Default what's your status?

I was wandering.. what's you job's pay, age, wife / kids, and how much has gone into your car? i'm just curious to know what amount of income goes to your car, the age range, and when you bought your mods (kinda a timeline). hopefully that made sense. like your stroy

I'm 18, working at a retirement home making $6.81 and hour (6 cent raise woo woo!). i bought the car for 8,000, 76,000 miles, 99 int ls. my mom paid for half and me the other half. i've been saving however for 2 1/2 years. i droped 2G's into the car. lowering, coils shocks, rims, tires and the basic boltons. right now i've got... $179, school sucks , but i'm reading about turbo.... which looks to be a project 2-3 years from now. that's my car plans!

I'm 19, make $16.50/hr as cadd manager at a reprographics company. Had my car for a year and a half. Bought it bone stock with 107,000 miles. Now I have:

Greddy Turbo/Intercooler kit
Rims
Lowering Springs/camber kits
ITR Swaybar
Greddy Evo II Exhaust

Most of my money goes to my car which includes insurance, parts, and maintenance. I have done everything myself, so that saved me money. Also, everything I have for my car except the ITR Swaybar was purchased on ebay.
