19, another Mech. Eng. Student at WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute). I also work full time as a retail manager (go ahead, laugh. It pays the bills doesn't it?) Including motor, turbos, clutch, and PFC this summer, I've spent just about $10k on my addiction.

just turned 16 on last monday. Had the FD a year as of 3 weeks ago. Also broke as hell and currently making money detailing cars out of my garage. @ $90 per car, it beats the hell out of bagging groceries!

R.A.O.S.!!!
18 years old. full time busser at the olive garden here in vallejo, california ... job sucks... heading for college in january, just bought my vintage red FD a month ago for $14,500 with 52,000 original miles.... it has a small oil leak but it's in the process of getting fixed. financing my car with insurance for only $343 a month cuz my dad hooked me up through his credit union. i get paid about $1000 or so a month so i usually invest all my money in my car and clothes... right now i'm looking for a good rotary shop somewhere close to home so if anyone knows where i can find one please reply... as for now.... "LIFE IS SWEET!"

Hah, well 2 years ago I was a student, now I'm an analyst for a retail drug company. Hooray for still owning the car... still haven't broken it too badly either!

23--had the FD for about 18 months. I'm the general manager and marketing director of a chain of retail stores. I'm also the deputy managing editor of the upcoming RX Tuner Magazine. I keep busy.

49, but still feel like 35. Likely spent $10G in upgrades on the car, and have owned it for the past 4 years. Also race a 125cc shifter kart (same as an FD, only smaller), and just bought an 2000 Audi A6 4.2 (300hp!) on Ebay- practically stole the car for $19G! I can only imagine how an RS6 goes- because this sedan cranks!

Big Three Zero this year.. Single (recently ended relatioinship), 3 car habit, ready to switch job in Nov., and house to fix..
Oh.. I just captured a live scorpion in the house.. I recently killed one and I think its mate.. I did hear that they tend to travel in two's... So, if you find a scorpion in your house (This is my fourth one since moving down to good ole Alabama) make sure you look for the second one..

Call me gramps!
I'm 18, and I'm a Computer Science student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I just recently purchased my FD, but I've spent at least $400 on it so far, and I've only had it for a few months (~2). Oh yeah, this is my daily driver, too.

I'm one of the 'older' ones in your area at 39 although most of the people I've seen around here that have FD's are much younger. The older ones are around but don't post. Havn't spent anything on the FD the past year or so. Wait, that's not true I did get an R1 oil cooler and lines. Most of my dough goes into my house, savings, new baby, paying off debt, etc. Spent a couple grand here and there when I first got it 3-4 years ago. Engineer/Analyst.
