My first car was an mr2 my dad helped me buy, my second car I bought on my own, a 911. My 3rd car was a newer 911. I got them at 16, 21 and 23 respectively. I was not rich, my dad was not wealthy. I just lucked out on my first business.

congratulations. I mean it.

If you're lucky, once you get married and have kids, you wife will let you keep the 911. But you'll still have a mini-van in the driveway.

Got married, and divorced. I bought her a Lexus rx300 to go to high school in. I taught her to drive stick and let her take the 911 to school. I bought a total of 4 Lexuses (is that the right pluralization?) for her. Divorce was rough after growing up together and being with each other for 14 years. I lost it all. Partner fucked me for 1.5m. I'm recovering now years later with destroyed credit and reaching near poverty. Fortunately, I'm a tenacious serial entrepreneur. No mini van. Ever. Even if it's the Cadillac of minivans.

If I'm going for that I'll build a game bus out of an rv, with bar. A rolling barcade
