    Anybody else college-ish aged?

    I'm only 21, but it SEEMS like most people on here are more...ripe in years lol. Are there any other people on here in their teenage/young adult years of life? Just kinda curious if I'm the only single young adult VX driving empty bank account electrical engineering college student type-o-person around.

    ..."college-ish" doesn't necessarily mean late teens to early twenties; some of us are late bloomers. I for one am 27 and I'm only two years into a four year BSN degree. Though single, relatively young, and empty bank account are definitely all things I can relate well to. Yeah, my dad technically owns my VX.

    Amazingly enough though, we're all very different in age yet we don't have even a slight bit of social disconnect. Not a single person here treats me any differently for my shortcomings or lack of life experience. It's all part of what makes this community the most enjoyable one I've ever been blessed to be a member of.

    I'm 26, 3 years out of college. I bought the VX right out of college when I was still pretty broke. Now that I have a good job I seem to spend all my money on the VX

    That's for sure. I'm on co-op at Kohler Engines right now. It's paying for my VX. But the tranny went 2 weeks after I bought it. 2 weeks after that the flexplate broke and they had to pull the tranny again. Now I'm getting new tires for winter. I feel like I'm never gunna get the VX paid off. It's been a money pit so far lol. I hope I've reached the bottom lol. So what engineering school? Plattville? MSOE? I go to Michigan Tech. I'm behind on the engagement thing, although I want to be there. I've found that girls just suck. Ugh. Really ruined my last several months, this one girl has. Ha! AND she made fun of me and my VX when I got it, until she realized she could nap in the back seats while I drive. She chirped up about it after that lol.

    I feel like I'm just getting started........old enough to have made mistakes and learned from them but young enough to physically still play like a child.

    Think we had this convo before? I'm at Bradley U in Peoria, doing a co-op in Rockford at Hamilton sundstrand (next semester). Don't rush on the engagement thing. rings and weddings are EXPENSIVE... and so are toys with wheels. spent more on that ring than my first two cars. combined. almost as much as the VX. lol but she loves it so its all good.

    Yep thats exactly what I just put on the spare on the back. The rest are 285/50/20. personally I like them better on the 18's too. more rubber. But haven't had them in snow yet. I think they're supposed to be good in it though.
