Fuck man haha even when I become an engineer I don't think it's feasible for me to buy a vehicle that expensive haha

live2drive15 04-21-11 08:19 PM

I won't ever need to buy a Lambo cuz Casey is a nice guy and lives really close. So I'll just enjoy his! haha

rx7what 04-22-11 12:08 AM

You guys would be surprised how cheap they have become. I found one I actually wanted in low 80K range. Right now its easy to find a 03-04 in that area. Especially since the LP560 revision came out with the new bumpers lights and more horse power.

Just think if you put down 50k and financed 30-40k the payment would be the same as buying a Honda accord. Insurance might be a little more but my wife is a insurance agent so I'm sure we can work that out.

How much do you think you will make as a engineer? Nurses start out around 100k a year and can make over 150k depending on where they are and what their job title is. That coupled with the fact that my wife has a full time job as well means we should be pretty comfortable. And nurse anesthetists average around 180k a year. But its also 4-6 years more schooling.

live2drive15 04-22-11 10:42 AM

My wife and I combined will probly never make 100k a year. But I don't really want a lambo. I just want an FD!

SmogSUX 04-22-11 04:24 PM

Nurses in my area (Note: NOT the bay lol) start at about 60k. Engineers start at around 80k and after 4 years I take my PE (Professional Engineer) test. After that The pay will be over 100k. Also like I said it's dependent on area. If the first job offer I get is in the middle east I'd take it. I'd get so much more pay too and if I work there over a year? It's tax free or some shiz :D

fd3s_rx7 04-22-11 05:06 PM

Yeah that's what you guys say, but when money permits it...hmmm, I'm sure you won't mind rolling in a Lambo...:D

rx7what 04-22-11 05:52 PM

I have never seen anywhere in this state that pays nurses that little. Maybe that's part time. I don't live in the bay, I live about two hours east of oakland in the hills. :) In a little town called Sonora.

How much longer will you be in school? It seems like i will never be done because I am only taking a couple class's at a time so I can work.

Anyone going to the car show in pleasenton this saturday? I think a freind and I will be taking our FD's.

matt87FC 04-22-11 06:36 PM

Ill be ther, probably in my shitty looking, in the middle of bodywork, fc. Lol

SmogSUX 04-22-11 06:53 PM

Well both my parents are RN's and have been doing that for about 20+ years each and working about 40-50 hours a week they make around 100k before taxes. My mom works in a hospital and my dad works in a surgery center for minor surgeries.

And if finances weren't an issue for me I'd be done in 3 semesters, but due to shitty finances it'll take me 4 semesters.

rx7what 04-22-11 07:05 PM

Wow that's awesome about your parents. Yeah I am doing four years of school in about six years. :(

live2drive15 04-24-11 12:06 PM

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all!

I couldn't make it to the classic car meet yesterday so I'm jealous of any of you that made it. Saw some pics from my friend and the cars looked good!

I don't understand Jake. I thought you were trying to sell the HHR to get a FD? Now you have a bug eye?

live2drive15 05-23-11 09:00 AM

Naw I was just selling the hhr cuz I was bored. I was looking for an fd or a wrx decided the wrx was a better choice for now. With my dog and work. plus with the budget I had I would have only got fixer upper FD's and I need a car I can daily drive.
