Just got my wife a 2005 Accord Hybrid.
What do you do for Microsoft?

Just wondering, What do 3G A-ziners do for a living?
to start it off...
im a full time student working about 30hours a week. Sadly i still live at home but its great to be bills-free besides the fact that i have to pay for my insurance and car payments.
working at a local call center making $12/hr. Pretty easy job for a full time student.

Good to see that most TL owners are doing well. Makes me feel even better about owning one.

All good in Virginia
I am a 26 year old mother of two (4 &1) and married. I am a Microsoft certified Network Engineer in the Wash. D.C. metro area, I make about 86k a year including quarterly bonuses of 8% of my salary and my husband is a program manger. He makes about 95k not including bonuses. We own our home and I wanted something "grown ans sexy" for myself that made a statement that I'm a good girl, but can be really "bad". Payments aren't too bad and the mortgage is about 2800 after refinancing, so my 500 is well spent. And my daughter loves it.

I work as an Account Executive for one of the largest commercial vehicle leasing companies. We lease cars & trucks to companies throughout the US & Canada, with a sister company in Europe / Mexico. I love it - it's always great to have a job in an industry that is also a hobby

Fellow UCF bean counter here as well!! Smart move on going big 4 (or even second tier). Just a warning: your first busy season will suck. But it does pay off. Might not want to take grad courses between Jan and May. I was in auditing for 6 years (PwC and BDO). I'm now Controller of a real estate financing company for publicly traded home builers. Currently make $100K+, not counting my wife whose cash flow is pretty much gravy at this point.
I plunked down $20K and my payments are around $330, but I pay about $500 month.

I've got no kids, and my rent is only about $530/mth WITH utilities.

I make about 42k a year as a netowork admin, it;s all good cause my wife makes the mortgage payment and I get the cars. I do feel bad though, I bought the TL to replace my wife's Camry, then I pretty much stole it from her. Terrible, I know.
I noticed that there a ton of IT/Tech people in this thread. Guess the TL is a techhie's kind of car.

having established my empire, the art of trash collection specialist, my ride has been paid in full. LOL it is amazing how some "individuals" elevate themselves to such status as an MD, lawyer, etc. come on now, what would interest you on this forum? i give an "A-" for trying though. have fun and at least try to be honest next time around.
