      Guess is has been almost 7 years to the day where I tried to take on a $1000/month payment to get an E90 M3. Specifically this E90 M3:

      Just over 2.5 months into my first job I thought it would be a great idea to get the car I'd been dreaming about since I was a first year at Georgia Tech. It didn't end up working out with me getting that exact E90, but it did work out with me getting an E90 M3 at some point, and by some point, I mean 8 months later.

      It's also wild to think how much has happened in my life since then. Just some small highlights. I've moved five times: Alice -> Corpus Christi -> San Antonio -> Roswell -> Savannah -> Greenville. Changed jobs twice, including an 11-month unemployment stint. Gotten engaged. Bought and paid for two E9X BMWs; E90 M3 and E92 328i.

      Thanksgiving time always reminds me of this car, and not in a bad way. It's pretty much a nonconsequential life event, yet I still think about it.

        +1 for going all in on a serious car when you're super young.

            Didn't realize you had moved that many times. Glad to see you still have the M3 through all of it!

              @beatergt I've moved way too much. This is actually the longest I've been in one place. I'd like to stay, but we'll see what happens with my fiancée after she finishes residency.

                @e90m3 I didn't get the first E46 I went after either. Soon enough though, someone was willing to let a 22 year old child sign up for $836/month on a 5 year old BMW. Jokes on all the people that told me that it was dumb...because I still have it and they have been through at least 4 beigemobiles at this point.

                  @tripper I didn't have enough to put down, and I was about to raid a fund my dad had given me, figured it wasn't the right time.

                      @e90m3 Samsies! I sold my snap on tool box and some other stuff to get the down money. Also worked 3 jobs during most of that time, and was laid off from one in the middle of the loan. There were a few months when I BARELY made it.
