Currently I'm in high school taking college classes so when I graduate I graduate with my High school degree and my Associates degree so I'm either doing a masters in Computer Science and minor finance or doctor but mostly aiming towards computer science since that's my passion but my parents want me to be a doctor
too?

The last name gave it away
That's awesome though man, keep up the good work ethic, be smart about how you spend on your car. Don't start bad habits early with your money or it'll be an extremely slippery slope..

Honestly felt like I was gonna go crazy on the TL because of all the mods available for the car but keeping calm for now unless I see deals pop up

with your scholarly choices, you'll be able to afford cool shit later in life! I promise you that!
I spent so much on my TL that I regret and should have used the money for better things!!
That's probably where I'm going with this.
Dont make the same mistakes I have.

so, I bought the TL when I was 23! I'm 30 now!
I bought a six speed TL at 31k miles! at 35k miles, I had to replace the clutch! that was like a few grand.
since I have a six MT TL, it's quicker than all the automatic TL's, so I ran with it and wanted more power!!
bought a Jpipe for my first mod!
I then wanted more power and bought PCD's!
I then did suspension upgrades like Koni yellows and aspec springs..
and the progress RSB.
fast forward a couple years later, I needed tires and a buddy was selling his wheels. bought them, only to realize that one of my shocks were bad and made the tire rub against fender.
then bought coilovers.
and pretty much how she sits today.
I wrecked twice, friend blew the motor once, and she still is the love of my life

We have our fair share of good pho though. I had some damn good pho in TX when I visited though.. The broth was extra rich and the quality of the beef was amazing
