Imagine that.
Still, couldn't you have thought of that before you handed over $70.000, or were you just dying to contribute to California's energy shortage?

Somehow I doubt that he paid 70K unless he really is a filthy rich student. Or perhaps he mistook the M5 for something else...

Hell, it was my first car and I was asked to pick something out... so I chose that one. At least now I know that I am not ready for a BMW, especially an M5. I'd rather stick to a Corolla and look like the rest of the crowd than stick out like a sore thumb and say to people "Look at me... I'm ready to be carjacked!!!"

My first car was a '86 Chevy Cavalier. And I didn't get to pick it out. My great granda had her license taken away, so I got her car. And I still had to pay for it. Pleh.

The only difference between Liz's story and mine is that I didn't have to pay for it.

It's not so much that, as the fact that your parents said "yes".
My first car was a Vauxhall Nova, from god knows what year. It was shit. It broke down. The engine caught fire. I am poor.

No, but thank you for pointing out I can see it that way.

For some reason, all the gay 20-somethings I know are rich. Rich as Indians. I blame genetics, or something.

Of course they are rich. They haven't got girlfriends to ruin their bank-account...

"I am poor."
Sure you are, mister "I write Half-Life 2 walkthroughs for a living and am a bigshot game reviewer for PC Format magazine". Sure you are.

Plus, I could have gone to EA in Surrey and played Battlefield 2 and had lunch today, but I didn't because I couldn't afford it and had work. Boo.
Also, I would have to write roughly 48 Half-life 2 walkthoughs in order to afford a BMW.

Nowadays 4-Star is called LRP, Lead Replacement Petrol. Don't seem to see it much on gas station forecourts these days, anyway. Nor do I see much Super Unleaded. All I know about it is that, unlike normal unleaded, you can put it in a 4-star enginned car. Because I did just that once, one Christmas Day (1997 I think) when I was feeling a bit frazzled.
