I was one of these 'Crazy Kids', at 17/18 rolling around in a modded BFII F6, except I was earning 600-700 a week and paying about 150, so it was alright :) And I wasn't some unintelligent bogan. I don't think I can really boast about the Supercheap Auto job, but better than an unintelligent bogan I think ;)

Then by 19, I was in an modded FG with a built motor haha. Now I'm 20, with an amazing job, with still f*ck all money and in a bit of debt haha. As much as I loved my cars, I wish I had waited. If I saved and was smarter I'd be in one of them now, wouldn't have had to sell it, and I'd probably own it by now. But, we live and learn, I wont be doing that again anytime soon.

You got in one early haha. I saved throughout my apprenticeship paid cash and bought one when I was 20 and trade qualified lol. Now I've pured to much into mods :( Shame it's gonna be up for sale soon.

Nope, I'm possibly (more than likely) joining the Navy as an electronic tech submariner. If not I'm moving to Melbourne regardless.

Well mate, even though you gotta sell it, Electronic Tech Submariner sounds pretty awesome! Shame to hear though mate.

What I find so hard now is when you look at an FG X for instance, or an FPV of any sort, and you are looking at 40+ grand for a fairly new/brand new one, say you go and spend 20 and do it right, brakes, suspension, tyres, and a handful of bolt on mods, you are at 60 grand +. If you go all out you'd be looking at a total of 70-80 (to do it right). If you did it with a brand new car you'd be looking at that or higher again. When you get to that price you start looking at few year old M3's/M5's/C63's/Lotus'/AMG Mercs/S+RS Audi's etc... I think the next car I'm gonna have to do some big research and driving to see if the extra - on high end luxury cars/low end supercars - is worth it, or if I'd rather have a really nice ford that's a fair bit quicker.
