I turned 19 in February and purchased my FD shortly after in March. Working fulltime right now and about to finish up the first part of school with my AS in network engineering. Im about in the same boat as Janus, just working IT down here in sunny SoCal (San Diego for me). Doing reliability stuff for my car waiting to pay it off. (halfway there) got some nice toys with her that will go in when im ready for it (FMIC + Apexi Single Turbo ) but want to get my downpipe and radiator installed asap as its starting to get hot around here (95 come on its may). Nice to be around here with all the knowledge that exists, if I wouldnt have found this forum i dont know what i would be doing.

24 since February. Work in sales at an Aviation Service Center(not a very glorifying job). Own a 96' Chevy 4x4, and a 90' Nissan 240sx hatchback, but saving up for an FD(friend had an FC Turbo II up until he got a 2nd gen Mr2 turbo). Still rather wet behind the ears on the rotaries, but I love the feel and the lines of the 3rd gens. (enough to pull me away from my 240's and pistons...)

I can't believe this thread started in '01. Well I'm 25, poor, broke, and don't have a lot of money.

 

I was 21 in March...Had the FD since '99. I've probably spend about $2000 on it including rims, tires, and rear seats.

I'm a mechanical engineering student at NCSU.

26, Tax Attorney. I have spent around 10k in the last 12 months, but under 3 grand over the previous 6 years that I have owned the car.

 

37, Graphic Designer. I just dropped 10k in the car this year. I don't know how anyone can own one of these without a second car. Almost have my T04S in!!

 

18 turning 19 in a month. Unemployed, gonna go job hunting tomorrow. Hopefully to land something interesting, don't really care though.

Studying pure math @ UofT, but deeply considering switching to actsci.

24 Sysadmin for an ISP in lower NY

 

I can't remember if I already responded to this thread, I'm gettign old and my memory is failing.

35, bought the care when I was 27 and has been my daily driver ever since...

 

34 yo software engineer moving into architecture - bought my '94 in '97 off someone else's 3 year lease - had 33k on it, now just over 80k. I've put about $2500 into it in regular maintenance and oil leaks. A few weeks ago the turbo and engine died (turbo leaking oil, engine losing compression), so I'll be putting about 12k into it over the next 6-9 months, taking my time and performing several reliability modifications. Now that it's not my only car, I really feel I can do the work that needs to be done and take my time to do it right. This car is a classic.

 

Dont remember if i posted on this tread and if i did already sorry...but im 18 now had the car for over a year now and have about 3grand into the car...gotta love the FD

 

43 – Computer system administrator for a federal agency, had '93 FD since early ’95 after ******* in F150 T-boned my mustang at 60 MPH while fleeing an attempted burglary. I am reluctant to add up how much I have put into it, but a wise man once told me ‘you can not justify money for toys, so don’t worry about it’, and so I don’t.
