew my driver's license and talked to the guy at the DMV about chicken farming.
