    Dont get me wrong.. Im not saying a young person can not afford a big car payment and live on their own,,, it was just one of the FEW options I listed....

    I mean, between the genesis, and the escalade, my monthly payments are nearly the same. For the first year I had the vette, i paid a loan on that, and was well over the monthly payments of a GTR...

    Yeah but you've already established a career and own your home and everything. A buddy of mine knows some of those GTR kids personally and told me they have crap retail jobs and barely make enough to cover the car payment every month. Their parents do pay for everything else for them. This sounds more like I should be posting in what grinds your gears lol.

    Got to agree..... rolling around in a 70,000+ car doesn't impress me. I see kids that work at Pizza Hut and napa rolling around in C5/C6's and new Camaro's. Yes they got a nice car, but they couldn't afford food off the dollar menu at mcds. Let alone afford to pick up a girl and take her out.

    I've seen 20 year old kids in 40,000 Camaro's pay for a 5 dollar pizza in change.

    That's just retarded!

    L... well the guy with this GTR, is a business owner... I grew up with him...and then lost track of him for about 10 years.... and met back up with him

    I can respect a guy who can actually afford that on top of everything else. Looks like a great wrap job too. Props to him. :thumbup:
