    I won't keep going round in a loop here, but you virtually did by claiming that people who buy brand new cars either have a loan or rich parents giving them a handout.

    Clearly that myth has been busted.

    Have a lovely evening.


    Warmest Regards

    He posted that his dad owns a car yard. Seems the opposite. I never said he lied about the cars he owned, just he had help. And once again, theres nothing wrong with that.

    <<< im 23 for the record but all of my cars are in my opinion, within the "Average joes price range"

    I have an illness (which i will not disclose) that has stopped me from being able to work stably, i have had odd jobs such as pizza delivery and being a builders hand, but i have always had a nack for detailing cars.. and have been doing it on and off for about 6 years. Between working my mates and family have been very supportive by paying me detail their cars. at the time i had a Vk berlina (****box) Working on my mates cars eg. Late model calais, senators, Evo, skylines and a couple of cars that have been featured in HOT4's magazine. Which made me... shoud i dare say jealous?? ... no ill just say envious (sounds better lol) This pushed me to squeeze penny's by...
    1. stopping drinking
    2. stop smoking (which i am sorry to say have taken up again)
    3. Stopped going clubbing all the time with my friends
    4. not have nice things like the newest computers or gaming systems (pretty much anything a young person would want)

    And several other things that seem to drain the old bank account.
    Meanwhile making cash detailing cars and every now and then doing temp work for various agencies. Now being on the disability pension makes doing temp work a little bit more difficult. (Anyone whom has been on the pension will know what i am talking about)

    This has allowed me to own the cars i have and keep them registered, insured and gassed up.. I know my car list isnt all that lavish, but i am proud of what i have achieved with whats been made available to me.

    Im sorry for blabbering on, but the prior discussion has struck a cord with me and i felt i should share my story. Anyway thanks for listening to my **** lol...

    I do not wish to publicly enclose my illness, but if anyone wishes to take the time and PM me about it, i will gladly share :)

    Bradley
