Okay, I'm 23 and I am contractor and I've built 3 houses. I'm hard working, I've paid for my car, bought it to enjoy it. Came with hard work
I've been dealing with people in aspects saying Im too young to have a car like this.
Or if they don't have it, I shouldn't have one.
I have ego problems because bright red paint. Vert mustang,
70% people I know don't even know I've been building, they think I'm a common carpenter. I don't care to boast. I believe We're not suppose to,
They say comments like they're joking, but really it's just a snide comment

You got yours the old fashioned way - you earned it. Be proud of what you have accomplished and, as difficult as it will be, learn to ignore the stupid and envious people and their rude comments. My hat is off to you. Enjoy that vert.

I wouldn't let comments like that dictate whether you drive it to work or not. You spent your hard earned money on the car, not them. I am not sure how you having this car is any of their concern really... I agree, enjoy it and ignore the idiots...

It's called jealousy...

Hard work definitely pays off and nights like tonight where I enjoyed the top down with heated seats. Yep worth every penny I spent.
If it's jealousy or whatever pogo stick their riding. I try let it pass. And it does, because I know how much work I've done get it.
It's like when someone calls me lazy, I don't get mad because I know I've been working tons.
Btw. Perfect night for the vert

RedGT12, good for you! Ignore those comments. If more young folks worked as hard as you we wouldn't have this entitled mentality that exists right now. Far too many want things for nothing, and put down the hard workers. It's a sad state of affairs.

Lol. Your post reminded me of me. I don't drink either. When I was young, I'd go to the bar with my friends and put aside the amount of money they spent at the bar. That was my mod money. Now, buying girls drinks totally slowed down my modding.

The Wifey , and I own a '13 Mustang GT, a '13 F-150 Platinum, a '07 Vett, and a '67 Camaro. We worked for everything we have, and didn't ask a soul for anything. The chitheads can kiss my rear section.

Couldn't have said it better. Red, I get the same thing at times. Just remember, you did the right thing and deserve the fruits of your labor.

It warms the cockles of my heart to see you enjoying the righteous fruits of your labor.
The only thing that would warm it even more is to know that at 23, you are investing some, too.....
Good on you, sir!

Just kidding. I enjoy my rides too and always have.
I was 27 when I bought my first NEW car in FL for $9,616, just 4 years older than RedGT12.
It was a good choice, and unlike his experience, I received a lot of

David, I bought my '67 Mustang vert when I was 13. In my family, you are an adult at 12, and I went into business for myself, raising cattle. My first 20 I sold, I made a hefty profit through hard work and watching my bottom line, and my father strongly suggested I celebrate my profits by buying this car.
It warms the cockles of my heart to see you enjoying the righteous fruits of your labor.
The only thing that would warm it even more is to know that at 23, you are investing some, too.....
Good on you, sir!
Im saving up for a piece of land..lol and I know the future wife is gonna be an expense. Haha
When I go out with the lady admirers..haha j/k I bring my truck and after a while the mustang comes out. Want to thin out the gold miners..lol On a more serious note
So investing/saving is important. I didn't even want to buy a car at first because the values seem to disappear, but the bank wanted to see some loans before I try buy a property. So I went big and always like what you guys are driving. Can't go wrong there
Life is full of lessons and there's a semi truck load I'm still gonna learn from
