How is it irresponsible to get a second job to pay off something you like?. Being irresponsible is buying something you can't afford using a loan or sacrificing something in order to get something.

I have seen people drive evo/sti delivering pizzas and my friends keep telling me about it lol.

There's a kid near me who delivers pizzas in an '09 WRX...

I work two jobs and live with my mother. If I wasn't making a rent payment's worth of school loan payments every month, I might consider an apartment. When my loans are paid off, I will. My mother also doesn't want me to leave because she's single and there would be no one around to take care of the upkeep on the house. She works two jobs also, so we are rarely home at the same time. We live in a really nice $3/4M home right now, so why would I want to move into a shitty apartment right away? I help her with some bills and take care of the upkeep, so the rest of my money can go towards cars.

Annnnd I lease a $53k Audi S4... so suck it! LOL

Nothing wrong with that; a hint of jealousy perhaps?

Street's closed pizza boy!

On the serious, you should really heed any manifold pressure warnings.

Anyone who would be willing to put one of those giant magnetic pizza delivery signs on their brand new FR-S/ BRZ should be shot!

Those WILL scratch the shit out of the roof of the car if both magnets and your car aren't incredibly clean. And the window ones don't fit well on cars without a top door frame.

I delivered in my Celica GT-S years ago and while I enjoyed it for a while I wish I hadnt ever done it. The smell sucks, every extra minute on the road increases the chance of an accident, especially all the local driving, and I can tell you all the in and out makes a noticeable difference in the rate of wear on the car, especially things like seats, doorstops and the clutch/synchros

Delivering pizzas seems like a great job if you love driving the car, but it does get tedious and in the end isn't worth the wear and tear on the vehicle

+1, buy a $2k car to deliver pizzas in; keep the BRZ for the weekends!

I think that the roof panel is aluminum - not magnet able - or, not?

How about because they should use half of that money to help out with the mortgage, utility bills, maintenance and only use half toward a base Civic?

Why is that? My parents are in a financial situation where they are far from needing help from me. I have asked if they need/want any money from me and they say no. I even asked if they were OK with me buying this car or would they prefer me to move out first. I pay everything on my own and live here rent free because I am fortunate enough to be in that situation.

I hate the term but it really seems like a "haters gonna hate" attitude when it comes to people who have parents that give them money or help them in some financial way.

While we are using terms I hate, YOLO

A decent pizza delivery guy usually makes about 15 hr, half of which is cash. They can afford it.

This might have been said already but everytime I wanted to get a second job (usually part-time at minimum wage) after I figured how much I'd be making, it was almost never worth my time.

I just wanted extra money.

I'd say if you want to make extra money (and don't need to work a second job), find a hobby (like photography, or computers) and start from there; charge people for your services.
