As I said before, I'll get more pics when I get home, I'm in the Bay Area visiting my sister for the weekend.
I'm 27 years old and I worked on BMWs Porsches, Mercs, Audis, and other high end cars for a South Puget Sound indie shop for the last few years and started to get tired of the whole thing, money was so so and the car business is a tough one to move up in quickly even if you are driven. Fortunately I got a bachelors degree prior to picking up wrenches so I had some options and bargaining power.
Now I am in property management, specifically apartments, which sort of allows me to apply my economics degree, although in some ways apartment management is more akin to adult baby sitting. Thankfully I have onsite managers working for me that deal with the day to day BS. The business I work for is family owned which has decided pluses and minuses to it. Obviously it means some day provided things work out as they appear to be doing it'll be mine. However, working with family is a challenge all its own, in addition I'm sort of on call at all times which can be a real headache if someone's pipe bursts at 2am or something like that.
Long story short the job boosted my income a bit, and has caused my living expenses to drop, I drive a company vehicle to work, eat lots of meals on the company dime and work often enough that I don't have as much time to spend the money I have. After assessing this and a lot of thought I bought the car.
