How My $60000 Car Loan Financially Ruined Me | Story Time With Omni

- Story time! I'm going to get a little personal here and speak openly about my financial struggles throughout the last five or so years. Please understand I had to greatly condense this video; therefore, I intentionally left out many details as I strictly wanted to focus on my car purchases.
My motivation for creating this video was to address the long standing belief that every person with a 'nice' car(s) is doing really well for themselves. I can almost guarantee you that most people with 'nice' cars aren't as well off as they'd like to project themselves to be. This is my story.

I got one of the strangest pieces of advice awhile back in high school at a car meet this guy with a SnakeSkin Green Viper told me,"Remember that there will always be a faster, bigger, stronger, more expensive, better etc. insert[thing] in your life, so when it comes to cars just get something that makes you happy and you want and afford, don't worry about what others say or think because at the end of the day you'll be the one paying for it all." The older I get the more that rings true
100% 👍
For sure. Say what you will about my old ass 08 camry se, but I actually like how it looks and it's been reliable for me. Once I get the money I'm stepping up my game to lexus is350. If money wasn't an issue I'd get a gtr

Young guys need to learn this lesson. Quality of life > Looking rich.
Ha. Kinda impossible when people are
brainwashed by social media and social pressured to be socially accepted. Social social social.
Or buy a couple year old used car in cash if you really want it
Being rich > looking rich
@@MouseCIick has nothing to do with social media. People have been trying to show off to feed their ego since before social media and the internet.
@@AtomicMushroomz True. But I feel like social media has been amplifying the normalization of it on the impressionable people who don't know any better, especially the younger generations. Everyone wants to be a RUclipsr and Tik Toker or "influencer" nowadays.
Even though Jake Paul is trash, people still keep watching and support his crap. There is a guy called c6_zaach. He allegedly killed his neighbor for clout or something. He flexes his c6 I am guessing and 350z. Calling people Karen when he is in the wrong and people are supporting his toxic ass behavior. He continues this because he wants to trend on social media again. And most people want to watch drama and violence.
I learned this same lesson in my 20’s... i rather BE financially well off than LOOK financially well off.
As Dave Ramsey says: “This car owns you, you don’t own it”
He speaks the truth. having a more economic but reliable car is always a better investment
Thank gosh I still have my handed down 99 accord from my parents. Because the first sports car I bought was an 87 Fc Rx7.
as soon as he said debt free in the vid, i couldn’t think about anything but Dave Ramsey lmao
Dave says that as he drives away in his spanky Ford Raptor.
@@AStanton1966 at least fords are more reliable than a GMC or Chrysler/Mopar. But I get your point, raptors are not cheap lol.
The issues here are:
You didn’t get help before buying the mustang
You spend money in mods for a V6 mustang
You cared about other people’s opinion
Another one: Because he bought a V6 Mustang
I agree with you
Bingo!
@@malikw222 imagine an inline 4 mustang
All you v6 Mustang and ecoboost mustang haters...are proving his point...how the car community can be so toxic. 🤦
Mistake number one was trying to fit in. We live, we learn and we grow.
Yup. 5 years later, I know better now. 👍
@@OmniRider I learned it right after I got my s5
So u just kept restarting payments right
ehh, except the fact that looks money status really is the root to your opportunities in life
fitting in is part of life....i want to see you walking around with underwear on your head and see how u feel not fitting in.
There is nothign wrong with buying a car that has that EGO boost aspect to it. But, I would agree that you shouldnt buy the car only for the EGO boost... which I think might be for most v6 mustang owners :P actually...i do hear the ECO boost is good very good.
You ain’t a man till you stop chasing your “friends”
It’s okay bro. I’m 26 and have made many financial mistakes. Live and learn
Thanks man. I’m 26 as well and I wish I could slap my 21 year old self.

@@OmniRider I'm 27 with an engineering degree yet I drive around in a $3000 2005 v6 toyota camry, oh and I also have less than $1000 in my bank account.
Jay-Z said in an interview “you can't afford something unless you can buy it twice“
Same strategy I use for buying cars. Always pay cash.
30k is my max not much fast cars
@@benben6054 In the used market you can get plenty of speedier cars but definitely nothing new for that low of a budget. The best you could get would be a track focused but low powered car like a Miata, BRZ/86 or maybe a 4 cylinder or V6 pony car. 4 banger and V6 Camaros are actually track weapons due to less weight than the V8 ones, but you'd get made fun of for owning it as what happened with Omni's V6 Mustang.
@@private6549 Highly disagree. Most people buying a car NEED the car for medical purposes, work or family. You 100% DO NOT need to have 7k in the bank and straight up buy a car for 7k. Taking a small loan nowa days is way better since the interest rates are very low. Invest the money in realestate, stocks, gold or what ever you fancy. This mentally of being able to buy something outright isnt gonna get you anywhere. Just think about your job, your family, your hosehold and the maintenance of the car before you buy it. This part "And NEVER buy a car if you can't pay for the whole thing in cash and still have plenty of money left over" is just straight up unrealistic. Most normal people cant just straight up buy a car and have money left over, because not everyone has parental support. Buy within your means, maintaing your savings and make sure your loan isnt too high, but saying you have to be able to buy it outright is just bs.
@@benben6054 You can get a pretty decent daily for 30k I got my my GTI for 25k, sure it's not a M3 but it a nice car.
Life tip: don’t go to car meets.
I went to a car meet 3wks ago and got 3 tickets in the mail, 1 court summons. When it got shut down, there was one cop with a clipboard at one exit “writing plates”, but I thought he was bluffing. Guess not.

@@cartiershades3392 what the hell?? I would cry lol. That blowss dude
1st time buyer mistake. I did the same as well coincidentally going on 5 years ago in summer 2016. I Lost my interest in cars as I was in school and jumping into my career. Went to my first car show with friends, found out that Skyline GTRs are legal and literally bought the first one i can find ( I didn't even know how to drive a manual , my friend had to drive it home). A clapped out overpriced white one for 18k ( In retrospect for 18k back then, Skyline GTRs should be in better condition) . It was in bad condition despite having some fun road trips in it. I sunk in 3k on buying replacement parts to get it back on the road. Luckily i only had to spend 600$ at my friends shop. Starting in 2017, Now doing actual research on the vehicle, finding out all of this was a money pit. I put it up for sale. Me loving Gran Turismo and since this is my dream car I will get another one but this time do it right and not buy a stateside Skyline. I discovered an exporter in Nagoya Japan who does special orders , have minor work done to it , parts i had them order/ parts I had shipped to them and have it painted before being shipped to the states. I sold the white 32 GTR for way less then i paid for and sunk in at 12k, 6k less than I paid for :( . But months later in August 2017 when the new refreshed one arrived at the ports, I been stress free since. I put in some money in modifications but overall Ive literally spent nothing since it landed besides regular maintenance. Some times you gotta take a L to learn and get better in life. Especially when it comes to cars and purchasing them.
I did something similar with my first car but not nearly to the degree $$ wise in which you did, however my second car was also a basket case too.
So much money and time, tons of set backs that I didn't need that prevented me from jumpstarting my life in a correct way.
I know its hard for young guys to face the reality of buying a 'boring' car, but its worth it. If you're living independently and need reliable transportation, buy cheap and reliable, it will allow you to get to a point of buying a good, fun car, later on.
Also, A friend of mine went out and bought a newer car when he couldn't really afford it, insane interest rate + ins, and I watched it bite him for the entire 5-6 year loan until he totaled it, and before he totaled it, the transmission was on its way out.
I think people get this confused sometimes too. Cheap + Reliable isn't always boring. I always tout old Nissan and old Infiniti (Pre 2003-2006ish) because they're tons of fun and pretty reliable, they'll outrun most of anything in the price range, and they come without the added rice potential of getting a terrible car from say, a Honda, where some high-school kids DIY'd everything.
I learned my lesson in 2018 when I found myself in 48k in car debt lol, I started watching Dave Ramsey and now my only debt is my house, no more credit cards, car loans or student loans. Currently trying to pay off the house aswell lol 😎
credit cards aren’t bad
Lmao no more credit cards
Ramsey is great for the everyday working blue collar person. However, if you want to achieve real success, Ramsey will not guide you correctly. You shouldn't fear debt. Billionaires have billions in debt. You don't grow wealth by being afraid to take risk. Smart risk is one of the best ways to advance in life. You have to get comfortable with debt to succeed in most area's. It is what it is. Debt is a tool to gain wealth, when used improperly however, as a tool to NOT gain wealth, its useless, and that applies for most regular people.
@@xkap they are the worst in terms of interest rate
Did you pay it off or get rid of it?
I feel really bad for how the car community treated you when you were trying to just have fun with your car
That’s why I refuse to go to any car meet, too much ego is involved. You could drive a lambo and people would still hate on you.
Save your money, buy land. That’s how you build wealth, don’t go spending 1k a month on a car just to look cool.
@@angelgjr1999 yep. Everywhere you go bike/car meets, the majority of them are toxic and annoying.
I watch petrolicious videos because I like classics, but the dildos they interview are so stuck up I can’t watch anymore
No this guy was just mad dumb.
@@angelgjr1999 lol thats what my co-worker did. Hope that 1k a month makes him happy
Mistakes happen when a man is young. The quicker a person seeks wisdom, the quicker he gets rich
Man's lost millions of dollars of exponential growth in a ROTH IRA. Missed out on a house before 30 (wasted nearly 20k easily if renting) Lost out on all repairs not on warranty. Lost on insurance BIG. Lost out on valuable time spent working and not hustling to get to that first 100k net worth before 24
This is deep
@@JayAR_YT Milliions? At most a couple hundred thousand. Plus the dude said he was working 2 jobs while going to school. My man wasn’t lazy. The best way to learn is to fail in a lot of cases. Hindsight is 20/20. At least he’s able to admit his failures in his past
@@JayAR_YT You're a bit off the mark. You're forgetting the memories associated with these cars he's had, the journey and experiences with it - also, 59k does not translate to millions of dollars unless he's aged 40years lmao. You seem just as worried about what others think of you as he did, just in a different way.
@@JayAR_YT I just wanted to say that renting is not a waste. Don't listen to the financial experts. Home ownership is extremely expensive. You got repairs, property taxes, and and home insurance costs ten times more than rental insurance. Plus maintaining a lawn will steal your time. I've been a home owner for just over six years, and for me, it's been an expensive mistake. I plan to sell this year and go back to renting.
Dude the issue wasn’t spending 60k, it was that you went to a cars & coffee meet 🤦♂️
With modifications too I’m glad he’s realized the errors of his way
*Lesson to take from this video:* Don’t spend a bunch of $$$ to impress people. The only person you need to compare yourself to is your past self.
Moral of the story: don't give a damn about what people think. Be proud of what you have.
That’s a terrible lesson.
Crap like that is the reason why people get into debt.
@@theafflictionvhs17 what???

This man preaches truth! Back when I finished college I wanted to buy a 7th Gen stingray, but I just kept pushing it off and saving money. Now I'm on my way to buying my second house making over 100k a yr through investments, which now I can finally say I can afford my dream car. Financial stability 1st, then expensive hobbies
Do you invest in real estate?
How do you financially even afford a Stingray after college?
Oh that's right... those huge loan periods
@@isreal194 he just gave a brief break down lol you’re a clown

I love cars but yea that's true the car community of this generation is boojie!!! For example if there driving a Camaro zl1 or Dodge hellcat or anything in upper price range and upper horsepower they will somewhat look down at cheaper vehicles or vehicles with less horsepower
Or they treat u like crap because u have a fast car (zl1, hellcat, gt500) and look young lmao like come on guys make up your minds
Especially with american cars, the circlejerking is insane.
@@cedricmiller4370 it be the people on huge payments too 😂

Thank you for being so honest with your story. It’s easy to flex what you have but it is much harder to tell people what you did wrong and how they can avoid making the same mistake. I respect that.
This is great self reflection. Sounds like the problem wasn't the cars but instead some insecurity in what others think. Glad you are growing as a person and comfortable sharing the story. Thank you!

That’s why I bought a used truck. Paid it off within two yrs. now I can focus on life! Oh look a shiny Harley...
It’s come to a point where no matter what car you’re in, there’s always gonna be someone out there to hate. As a matter of fact, it’s inevitable before it even happens. Glad i got to listen to this kind of story, it reminds me it’s not about impressing others and what they think. It’s about what makes you happy and you get what you like.
one moral of this story: the car community is toxic
Most hype based young ones are, although you can fund good ones. They usually have older dudes that get it.
I don't judge based off of hp and you shouldn't. Judge what someone managed to get for the lowest cost.
I respect the guy that got a 6 year old rt charger for 12000 that was worth 22000 alot more then someone who spends 1000 a month on a lease.
They're all losers. You buy a new BMW and they drive old hondas and try to make fun of you for having "stock wheels" like okay? lmao
@@fahim2797 that sounds hilarious mate
I've always owned shitboxes and never got hate for them at car meets. The trick is to be interesting, and work with what you've got
The Audi TT mk1 for example is a really good community. They usually have older dudes that don’t talk trash about you or your car.
I appreciate how transparent this video is. It's really hard to get the car you want without getting hate or financially ruining yourself nowadays.
Wow I watched this fully without getting bored. Good on you man I see this channel going very far if you open up about the issues most of us feel uncomfortable talking about. It’s like hearing advice from an older brother :)
I love how you put yourself out there on this video. We all make mistakes, and even worse, we let what others think of us affect our lives. Just enjoy yourself and your car, no one else will for you.

Yo you paid 29k for v6 I could've found you hundreds upon hundreds of v-8 mustangs hell I could've found you a zl1 camaro for you around 30k
A new one?
@@trashbandit2449 Buying a car brand new is financially one of the worst things you can do. You're gonna lose thousands just driving it off the lot. Unless it's your dream car and you're gonna keep it forever it's always better to buy used just get it thoroughly inspected before.
@@Slapshot544 definitely. If you're ever selling that car and it's not some rare, going to appreciate car, that would be a horrible choice. I was saying a new one to him saying find a zl1 for 30k (I think). He was probably talking about a fifth gen, and my comment was pretty vague. 30k for a fifth Gen zl1 is still fairly cheap
@@mobent912 my "a new one" question? Yeah it should have. But an old one for that price is still pretty unbelievable. Don't know why I asked that anyway
@@mobent912 I meant unbelievably low for that car. But yeah, I'm guessing we are going to have some heavy inflation happening soon. Too much money floating around and being made because of covid and spending. Fun
I really admire your honesty man, I bet tons of people can learn from this!
Lowkey needed to Hear this
I’m willing to get a Tesla. And Ramen be hittin different, especially if it was a childhood friend.
Owning a Tesla would make sense financially on fuel. Especially the new model 3 for being such a good price
@Beau 300 miles in a Model X from Tesla’s fastest charger costs $25 as opposed to about $60 for the same range for a luxury SUV in California. I believe the battery replacement is covered for 8 years.
If you buy a very early production model, then costs will be high as it was for the Model S guy. But the Model 3 and Y are much simpler cars with lass costs spent for repairs. Features like regenerative breaking make it so you rarely have to change your brakes and the lack of maintenance outside of the AC also reduce repair costs
@Beau most people dont use fast charge tesla stations, its easier and much more cost effective to charge at home overnight for about 9 cent a kw, which translates to about 3 cents a mile, or about a dollar for 30 miles of range, as opposed to current gas prices which give you about 30 miles of range for one gallon, $3.50 a gallon on average, my tesla saves me about 2000 a year on gas.
@Beau I have, electric cars aren’t what they used to be. The next coming years the technology of electric cars will surpass the efficiency and practicality of conventional fuel vehicles. Not saying I don’t enjoy fuel powered vehicles but the way the industry is heading is EV. R&D is going into EV at a lot of auto manufacturers now aside from Tesla.
@@JoshuaVarghese I don't think it's fair to use a heavy v8 luxury suv in the state with the most expensive gas as an example?
Ultimately, what I want is to improve my driving technique.

My definition of a car person is someone that doesn't hate on others for their choices of a car. Going through the automotive industry taught me a lot about some people.
Glad to see you out of a car loan! I was always told to never buy a new car unless the deal is really good (when normally it isn’t) I picked up a 2016 2SS camaro for 30K in 2018 at 21 years old & paid for it all in cash since I didn’t want to deal with monthly payments so I saved up for it. I hope to own a ZL1 one day & with my current financial situation, am able to but I’m satisfied with my SS for now & rather have a house which is what you accomplish (congrats!) & able to rent it out to basically save money & help you pay the mortgage. Life is a lesson & you won’t learn anything without making mistakes. Stay up👍🏻
This is why I’ll more than likely never buy a new car. All of my cars I ever buy will be used because you can still get extremely cool cars for cheap prices and modify them to make them way faster than newer cars.
This is only good if you are willing to learn to work on cars. Then you will have to buy tools spend time be frustrated with your bargain used sports car. But this will develop a love for cars that you wouldn’t have if you just bought everything
My car goes 0-60 In 6 seconds (pretty slow but not too slow). For $6k I could make It maybe Into the 4.3 range but that's only engine mods. I'd still need to do suspension mods. I don't see It being worth It for an older car. But I can see how It can be fun. I considered It. I am getting a newer used car though, I'm tired of the lack of technology In my car. Plus the maintenance Is more on an older car.

2 years ago when I got my license, I had enough saved up for a used v8 2015 camaro. It was my childhood dream car, but I also had 32k in student loans, and insurance was going to be 600$ per month as a new driver. I ended up buying a used miata for 3000 and paid half my loans. Boy am I glad I did, only regret I have is going to a private school and getting into debt to begin with
You still did it the smart way. Grow from your journey and continue on to do better.
I wanna say, I understand you, and congratulations on finally getting your debts turned around. I’m in the same position just not hefty like that. I bought a bmw that I ended up hating, and still own, parts, gas, and insurance kill. Finding out first hand was the best experience especially because I only paid 3k, and at the time I only had 800$. It took me about 9 months to finally get it paid off. 9 months without saving a dollar, stress, and discomfort... I learned a valuable lesson, and I’m glad we’ve got people like you to spread stories like this to save others from digging their own grave. Yes you’re getting paid, but are you saving? Spending doesn’t feel as good as holding a lot of money with endless possibilities.
Last time I was this early, Omni wasn't even known, yet.
Glad we know him now :)
Get something fun and affordable. I bought a 2001 miata for 4500. They are fun and cheap. Used cars are much are better deal. I get jokes on my miata but what ever I like the car deal with it.
@New World Disorder I like to buy cars I like not to impress people out here. I don’t care my car is cheaper and slower. Unless we are racing that stuff matters but daily driving no one cares how fast you are to your average person.

I wish I could get that thought out of my head and be happy about where I am in life right now
And here I am trying to figure out how I can fit a $100 car payment into my budget...
Depends how bad you really want it, shocking how fast you can achieve something out of necessity
McDonald’s hires fast and you can easily make $100 in a day there you make like 600-700 a month it’ll help you make that payment lol
Or make a smaller budget....all you need is phone bill, rent, food, car notes, gas and that's all

I’m starting off with my TSX and appreciate your advice. Your story will help many people.
Honestly, this is a big reason I don’t show myself too much within the car community. There are too many elitists, and more people that want to put you down than be happy for what you personally enjoy. There is no winning, as whatever you have, they always will criticize you for why you don’t have something more powerful/expensive. I’d likely be in a pillory if I put myself out there with an I4 Kia Stinger, especially since it is an automatic, but I just keep to myself and enjoy what I have. They can keep all of the negativity to themselves, I’m good. I’m glad you got out of your hole, it is a truly liberating feeling when you can step back and focus on what makes you happy and not others.
This is a bit of realism I really needed. I'm basically using every little bit of money I currently have to fix my car and buy mods
Bro, been there. It's rough
You know it's a good day when Bladed and Omni upload on the same day.
I happily bought a 2019 Camaro 2.0 4 cyl turbo and I don’t give a damn what others think. It’s a great car
I like this story. It's very real and this happens. I've found myself in those spots before and makes it really hard to move on in life with YOUR life, not one that you use to impress others.
An education in life. True friends, car scene. Jealous people! You create your destiny. Good video
After saving up since high school i bought my first car this summer and i didn't have to take up any loans and hopefully some day i'll buy my dream car... but I'm going to wait until i can afford it and also buying a home comes first 🙃
What's your dream car?
Man you will be waiting a long time if you go about life that way, you only live once... Enjoy your life while you can.
That’s Smart steer clear of debt best as possible it’s not worth it always pay in cash
That’s Smart steer clear of debt best as possible it’s not worth it always pay in cash
Keep thinking like that, house will be an asset and cars only loose value so getting a house first will be a great idea..
This was a great video! Currently in the last year of grad school and really wanting a new car, but this video helped ground me
This was sad. Didn't seen it coming where people just unloaded on you with the negativity, really sucks. Thanks for opening up and being real.
Buy what you love and drive what you buy, don't let other people decide what you buy.
Nobody hates on my Mazda 3
It blends in like Waldo
Helping me stack cash
16 inch wheels means cheap tires, comfortable ride, and no curb rash
Yo i got a mazda 6 with 16s and stacking cash aswell 😂
@Scotty loves Chrysler’s well let me tell you this im from Europe and in my area insurance and road tax on a mustang would cost about 2k a month so ya Bill Gates here I come
Crazy how this pops up in my recommendation as a 22 year old thats freshly outta college lookin to get a new car soon. Think ill just play it smart till im REALLY up later in life 💯
Bro, thank you for sharing your experience. Im in a similar situation but with an '08 mustang v6. The car is nice but has a lot of miles on it and now needs to most likely have the brakes replaced, clutch or transmission checked, and suspension parts replaced too. Im just out of college living on my own with no one else for financial support. The story behind how I ended up with the car is a whole fiasco but long story short: truly consider what favors you do for people & it's ok to say no even if it's family. My family did not guide me into car ownership...much less on how to maintain a vehicle or the costs that come with it. Unfortunately I'm just realizing it now on my own. I'd recommend that you all set your boundaries and do your research. It will save you a huge headache, let you sleep, and keep money in your pocket.
This is why I don’t use social media, only RUclips, use my time raising my kids right to care about what strangers think about me, and not having social media helps:3
Damn I'm gonna go get my Honda Fit detailed now for not ruining me financially
We'll still highly respect you because of the content you make, bro. The car you have makes no difference: let it be a Camaro 1SS or a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta, you're still the same Omni Rider. Don't let the haters get to your head!
Remember that v6 mustang is faster than probably majority of cars at the meets. Also I've never had a bad encounter at a meet and I drive a "Wrong wheel drive" Focus ST. Everybody at the meets in the PNW have been very supportive.
This was recommended right after I was looking at a w204 AMG 😂
Graduated college 2019, and my first ever car i got when i got my first job a few months after graduating was a 2019 civic sport. Beautiful car and low monthly payments!
Refinanced a year later and cut my finance in half! Its nice not being “car poor”
I want a hatchback or an si still affordable but with a little bit more balls
Just got my first job out of college and I was looking at stupid expensive cars. Thankful for this video, definitely copping a used hyundai now.
Man I always wondered about what happened. Good story man keep up. Still love GTIs as well.
I had everything. I bought my GT86 with my life savings. I crashed my car and I have nothing.
If you can’t afford it twice, then you can’t afford it at all. The only thing you should ever take a loan out to buy is a house.
Straight bs. Just because you dont have 10k in your savings doesnt mean you cant afford a 5k used car. House loans are, atleast here in Germany (I cant speak for the US because I dont know the laws) a VERY big money trap which can put you in huge debt. The sidewalk needs to berenwed? Guess what, now you gotta chip in a sh*t ton of money. You didnt plan in enough money for enterior repairation. Now you sit on another loan. House loans are for decades, a car loan not. Even if you made a mistake, you will manage 5-8 years. Your house hase unforseen problems? Guess now you have a problem for the next 30 years. The world isnt black and white. Apply to your own life and dont blindly follow a statement made buy a dude that made millions. Just my 2 cents tho, after finishing school and earning my own money and managing savings.
Yeah
Thank you so much for this fr. Idek if this is a coincidence or not but I was just about to get a mustang gt from the dealership and pay monthly and you just changed my mind. And made me realize that I need to be smarter. I think I’m going to get a used car now thank you!
I appreciate the honesty of your video. I didn't realize the car meet scene was so toxic. But good message, you should never rate your own happiness based on other people's opinions
To think you could’ve just saved 5k back then and bought a used v8 mustang and been satisfied for these years.
Fr!
No he wouldn't be satisfied cuz people would still have made fun of him for having a gt
@@AGNDAHOUSE people will make fun of him for having any mustang model.
@@vargasaidan7366 People will make fun of you for owning a car no matter how unique or powerful it is.
@@AGNDAHOUSE What's wrong with he GT. Planning on seeing one tommorrow.
Muscle cars were my biggest money pit and financial regrets now that I am older and wiser.
Props for being open about this. I bought my dream car recently. A 2005 G35 coupe, 9k cash. I'm so happy.
Good for you man. This hits pretty close to home for me and definitely went through some tough times due to swapping out cars often. That negative will destroy you lol.
Thankfully I'm more into the VIP cars so I got a 2005 LS 430 in keeping forever. Paid off and reliable. I get haters to but they ain't paying my bills.
I almost bought a LS 430 but I opted for something newer however I wanna get me an LS430 soon even if as a second car
Moral of the story: Don’t buy a V6 mustang
Sti isn’t beating a tuned cyclone let alone a boosted one on a stock block 630 wheel. More than what a subi can say and good luck pushing that power on stock internals lmao.
@@ValentinnPR Hey guys look it’s a V6 owner trying to justify buying a V6 by saying IF it was boosted he could beat a 4 cylinder boosted car! 😱
Thanks for sharing man! Wish u nothing but the best.
This is what teachers and parents have been warning us about all our lives, don’t listen to negative peer pressure and accept yourself
