Mowed yards on my off days and haul scrap metal.
I was then able to save up to get it down to a payment I could afford.
Never ever regretted any of it.

I had a lot of times I thought to myself if it was worth it but a few good second, third and forth gear pulls made me quickly realize it was paying off. That was my high and I am addicted!

1969 Camaro Z/28
1977 Firebird Trans Am

I bought mine last year at 26. My previous toy was a 96 Trans Am that I bought in high school and built on a $7hr budget. I still have it.

I have owned and own this list of performance cars and age when I first purchased. I think I have had quite a few.

1999 Trans AM LS1 - Age 21 - Wrecked and Parted out after it was paid off almost 5 years later.
2006 GTO - Age 26 Got it right after I got wrecked my TA - Sold because I did like it and I wanted the 2003 Cobra
2003 SVT Cobra - Age - 27 Sold after a body shop guy wrecked my car less than 18 months of ownership
2003 Viper - Age 29 I wanted a corvette but I ended up with a Viper somehow. Sold it 3 years later.
2000 Camaro Z28 - Age 30 - my daily driver
2006 Corvette Z06 Age -33 - my new toy after i sold my viper
