How will you be able to afford an evo when your working less than 20 hrs a week on a part time job? Your monthly payment for the car is going to more than $300 a month and your insurance might be high since your pretty young. You will also be spending close to $50 to fill your tank with gas.

let's say your payment is $400 + $150(insurance) + $200(50x4 weeks in a month for gas) = $750


I really don't think you can afford that or even a 350z

Yea no **** with less than 20 hours I’m ****ed. I’m still waiting for an opening for full time or at least work two jobs.

I'm doing the mom system with the insurance, she pays for it. and we go 25/75 "I pay the most of it" on the monthly payments.

I've done the math already and the payments will be around $500+.
It’s not like I’m going to go buy it with a part time job that gives less than 20 hours. That’s just ludicrous. And I'm still waiting on were I’m going to move sence my rent is going up.v

By the way how many of you are going to the Rim of the World Rally this weekend? I got my discount coupon ready, and I am sending my wife to her mom's for the weekend.
wow, 2.79... HAHAAHAHA we WISH it was that low (now)..

Exxon had it for 3.09 for supreme today in Chino. I'm holding out another day or 2 hoping it'll drop a few more cents, since I pass it all the time anyway.
