I'm 18, 19 next month, a sophomore in college. I work as a landscaper and mechanic during the day for a local utility company, I go to class in the afternoon, and I'm a cashier at night at Stop and Shop, which is basically just another supermarket. Needless to say my social life is not thriving at the moment, lol. I've been busting my *** off for a while. I own 3 cars to myself, and pay insurance on the two that I drive, which are my Bronco and my Mustang. I also paid for both of them in cash. I've paid for all the mods on my truck and my car by myself, and as of this moment I have about 3 grand saved up to split between them, though I think most of it is going into the Stang. I'm hoping for a lift kit for my truck for Birthday/Christmas, though I'll end up putting it on and buying the shocks and tires...but it's all good. Not alot of young guys like me have the ability to own two vehicles, though I kinda need the truck cause I certainly can't drive my Mustang in the snow, haha.

im 19 and a junior in college. I got my stang over the summer and worked 65 hours a week in order to make some extra money to but some mods. Now im living at school at a house by the beach and needless to say my progress has slowed greatly. Since i need to pay for school and a house now i dont think that im going to be buying many mods until next summer.

Im 19 and own a 1988 Mustang LX, a 1993 Mustang GT and a 2000 Dodge Intrepid. I work full time at the Hughes Justice Complex for Law & Public Safety in the Attorney Generals Executive Office <---- Sounds good right I do that and I also do some landscaping on the side during the summer and when winter comes around I am a hand shovler for the same guy who I work landscaping with. I am also starting college soon so funds will be dissapearing quickly [:@] I still manage to dump about $250-400 a month into my cars...

I am 20 and an electrician by trade. Joined the Indiana Air National Guard a little over a year ago, and been on active duty status since september of last year. Deployments=nice pay. Going to Purdue as soon as I get back from my deployment, so like all you other college people, my funds will be chopped severely. I haven't bought anything for my mustang really other than a clutch...I spend all my money on my truck.

ok, im 20 and funding 3 fords. 91 gt, 92 f 150 with 38 boggers and tons of other crap and a 01 f 150 that i make payments on. The 92 f 150 i bought for 500$ and it was 2wd and converted it to 4wd and put a new tranny in it and lifted it with spare parts i had lying aroud. the stang i traded my streetbike for, and the f 150 i have for a daily driver. I have been waiting/bussing tables at the same restaraunt since i was 13. Since port a is a tourist town we make alot of money and get to drink on the job!! Oh yea, i also get lots of scholarships, and grants. Mommy is poor, and i am fairly smart!!
