Chicago is a pricey town.
cool, lots o jobs available there. do you work as a consultant?
how do you like the G35? I was considering it, but heard it gets really poor fuel economy. (feel free to pm me, so we don't further drift from this thread's topic)

carbon bronze tl-s/taupe interior. Im 17, working at circuit city getting paid right about 9$ an hour after tax and what not im tryin to get a job at wachovia bank we'll see how that goes though, and cutting a few lawns now that it's summer it helps pay for the gas which btw is expensive in this car it was like 67$ last time i filled a whole tank, im getting a little help from my dad he's paying the insurance, he paid my first two payments as my first 17th birthday gift and he put his name on the payments which helps cause i have no credit which would have meant a high interest rate. other than that i have no other bills to worry about. the payments are for 60 months at 639$ a month if im not mistaken. so im doing pretty decent im glad i don't have a gf to worry about otherwise i would be in debt out of my mind. though this car i kind of a chick magnet, so u never know.

Its not cause im some spoiled little rich kid, but because I work hard. So thats my explanation to why I got a TL so young

What is your occupation...

I have been retired for nine years! I was born to be retired!!

I bought our 2006 TL new, for cash, in Oct. 2005 and am very pleased with it. In fact, it has not been back to the dealer for a thing yet (knock wood). We traded in our 1997 CL which was the best car I ever owned up to that point.

I expect to keep it for ten years unless something tragic occurs. That should not be a problem since I kept the Cl for nine years and my wife's Integra just passed its tenth anniversary.

I myself aint bringing home enough haha. Im a service station attendant working for the City & County of honolulu, Honolulu police department. I tell you one thing good about my job (other then its security) I get away with alot of tickets. LOL

Mods, If this is out of place just move it.

Most underrated consideration for residency: how much money you can make moonlighting.

No one will tell you about this but it can be life changing.
