But I quickly paid them back working as a ballroom waiter in a five star hotel. For my second car I blew out the budget and spent $4K. The third car I went nuts on and spent $6K but had no choice as it was being sold at 50% below market value. The local tax authorities sent me a letter saying that they didn't believe I bought for that little and wanted me to sign a sworn statement that I wasn't trying to evade taxes. I had fun in all those cars and I don't think I ever spent more than $500 fixing any single one of them. I used to be smart back then.....

Cars = money pits.
