Well, you seem like you are a car builder then. I'll post my 2 year project first. All modded by my two hands, WorldRacing did the street tuning. Here's a small sample of my custom self-made headlight assembly. Took me 3 months to get everything perfect, and about $1100 in using factory equipment from a Honda S2000 Projector assembly. I'll post updated pics in here of my new cars soon. BTW, nice car assembly line one1. You seem like you would fit into my scheme of friends quite well.

I don't mean to offend you as this is a random guess... but is it possibly a Tiburon?

Haha no. But the car is probably in the general price range. I purchased it when I was 19. It was just around $17,500 after tax and titles. Since 2005, I've probably dropped nearly $10,000 into it. I know I could have spent all that money on a car with much more race driven technology, but this car just seemed to come together so well, and I can't get rid of it after all the work put into it. The wifey isn't happy having 4 cars to the two of us. Haha. One1, post up indicifual pictures of all your rides if you can. I wanna get a looksie!

He's right^. 2005 SSM Scion tC. I have plenty of pictures. So I'll update you guys with specs later. I pretty much have the build summary chronologically placed with updates in parts and pictures as the installs progressed. What I NEED to do is set up a web page. Too Lazy though.

There's no long story to that. If he dropped out of college to buy a hyundai then he wasn't going to make it anyway. That's the code of the road.... those that are smart enough to graduate are smart enough to set their priorities and do so. NO ONE that belongs in college will remove themselves from college over a car.

You definitely have that right one1. I couldn't see dropping out to get a car. Just finish four, or so, years get a job for another few years THEN get a nice car.

One1, do you mind me asking where you are from?
I know the chances are small, but I swear I've seen that older model black beast driving around where I used to live...
P.S. - Nice cars man... if you ever decide you just have too many to take care of, I'm open to donations
