Buy and sell 🐱🐈 + sell fancy looking plastic with squares and the round things that make ur car turn except I make them no longer round and combine it with said fancy plastic with squares. I also dabble in various noise makers, from the stututu kind, to the pop and bang kind and all matters in between.
My initial quick look of that did not equal cats haha

Everyone is in a different place, with a different history, and comparing yourself to others is a sure way to be miserable.

The only person I should be concerned with being 'better than' is the man I was yesterday. Lastly, one thing we all know, but somehow still refuse to learn, is that money has never guaranteed happiness.
Very accurate for anyone of any income. We all experience the exact same monetary envy of others, and they in-turn experience it as well. Being satisfied in your personal accomplishments will be much more rewarding than chasing the accomplishments of someone else.

IT @ a big 3 oem. Just accepted the same type of role at another oem that aligns more with what I drive currently :)
If you happened to leave the one that starts with an F, you sir made the right decision. I left back in August and haven't looked back. 😂

Practially anyone can get a car loan pretty easily these days. So the real question should be this: Who purchased a Supra and paid cash for it?

I did. Retired for 18 years. Have kept the car stock and dealer serviced so far. Never any issue.

My first thoughts as well! I was previously unaware that Phillip is in the business of expensive horizontal refreshment.

How else would we get such great deals on aftermarket parts?

I thinks it’s silly to conclude across the board that if you make a sub 100k income it’s a bad idea to finance or lease a Supra.

There are too many factors to account for, it really depends on who you are and what you want with your future.

I waited until I knocked off a few career goals, owned a house and had significant investments as well as salary before indulging in a few toys.

Financial considerations were a factor but more importantly I decided that I needed to be hungry and live hungry in the situation I was in with the career goals I had.

So luxury wasn’t conducive to success at the time even though I was more than able to afford some along the way.

Make sure you have the personality to deal with and adapt to poor life decisions and unexpected adversity before stretching yourself with a financial commitment like a Supra.

Meh, owning a sports car in general is a bad decision. Racing one even more so. you only live once- got promoted at Taco Bell so that along with living in my mom's basement I can swing it. I have to feed her cats and mow the lawn every once and a while.

So long as you don’t feed the lawn and mow the cats.

Once AND a while? Technically, that's only twice. Not a bad deal.

😋
for cripes sake i work at Taco Bell... School wasn't my thing. Fingers crossed a race team calls me! But, probably just to make their sandwiches....
