your other rides?? post em up.

Yup, my IS is green.

A) Don't go to college. That means you start your career at 18, which means you have more time to pay off a car and go on to buy the next one.

B) Don't mod any (many) of your cars. My M Coupe and M5 are bone stock. The E30 S50 car I bought heavily modded. I've done minor tweaks to it.

C) Insurance isn't that expensive if your daily driver is a crapbox. My insurance is $300 per month on all 5 of my cars. My daily is the '85 325e, which the insurance company knows is worth $5.93...

Them is the secrets. Rent is steep in San Diego at $1000/month (including utilities), but it's all in priorities.

I guess that explains alot in your case. I hear ya on the college bit, I got my associates and dropped out cause I am on the road to making damn good money without college.

I didn't think your ///M cars were bone stock, they look good :)

Insurance on the other hand is a problem, livin in pierce county, its not a felony until your 9th car theft, as a result our car insurance is through the roof. Until I just recently got the '5 years wiht no accidents' reduction, I was paying 240 to be insured on my '91 Jetta as the primary and the e30 as the secondary insured vehicle.

My motorcycle runs me another 86$ or so a month as well.

So thats 300-350$ right there for two cars and a bike.

Oh man, I don't have pictures of them all, but I'll list them out:

My daily beater: 1988 325

My track car: 1988 SuperEta Stroker

My project: 1988 2.7i budget stroker

Oh, and it's pictured below...the blue car.

Oh yea...and umm...yea...just the blue car. :)

My car does everything...track, autocross, drive me 1000 miles to home and 1000 miles back to school, with 530lbs of my crap in it and on it.

Ahh...it's treating me well. I'm not gettin a daily until I'm out of college, at which point I'm considering picking up an old (by that point) 2000 or 2001 323i.

And the e30:

[808BMW]

As far as the young & owning nice cars bit:

I got a job at 13, held jobs all through high school (I never had 1 weekend, oh well). Modded my e30 the whole time, got out, modded it some more, then bought my 4runner. I haven't bought a vehicle for 6 years, so I felt I deserved it.

Work hard, play harder. I have so many lazy friends that can't keep a job, I just laugh.

And my insurance is about $650 every 6 months for 2 cars.

Badass. What's your opinion of the new Mini, especially the S? I've always had a bit of a crush on the new Mini, I've often thought about buying one.

[James Crivellone]

OK, IMO worst advice ever.

Whether you use your degree or not doesn't really matter. Having it will. When you are younger (under 30) you can make good money without a degree, but you will hit a point where you can't go further.

My Dad was an aircraft engineer and never finished his degree. He got passed over for promotions solely because he didn't have the degree, regardless of his experience and ability, the higher jobs required it. When he started engineering he didn't need a degree, try to get hired in it now without one. Those fields that pay well and don't require degrees now will once everyone jumps into them.

I got into computer work 15 years ago while I was in college getting my degree. I made great money and moved to Texas before finishing my degree. A couple years later when looking for a job I had a hard time in a market saturated with degreed candidates. I went back and finished the class I needed and earned my degree last May. Best thing I ever did.

Don't kid yourself and say the degree doesn't matter, it does. Sure there are examples like Bill Gates, etc, but I doubt very few here are like that. When you're older it will hold you back. I've seen it and I've lived it.

As for my cars, I got them by deciding early on to not have a car loan. I buy older cars by choice and fix them up. I can drive them for a year or two and not be throwing away $400/month on a car payment. That extra money adds up quick. Each time I sell one I usually add a little cash and get something nicer. I now have the 4 BMW's, truck, and Harley and don't owe a cent. Feels good. Now to pay off this new house :crazy:

I agree and disagree. Its really dependent on the job at hand, for engineering a degree I could see as beneficial. But for certain positions, including I.T. I would never even consider it.

I work in Redmond/Bellevue, which is now the Pacific Northwest Equivalent of Silicon Valley, and up here most companies (including mine) look at actual experience, vs college status/degree and frankly I'm happy to see that change.

In my industry I have seen many people cross my path, interviewed a very large amount, and it seems the ones WITH college degree's are the cocky ones who don't understand basic concepts, let alone enterprise I.T.

Some people can pull it off, and thankfully I consider myself one of the few that did. I'm a high school dropout with a GED, and have never step foot in a College classroom, let alone paid a single student loan in my life, and for that I am thankful. I know many people who did something very similar to me, and they are all just as successful.

I hope to never work for a biased company that insists on College degree's, and as I said, many are starting to review that policy and realize that they have a much broader workforce available to them by simple dealing with skills, and not pieces of paper. Very soon I will be in executive management at my company, and I'm thrilled to be there, at 23 years of age I would of never considered a different path, and while I cannot recommend the path I took, but gosh darn it, it worked for me.
