I think college has a big impact for a lot of them, not to mention that most highschoolers who I knew didn't make enough money to pay for a car, even at those prices.

1) Your parents let you purchase an expensive new car at 16? 2) How was/is your college paid for?

If you are 17 now and you can buy a new car on your own, good for you. You claimed you would take your car to track every weekend - how are you going to fund it? Track days are very expensive hobby. Registration fee, tires, fuel, brakes, constant repairs.... Word of advice: you don't need to make up stories to impress anyone, especially those strangers you meet on internet. Just be yourself. Genuine YOU should be impressive. Last edited by jaymsu; 08-22-2015 at 08:46 AM. |

The real issue is wages. 40 years ago, the average family's income was equal to the average price of a home...with only one income.
Now in many cases, the average family income is half of the average price of a home...with two incomes. Basically, the price of goods have increased 4-5 times the amount that wages have increased over the same period, adjusted for inflation. |

My new 77 had no air, no leather or power windows. My pay was 2.85an hour. The ins. was $1072 a year. The stripped Camaro-6 cyl 3 spd was, I believe, $3995!
