Usually an outrageously high number that is well into the tens of thousands. There goes that performance car they were hoping to get

But wait a minute, every job they apply to requires 3+ years of experience in the field. Thus scaring them off, from even applying for the job. "Screw that performance car, I better get something that will get me by."

Not to mention the insurance costs, plates, and registration for the millennials generation is absolutely a crock of shit.

Then if they have a girlfriend. FORGETTABOUTIT......


It's not that they are not into performance cars. They simply just can't get one when they want to. Then they start having kids, all the sudden they just want a family car, OR something more luxurious for their years of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears...


PS: Not to mention that all of our shit is designed to break after 22 months forcing us to buy that shit again. Back in the day, you bought it once, and you were done...
I sometimes wonder how shocked the Camamro5 membership would be to learn that our average moderator was in their mid-20s when they joined the site staff

Hardly any of us owned a 5th gen when we became mods (in some cases because we were mods before Mar 17th, 2009 ... or because of reasons explained within this thread) ... but at the very least, the enthusiasm was there.
