hard work pays off!
school isnt for all! it was for me!
i owned a evo 5 back home before i came here for school!(paid for by rental property)
had to get one here!
guys evo is easy to buy if you have good credit!
or a wife thats love you enough to pay for it! (since i bought her the MDX NAVI she wanted)

i have said it all the time: dont be taken by dealers who have little education that spit high IR's and prices! do your research!

I have worked for AOL since 1996. An EVO is nothing but damn it pays to be lucky. I only wish I had finished school a few years earlier

Go to school....an EVO is hardly worth what you can get in the future with a good education. Once you do a 35K car will seems like peanuts.

I am NOT saying this is you but it is some people here.
That is true I never said it was the smart thing to do. I said if you want something that badly then props to those people working that much. You never know though you may be working 3 jobs to afford a $30k car and maybe one employer is impressed with the work you are doing so he may give you a raise or new position then you might be able to drop one job or both. It could happen.

I totally agree with you.

20 going to school full time, and now working full time for a software development company during summer (I also work during school, not full time though heh). Even though I don't have an evo, I hope that some day I will be able to afford one. I'm really glad to see that a lot of people on here made it without school, but you gotta think about it, only the people that dropped out of school and made it As for me, I'm staying in school for another 3-4 years, trying to get them good grades hehe. ****, my school costs as much as a new evo VIII per year ! I'm glad I got some help in grants and scholarships and I don't have to pay for school that much. Good luck to everyone though !
