Personally, as a 28 year old man, I don't like to think of it as "school." But essentially that's what it is. The good thing is that the NIH pays for my medical school tuition and gives me a healthy salary on top...So I guess I am being paid to go to school?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to undermine your education -- but, for all intents and purposes, it is a form of education, though a higher education.

P.s. did you go through a quarter life crisis? haha, I feel as though I'm an old man as each day passes me by...and I'm 26. I feel like I need to hit my goal of home/condo ownership soon. And, I need that six figure salary before 30.

Haha, same here. Bought a home, got married, bought first new nice car...check, check, and check. I guess I'm a mature old man...but always feel like a kid at heart!
As far as getting paid by 30...no way its gonna happen for me. But at least I don't have $200,000 in med school debt!
So where did you spdandpwr (others too) learn about modding cars?

I was into cars since hot wheels. When I was a little kid I would see people drive around with modded cars and I was like I want that and it then ballooned to the obsession that I have now.

TGIF everyone! Question for everyone for over the weekend. If money was not a factor what car would you be driving. Thanks to 00TL-P3.2 for the idea...
...and whats with everyone being so modest about his/her position in life? Everyone is doing great things in his/her life no matter the job...

Now if you mean, what OTHER car would I have in my garage...probably a Porsche Boxster S, 6MT. That, in my mind, is the most extravagant car I could see myself possibly affording some day.
#102
I am the type of guy that would perfer to drive a normal car, that I made fancy instead of a porsche or ferrari. For example, the smart car that had the 1000cc motor strapped in the passenger seat and converted to RWD.
I got Married, Bought a House, then the ILX all in about 3 months time . Time to give my credit report time to cool down.

I'm not excited for sandy and the subsequent affects it will have. I'm going to miss out on pay because of Sandy
#104
^^^ Sandy is what keeps me employed....that being said, I always hope no one gets hurt because of a storm.

my brother needed a car so I gave him the infiniti (which originally replaced my mdx). Biggest mistake of my life is letting him take the car. Its now over miles and he trashed the thing and he lets his gf drive it...ugh, family ftl

On the topic of the infiniti. It's not as fun to zip around in (feels very heavy), but it's got way more luxury and features than even my mdx did. Infiniti makes some great cars.

Hi all, I'm alive and well post-sandy! Thanks rxj27 for your message! I've finally made it into the office and now I'm trying to plow through 200+ emails
Still have no power either, but I'm happy my home is in-tact.

I saw some posts during my leave, but definitely surprised at the lack of forum participation especially in the wake of SEMA. Those ILX's looked great and, if anything, served to showcase the potential of this platform. I'm glad I picked this car and can't wait to version out my Type-S.

Glad to hear you and your home weathered the storm. It truly was a major disaster in some areas with a lot of work to be accomplished to get life flowing again for many areas. My thoughts are with those who lost so much so quickly and glad to hear you weren't one of them.
