I was in the same boat. Started working as welder, then a weld inspector. While working went to school and became a RN. It's a good feeling driving a nice car when you come from nothing.

I've also taken some pride in watching my credit score increase as I made good choices over time.

Lovely car, grats!

Just got approved for my first credit card so now I can hopefully start building my credit. Best part I get 1% cash back on all purchases so let the mods roll in lol. OP congratz on the progress you have made in life. Everything you have been through has been a lesson that makes you the unique and wonderful person you are today. You def deserve such a bada$$ car like this.

Granted I'm only 22 but I know what it is like to go through a lot of troubling times.

Congrats, now the only way for you to take advantage of that 1% cash back is to pay off your entire balance each month. Otherwise you just hand it + a lot more right back in interest.
