Seriously though how the hell are some of you being 18-19 and buying your cars, and then buying a 6K blower if mommy and daddy aren't chipping in? When I was 19 I had an awesome paying job for my age and experience, and there is no way in hell I could buy a 30K+ car plus a blower and supporting mods. I see a lot of these post that are like mommy and daddy didn't pay for it I work, when they probably work for mommy and daddy raking leaves, and such. Question did you buy the so called "toys" you sold to buy your blower, or mommy and daddy?
Anyways congrats on the blower you will enjoy it! Don't lie to us and say you wont use it on the street, I was 19 once I know better lol Main thing is be safe!

It is very possibly to afford certain cars that age. I lived at home with my parents when I was 16, but, had a brand new E46 M3 and chipped in $600 for
"rent" if you willl.
Granted, the OP still lives at home with his parents so he has no real life expenses (Car Payment, Car insurance, Possibly a phone bill) His parents most likely supply the groceries, pay the rent/mortgage, etc. If you have 1K or so of funds, you can afford a car.
Not sure what the OP does, but, if he had his own house and other expenses at that age, unless he is making 60K+ a year, he most likely will not be able to afford a 30K+ Car and a 6K+ Blower.
OP - Be safe about it. You are yet young and your age will show when you sit in a car with over 550HP. Enjoy the new found power.
