Well guys after going back and forth I've decided to trade my GT in and get an 08 Corvette.
My last day with the car will be sometime next week when I go sign the papers. Im going to miss her but moving on to bigger and SLOWER things. LOL I test drove a few and they much much slower than my car BUT much better every where else other than speed.
Im getting an 08 Victory Red Coupe with standard 6spd and transparent top. Car should be here around first of the year which means I wont be able to drive it for like 3-4 months after I get it.
Any way just thought Id let you guys know and Ill get some pics up when she comes in.
^ youre going to be in debt at like 21? lol

Yea I’m in College, the Shelby is half mine, my dad and I share that, though I drive it more.
I've been working 40+hrs a week during the summer since I was like 13 and working during school 20+hrs a week for quite a few years, so I have some money saved up. My dad has generously helped me out with my Mustang but I’m taking out a $15k loan and should probably have the Corvette paid off by the end of next year. I start working full time again Monday and will be pulling in about 1500 a month.
No other bills to pay?? Damn, must be nice
Damn, what am I doing wrong??? I should quit my job and become a gigolo.
I live at home (free meals, room, utilities, ect) becuse Im not like every other stupid kid I know that feels like at 18 they are an adult and need to move out, then 6 months later moves back home but now in debt.
Like I said I've been saving and have money in stocks and just stashed away for something like this and also for my future. My only are bills gas and cell and my gas is paid through a college account my dad started for me back when I was like 1 day old and my phone I split with my mom because we share minutes, so thats like $25 a month.
Im not a gigolo Im in ****, big difference but I am a gigolo on the side.
Im not hatin
Hell, if ya got the scratch get a Z06
Don't take this the wrong way but I promise you that you will regret this.
Car=depreciating asset. 08 Corvette= super depreciating asset.
I know you say you will have it paid off in a year or whatever but you also say you have spent since you were 13 working and saving. Is it really worth it to you to essentially throw all of that away when you are about to start life on your own within the next few years?
I started working summers when I was 10 and full time when I was 15 and had a ton of money saved up by the time I was about 20 but you will miss it once it is gone trust me. It's the difference between paying your house off at 30 or having a vette and doing it at 45. It's cool that your parents pay for your living expenses and everything but one of these days you will have to be responsible for yourself and trust me that money will come in handy.
But it sounds like you have made up your mind already so have fun.
Like I said I have money in stocks and still will have money in the bank, its not just like Im closing out my bank account to buy this car and Ill have $0 to my name after that.
Also Vettes hold their value pretty well, most 06-07 Vettes around here are still pulling high 30s w/ 10k-20k miles. Im getting mine for 40,500 which is quite a bit under sticker.
If I were you I would get a used Z06. I see them for sale for around 28, 29k.

Wait, hold the phone! What are you parents donating like $20,000 to your car? Even if you put ~$20k down on a $40k car, you're payments will be ~$1,600+ a month if you plan to pay it off in a year.
$1,500/mo * 12 = 18,000... so basically you are going to dump every penny you make into your car? How will you afford insurance? Gas? Maintenance?
Only reason I ask is I looked into selling the stang and getting a C6 and I make a lot more than that a month and there was no logical way I could have the car paid off in a year and yes, i live at home. Maybe I just go out too much... lol
Regardless, bad ass car! Good luck with it bro!
