I've heard from a couple bosses that when you're younger you have time an no money, then after college you have money and no time. So I'll enjoy the money now, while making it later haha. I don't take this too far IMO, but I could see how it could get out of control. I live very meagerly during the school year, but I sill make sure I can do something to my car, and drink every now and then. |
I like the part where you assume you'll be able to easily get a high paying engineering job right out of college when there are engineers with 10 years experience getting laid off every day.
I also like the way you believe a modded car won't have higher operating costs. Things break on modded cars that don't break on stock cars. Like motors. Especially if you do a budget job with the mods. I know from experience... 4 motors worth of experience. Now, mine were blowing up at the race track running time trials, so I wouldn't expect you to break stuff as easily as I did... but you should keep in mind that if you're gonna get on the modding bandwagon, you have to expect to pay to play, which means being able to still get to work every day when your motor spins a rod bearing or your tranny turns into a coffee bean grinder.
