Hello everyone,

I've been lurking this forum for a little while, and I guess it was about time joined.

I'm only 17 years old, and quite anal when it comes to how my car's appearence is. I've learned quite a bit about detailing from reading posts and such.

My Ride is a 2006 Acura RSX Base model. I'm happy with it.

Hope to learn and share lots about detailing here!

o.o; I never said that my parents bought me my RSX you know.

I've been working since I was 13 just so I could buy a new car one day; no joke. My parents bought me a 05 Honda Civic last year but ended up selling it for money reasons...

How much is an 06 base model RSX?

Mugen_Tech · 12-19-06, 12:16

I bought mine for 20 grand. The MSRP was $22,990

Congrats! I started working when I was 14. I worked for a friend's dad's concrete company. I did mostly breakout and some very minor finish work. I have been working ever since.

With the labor laws at 13 and how much you can work, and what someone from 13-17 gets paid it was merely an assumption. Unless he has a loan of course, then anything is possible. Oh well, anyways...Enjoy the forum, post some pics if you get a chance!

Oh...by the way I've been working since I was 15 and have made good money from the get go...with car payments, cell phone, insurance, gas I just find it hard to believe you can afford a car like that and go to school..Just opinions of course.

Mugen_Tech · 12-19-06, 12:26

Heh.. well my parents do pay the insurance which is killer for this kind of car, and I don't have any other bills (no cell phone or anything...) I work six days a week full time and go to school part time.. trust me it's possible... barely.

I shall post some pictures soon. I haven't taken any recent one's of the car though.

And oh, I do have a loan of course btw.

Exactly what i was thinkin. I mean if we broke it down i doubt he makes enough to afford it. Even if he put down $10K he would still me makin payments close to $250 a month plus insurance which would be more than $250 a month for full coverage at his age. Then add in gas and money to just be a teenager makes it hard to believe. Plus under the age of 18 you can only work 18 hours a week. Ive been around awhile and i have yet to meet a person under the age of 25 who has bought a brand new car.
