[Lukey]

i find it hard to believe anyone can save up 29k on apprentice and part time wages.

[FASN8U]

i find it hard to believe anyone can save up 29k on apprentice and part time wages.
thats awesome man...



apprentice wages and part time wages combined , yes stil not alot. 6-7 days a week , overtime . finishing work then going to the other job , long hours , not spending foolishly etc all comes into play. why is everyone so interested in how i payed for it?

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

i find it hard to believe anyone can save up 29k on apprentice and part time wages.

Lukey its very possible if you think about it

If for example i was working as an apprentice and living with my parents (like a fair few of my friends are) and save EVERY SINGLE PENNY accept for buying lunch at work (and even then packing your own is best) its more then possible

[FASN8U]

thank you.^
its not easy but possible

[Raztaz]

hey guys! thanks so much for the positive comments , yer as you can see in one of the pics is my mums accord euro she bought brand new in 05' and has been realy happy with it aswell. in the near future looking to get bigger rims and go abit lower also. was thinking of 18's /19s but herd that anything bigger than 18" will make it feel like driving a boat , can anyone confirm this or point me in the right direction? thanks in advance

[hisoka]

this guy know how to roll,. um about the rims do you want like chrome style wheels or j style racing kinda rims, and yer its good to stay under 18".

[thescotty]

[rbk_212]

Why did you go for an auto?


Hope your happy with your first car, enjoy it because first cars are always the most sentimental and you'll miss it when you've moved on :)

[FASN8U]

well buying an auto or manual didnt realy bother me , just found one in realy good condition that happend to be auto . plus its a triptronic so i couldt have found something that suited me better.

[Trilla]

You really should look into learning how to drive a manual anyways good luck man.

[FASN8U]

yer mate i need a manual liscense for work anyways so it is important to no, i will be going for a manual liscence, and i do as often as i can practice on a manual car.

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

Thats trippy, power/weight laws... manual/auto licenses... shit!
Im from SA its so much easier here. Our licence is for both manual n auto cars n no power restrictions, insurance only thing holdin us back in that department.

my 1st car was a paseo, and i dont miss it one bit


anyway, come by to meets/cruises if any are being held

[FASN8U]

yer im interested in comming to a meet and cheking out your cars in person, il keep an eye on the threads

[KofS2s]

Good choice of colour. My opinion is leave it stock. It's a Luxury auto model so wouldnt be worth much later on if u do things to it.

[b18boy]

Hey mate clean car for someone your age,
id say just keep it till you get off your p's

[FASN8U]

yer i wont be doing any performance mods, in my eyes it never will be a performance car wether its manual or auto. just wnat to make it a headturner with rims that standout and a pumpin system.

[Crapdaz]

Should have hunted longer for a manual.
So much more you could pull out of them.

But nice car, great buy.
Remember Once you start buying sh*t for your car you'll only want more.

[TCP]

so jealous =[ my first car was a 83 celica with rust everywhere
