I was 17 when I got my 2005.5 A8l in 2007. I bought it for 30 grand when its KBB was still somewhere close to like 50? I think. Some guy hated it, wanted to recoup some money.
When I turned 19 in 2009 I sold the 2005.5 A8l for 28 grand, from 19-21 I owned a 2004 Mercedes S500, 08 Cadillac STS4, 09 Challenger SRT8, 2004 BMW 745, 2005 BMW 750 and a BMW 760Li, and last 2005 Maserati Quatroppe. I always was selling and buying a new car constantly. Never finding the perfect car to keep... well..
Except I kept the 09 challenger (amazing car to drive, seriously just raw fun) and 09 Cadillac, (fiance "loves" it somewhat, Good gas and uncle is a cadillac mechanic, so we get good deals)
Then right when I turned 22 I bought a 2006 A8L start of this year. I am now working on selling the challenger and caddy to slim myself down to 2 cars (06 A8L, and some 05-07 A8L W12 when I buy that soon). Then at some point buy either a Rolls Royce Phantom drophead as a third... Or some type of exotic sports car.
I enjoy having a nice summer car to less the miles put on my "work horse" cars.
I still consider myself a new A8L owner as of the 2006 I got the start of this year. I didn't really "own" that 2005.5 too long. Or drive it all that much (like 10k miles?)
TL,DR!!! Hhaha, nice long post of my car history. But I started as a D3 owner as of 17 in 2007. Had a hiatus for a few years and now again am a D3 owner, Soon to hopefully be a D3 owner doubled!

Urban Dictionary:
"3. 'ballin'
Living a life of extreme wealth and flaunting it. Sadly enough, young people from not so wealthy families think its cool to blow off thousands of dollars on jewlry and clothes instead of trying to move out of the ghetto and finding a better way of life.
lil' joe is ballin' wit dat phat gold chain and ice.(too bad he spent all of his momma's hidden stash buying it)."
Oohhhhh, gotcha! I'm 42 and feeling Jake's age...
Mr *******, do you hear the words 'Mitty' and Walter' a lot?
I'm fairly confident being a 'semi-professional' gamer won't run you to a $443K Roller. (that's what we call them where they're made....)
As you owned the Maserati, I'm assuming you had reason to look at the dash. To the right you will have seen a badge that said "Quattroporte', meaning, as I suspect most of us know, four door. Was your badge spelled wrong?
Post up some pics of you with your cars, a great selection to look at, that would be cool....

to K9, I never noticed my phone had auto corrected quattroporte. Do I really need to post pictures of my house, and current cars to prove I am more successful than you at half the age? Or maybe math was just a tad hard for you, When exactly did I say I owned every car all at once? Don't be so passive aggressive next time and I could consider humoring you. Otherwise I have nothing to prove to anyone that is attempting to be insulting out of anger and spite.

By the way, I am glad that you are successful at young age, hoping that you know that nice cars are not only thing in life. I just hope that you have sold one of those .com companies so it is not your dead's money or something way worse.
