How old is everyone?

i see where your coming from, im 16 but i actually paid for over 75 percent of the truck and ive paid for every single upgrade to my truck (ive been working and saving since i was 12, finally paid off)

 

I'm 19 and have realized one of my dreams, the tacoma was a dream and I got it, I'm so happy, now I just want to have a better fuel conmsuption

 

Now THAT is impressive.

 

23 and happy to be it.

this car is my first new and I'm working for it, and it does seem little strange that a 16 year old needs a new car, but that just how it is for some people. Can't get to mad about it, if you worked hard for yours, you know it and that should be good enough. 2cent

 

thanks, ya alot of people question why i got it. but i love taking care of things, so it kinda works for me. and plus my dad is a cfo of a pretty large company(doesnt throw me a cent lol) but i know how to manage money very well

 

hell yeah man. I salute you for workin your ass off like me. see thats what it takes. some kids are spoiled rotten and dont know what hard work is. but you seem to be different. i gotta give props where props are due.

 

Even if the kid can pay for it on their own?

 

Seriously what kind of job can a kid get to pay for a $20,000 truck? I know I couldnt at that age and with the jobs I found. Hell Im in a mining engineering internship and Im just making 13 and hour. I guess if my kid had enough money to pay for insurence and a new truck then I would say go for it! Then when he wanted money for college I would say go trade in your truck lol.

 

i worked and helped run 2 paintball fields and i used to play semi professional paintball

 

I can.

As soon as another branch or project picks me up at SPAWAR (link) as a STEP (Student Temp Employment Program) intern - I'll be making somewhere between 16,880 and 62,000 a year.

I guess you all are just awesome...Livin' the dream!

 

not really. some of us are just thinking ahead. in some cases way ahead for what we want to do with our lives. me for instance. i want to go into the coast guard or naval academy. i dont know which. im just going to apply to both and see if i can get in. its a smart move. ill get military discipline and some benefits after i retire.

 

I know maybe they will teach you some punctuation lol jk.

 

...Says the person who's using instant messaging acronyms.

 

haha. no if i really cared then i might take my time. but its fun to post. if i was writing a thesis paper( which i have done many) then it might be different. but i appreciate the heads up.

 

I never thought I would be getting molested by two kids for trying to help them understand an important lesson in life. Who would have thought the younger would think I didnt know what I was talking about. Shut up old man you dont know anything even if you thought you knew everything like us a few years ago. Just fun...

 

nah we aint tryin to fluster you or aggravate or furiate you we are just defending our youth. phoenix cadet im sure probly appeciates the input. i know i do.

 

17 last march, and loving my Tacoma.
Hoping to keep it for many years to come!

 

I know I do hope you enjoy it while you can.

 

There are larger dreams than just owning a truck.

Education. Career. Maybe family.

Don't have your dreams set on material objects, especially a depreciating one like a vehicle.
