i got a silvia for my graduation present. it was that or college. i chose the car and i'll pay for college. the government has some good grants that i'm using right now so i figured it would be alot cheaper for me to pay for college then get a car loan

Same way I afforded my Cusco Zero2 coilovers and the rest of my stuff, I starved myself, and spent as little as possible. Luckily I'm a super frugal individual, and I dont have any expensive tastes, other than automotive recreation.
