I'm not anymore a college student, but during my studies I was dreaming about the Camaro SS which has a 6.2-liter V8. It produces 426 horsepower. If I meditated, now I would change my car for it, too. Now, can anybody suggest a book summary source? I have a project to do...

I mean, technically I'm a college student. I'm about a week and a half away from finishing my masters capstone for my MBA. I'm on my third 6th gen Camaro but, I've had an interesting lineup over the years. I'm also 42 and I don't have to work another day in my life so, there's that. College at this point has just been a personal endeavor.

Congrats man! I am like most here, actually still paying off loans myself. However a good job afforded me the opportunity to snag something I thought wasn’t going to be available for much longer. 26 so basically College aged

Agree concerning the endeavor of college years. My mother is trying to convince my younger sister to apply - she DoesN't want. You'll not believe, but she likes to repair cars (she's a beginner of course). I hope she is going to take my dream of Camaro SS and run away from mother's convictions.

I'm pretty sure a car business will bring her more success than college, or at least increase her chances of success and of being available to buy a 6th gen SS

I suggest the service I use, which helped with an assignment about "Their Eyes Were Watching God" symbols (by Zora Neale Hurston). The themes of wishing and dreaming are developed enough here so teens can take smth useful from this book summary. https://freebooksummary.com/category/their-eyes-were-watching-god-symbols is the site I recommend because it shows shortly and transparently, for example, in this masterpiece, the topics of love and relationships versus independence, inequality and discrimination.

College certainly isn't for everyone. But more times than not a good education will allow you to earn more money than someone who is not educated. Sure, there are exceptions, but those are usually folks who are very driven to succeed or folks that are successful entrepreneurs.

Graduated in 2020 with debt, and less than 1k in my bank account. Got a job in pharma and bought a civic si while paying off my loans. 2 Years later, I got my second Pharma Job, and had my income doubled, let me pay off my loans & Order a brand new M6 2SS from Factory. Took delivery in May, and am looking to buy a house in the next two years when the market cools. It is crazy how fast your life can change, sometimes your goals are more attainable than you think! I lived at home the first year after college and did not go out at all, all my money went towards loans, and then savings. I moved out into an apartment that I could easily afford, instead of splurging for the nicer one that costed more. When I got the new job, I didnt move, and I put 80% of the extra money each month into savings/stocks, and left out 20% for lifestyle improvements (Camaro, Bigger food budget...etc) If you budget EVERYTHING, and see where you are spending, your money goes a lot farther.

19 year old college student here; I'm very fortunate and have had the chance to own a ZL1 1LE. Not going to try and BS everyone about me being a 100% self-made crypto billionaire or anything. Combination of living at home + scholarships + some help from my parents + the ability to have 2 jobs that work with my school schedule has allowed me to attain it. I'm a very lucky guy, and feel humbled to have the opportunity. Mad respect for anybody that can afford cars like a 6th gen SS all on their own, that is amazing.

From what I recall being told by folks who had been behind the curtain, the Trabant was somewhat highly regarded vs. other Eastern European and Soviet offerings.

I appreciate your genuine attitude, as I have a hard time finding someone your age like you. It’s becoming harder and harder to find genuine people in this world, especially someone so young. Sky is the limit, if I had a ZLE at your age in all honestly it would probably be totaled.

Well, I'll have to disagree with them. The Trabant was one of the worst, along with the Polski Fiat, these were literal death traps, starting them was a crapshoot in any weather, plus the Trabant was particularly badly made, also being the cheapest in the entire (meager) selection of available brands and models.

The only relatively good ones were the Lada 2105 and 2106, while the Wartburg, Skoda and maybe the Volga were mostly okay, considering.

To think that a college student can buy a Camaro ZL1 1LE these days is almost unfathomable It's a car that is miles better than top of the line Ferraris and Lamborghinis of my youth.


EDIT: to SammYyYyY, just in case it isn't clear, there is no jealousy here, just wanted to "drive" down memory lane a bit. I'm genuinely amazed and glad for you, congratulations on your purchase and enjoy the mighty beast (responsibly )

Thanks man; at the end of the day, I'm just a regular dude like anyone else. Let's hope that I don't total it! Definitely have my fun in it, but I don't daily it ($1,700 beater is the life ), and try to respect the drive (as Tedward would). Love my ZLE, hope I never have to sell it, but I also hope to keep making the journey upwards (997.2 GT3RS 4.0 and/or 991.2 GT3 6MT here I come)!
