Default What do you do for living

Hi!

I¨d like to know how did u get money for those awesome cars. Dad bought them? Lotto? I'm really intrested to know!

I live in Finland, where cars are unbeliveable expensive:
For instance:
MB E 55 AMG A 148 000 €
Typical incomes of a engineer is 3000€ (which is quite good here) so it takes at least 50 years to get that amount of money...
SLR McLaren 700 000€...233years, uh can't wait that long
MB C 320 58 500€... 20years

I dont have car yet but maybe next summer ill hopefully buy BMW 325 '91 which is about 10 000€

well I should have thought of that before I went to study informatics. You don't have a clue how the girls are at my school. There are maybe 15% girls and the ones that we have are ... well ugly :cry: except maybe 4 of them... so not much really.

A friend of mine studied for kinder garden teacher for one year... If you want to dig up a chick that's the way to do it There were 231 students at the first year if I'm not wrong and there were only 7 guys Me and my friends spend some hours looking around at that school, just for fun we went there after we went to the pub but they kept throwing us out

I see you're also from Belgium, I'm a student carmechanics in Brussels. Our whole school has 190 students, 187 of them are boys and ofcourse the 3 other human beings are supposed to be girls, but they are ugly as hell!
This was a course of three years. I'm in my last year now and next year I'm going to leuven to become an engineer, girls are much more pretty there!

Hehe, that's even worse then with us Leuven is really cool yes. I often go there to party. Know some friends there, and well some of the female friends there are indeed quite nice The one I really like also studies there.

But IMO the best Belgian student city is Gent. Ok to be honest I never went to Oostende or Antwerp so I can't be sure but believe me on one thing! Gent rocks bigtime... Only went out there twice and it just doesn't matter what day of the week it is, it's allways a day to party. Do you perhaps know "De overpoort" It's a street with 40 pubs, allmost all next to each other. Well it's great there, lots of nice woman and they just are nicer when you go and talk to them. They will never or rarely say: buz of! And some even come to you and try to hide you! And that's quite rare for me ... girls don't do that a lot in Limburg. In Gent I've even had it twice in one evening :shock: and I'm not really a model you know.

EDIT: I'm considering to continue my studies in Gent next year as a informatics engeneer... 2 of my friends allready do that there

I'm studying Automotive Design and our cars are thanks to my parents. My mom owns a preschool, and my dad is the head engineer for quality control at a fabrications company that makes parts for paintball guns and all the way up to airplane parts.
