New member huge car enthusiast

Hello all, my names Christian I am 18 years old and a huge car enthusiast and my obsession for cars started before I could walk! I'm from connecticut and am currently just wrapping up my first semester of my freshman year in college. The one thing I love more than cars is italian ones, being my whole family is from mellili, sicilia and Ferrari's where always a goal of mine. A little about myself, other than being a huge car enthusiast (favorite marques go Lancia, Ferrari, Alfa, Porsche in that order and I know about as much as someone who doesn't own one could about those cars) I'm a buisness management major with the long time dream if owning my own specialty dealership one day, but besides that fantasy I strive to become a Buisness man if that fantasy never takes flight. I don't know exactly what I want to do because I'm only 18 and it's impossible to tell the future and what it brings, but I often find myself entertaining the idea of being a automotive sales manager but the hours turn me off because nothing is as important as family. As of late I've my goal of owning a Ferrari has become even bigger to me, but I've also been thinking about the very real and fearful (to myself, personally) possibility of never being able to own a Ferrari. Weirdly enough, the last 3 times I had that thought I found myself driving by or next to one like yesterday, when a speciale appeared out of nowhere. Not sure if it's a sign from the big guy upstairs or just coincidence, but either way I do want to own a newer Ferrari one day and not because there expensive or that most people can't afford one but because my love and passion for cars has drawn me to them long as I can remember. Anyways, I've chosen to go to college because a buisness degree to better myself for my future and to find a career, not a "job" that I'll love doing and be successful with and hopefully people will notice! I've wanted to sign up for this forum for at least the last year but was hesitant due to my age, but anyways hope to interact with you all and see your amazing cars! My favorite Ferrari by the way is the 458, favorite car is the lancia delta integrale evoluzione 1.

 

Thank you all for the warm welcoming. I do wanna say I wish I didn't have to put the "Future ferrari owner" bracket in the thread name. I'm very superstitious and feel like I jynxed myself and looked arrogant while doing it. Thought I would share that lol.

 

Thank you especially for your view on my situation. I'm doing my best to get my degree right now and hopefully I'll get it in the time I want it by 3> years

 

Thank you for the kind and inspirational response. I have a very good head on my shoulders at my age and know the importance of my decisions at this age. Mind if I ask you if you went to college? And if you did what did u major in / you do. A 360 at 24 is absolutely amazing! (360 is one of my favorite Ferrari designs)

 

Thank you I will try my hardest!

 

I don't have the money right now to go to that! I'm in Ct but thank you for the kind gesture if I was closer I would go. I know some people on this forum have alot of money because they're fully employed and some who may be around my age get every penny handed to them, but I'm not that type of 18 year old or college student. I've worked for what I want, and when I bought my first car I put forward half with my own hard earned money. I would love to go, but for me it's just wasting cash.

 

I appreciate your response, but I'm looking for people to respond who are on this forum and own or have owned ferraris and worked there way to them like most do. I rarely seek advice from a college student, and buying a old porsche or bmw usually doesn't turn a profit with just spare cash (each person has a different definition). Being in college I'm sure you know it isn't easy to work and earn money due to a tight schedule (I still put it 25-30 hrs a week) and being I don't take handouts it isn't too easy to buy a "old porsche or bmw" unless it's a 944 or 325is which is nearly impossible to turn a profit on. If someone was to buy me a old e30 m3 I would love to clean it up and make it go from project to showcar, but I don't Take any handouts

 

And what Porsche's do you have under your belt I would love to know? Also you must have a really good job or internship to have bought yourself two Porsche's! I would love to know some tips on how you landed those positions

 

The neighbor of my family beach house has an all original 928 he bought new with under 10k on it from what I've been told. It looks showroom fresh. I try to keep my eyes peeled for a post 87 944 to fix up and keep for myself. I have a feeling they are going to skyrocket in value soon. Funny you say you detail cars, I do that on the side as well lol. Must be a car enthusiast trait
