Ok, so i'm working on fixing the nissan and getting it sold...still....

when i sell it, i want to get something for both DD and something fun. But the predicament lies within the possibility of going to grad school next september. So...should i buy a cheapo honda, say under $5k and just pay cash for it. good gas and easily sellable. but very boring and no mods other than maybe wheels and a stereo. Or should I get something I want, like a 350z, s2k, or something else in the $20k range and take out a loan? I have the bike, which will probably get sold if i go to New York for grad school. i'm gonna keep it if I go to Cali for grad school.

briansol · 07-15-2008, 05:22 PM

why are you going to grad school?

titan22 · 07-15-2008, 05:24 PM

because i need to enhance my options for making more money. my degree is worthless, i might as well not have a b.a. so i'm trying to enhance my toolbox. finance isn't like tech. you have to have the papers to show what you can do. i'm trying to get to a whole new level of pay and i need to be qualified for it.

briansol · 07-16-2008, 05:13 PM

Mba?

titan22 · 07-16-2008, 06:05 PM

yeah, i want to get into investment banking. compete with the big dogs.

right now i'm too extreme. one part of me wants to have a killer career doing something i love making $300k+. the other part wants to be a bum, living somewhere warm like arizona or cali and riding my bike all day and working a brainless job.

i figure i'll go to school now while i'm young and when i get older, i can decided if i want to keep doing it after i pay off all my debt.

briansol · 07-17-2008, 07:32 PM

bah, just start a hedge fund

nootrac22 · 07-24-2008, 05:50 PM

I say go cheap. If you pay cash for something, then change your mind about school, you can sell it and be done. If you get something more pricy and use a loan to get it, you might have to hold onto it weather you want to or not cause you're upside down on the loan.

titan22 · 07-24-2008, 05:53 PM

i agree with you. i'm looking at getting something like a simple 99/00 civic coupe. something clean with low miles i can drive into the ground. i probably wont lose money on it and can have it for a while. i wont give the "baller" appearance, but at least i'll be comfortable. when i get done with school or get a new job, i'll go out and get something really special. Like the new GTR.

briansol · 07-24-2008, 06:01 PM

i hate you

yeah, but i have to wait 3 years for it. plus i figure by then there wont be a 20% markup on retail. they should have all the bugs worked out of it by then also. and finally, they will have a lot of aftermarket options for it.

haha, zoolander has nothing to do with it. you can get all the rocker/hardcore chicks you want. they wouldn't want anything to do with me.

titan22 · 07-24-2008, 06:29 PM

haha, i'm sure you can. how much do you really go out and TRY?

nootrac22 · 07-24-2008, 06:39 PM

I know you can if you want to. Heck, I almost have a GF now.

titan22 · 07-24-2008, 06:41 PM

how do you "almost" have a gf?

briansol · 07-24-2008, 06:47 PM

it's mostly because i want what i can't have.

nootrac22 · 07-24-2008, 06:49 PM

We have not gone out yet. We were supposed to go out last weekend(me and kyle and here and her son) but my son had a 103.1 degree fever, so I had to cancle. We talk at work, and outside, but we're both busy and have a hard time getting together. We've talked and I know that she is interested (she asked me out I won't ask a woman out at work) and she knows that I am intrested also. We're getting together on saturday it's her sons bday party. Also we are planning something either tuesday or wednesday to get together with out the kids after work. Then us and the kids are going for dinner on the 3rd(it's my bday) at a local surf and turf place, free lobster or steak for me.
