You're about dumb af my friend. Let me give you $500k a year when your 18 years old and tell me that you aren't going to treat yourself to a nice car? Hell you don't even have to be 18 and make that much money to want to spend your money like that. Also, no expenses as he is living at home and all of his traveling expenses are paid for by Adidas. So, no, there is not any immaturity showing, just your ignorance and pure jealousy.

He's probably making between a fifth and a tenth of that right now. So no.

With runners? Nope. The companies don't give them pro models so there's no way to tie sales to any individual.

Now look at basketball and skateboarding and your can bet your ass that people buy shoes specifically because of the name of the professional who "designed" them.

Lexus cars are very reliable and make good investments. They aren't flashy. They aren't fast cars by today's standards. He made a good choice.

"You're dumb af"

And "when YOUR 18"

Nice retard-work, there.

Man, you beat me to it. Beautiful irony at work in that post.

So much for the car. What has he done racing lately?

His quote is correct.

moran.

i am anti moran and i am so stupid that i have to resort to insults to get my point across.

I'm pretty sure that in addition to his base salary, Drew is getting his undergraduate degree paid for at any university of his choosing.

He will likely wait to see where his gf goes to school. His gf is hot. He has a nice car and a hot gf.

How is the life of a young pro runner? Does it allow him to take college courses or is it too time-regimented for that?

Too regimented? Are you crazy. At most, you could come up with 3 hours of running stuff to do. At most. I'm serious.

No one runs for even 2 hours a day. Some days you might do weights. Others you might get a massage.

He's got plenty of time to go to school.

And of course he's making big time money.

Hunter's latest instagram post shows him driving the Lexus RC F, which is a $70,000 car. I think this sheds some light on how much his contract is worth. Discus.

That's a great car. I bought one for my son after he passed his permit test.

Complacency? Talented youth should be looking forward towards their future.

Luxurious queens like Hunter, become the hunted, for zealous politicos like Hillary who'll bring back the draft.

Isn't best case scenario that Hunter pans out like Efraimson - really good runner but not an Olympian?

It's going to be an interesting journey, but I wonder how long it takes for him to move up in distance or if Tinman allows him to maintain at the 3:35 level for 1500m until 2020.

"Pans out like Efraimson" = being highly competitive at the national level at age 18/19??? Wouldn't it be great if Hunter panned out like that. Give each of them some time, sheesh.

And to the people who think Hunter is skipping running in college to make $50k... wake up. Runners, the top ones (or ones with potential to be the top ones) easily make 6 figures annually.

Can we all recognize that he is; 18, already making 6figures (for the next 5yr), with no school loans (or cost of living in college towns)? 6 figures at 18 without any type of loans or expense is like being a millionaire. That $500 a month car loan and $200 in insurance is chump change when he has no other bills being drawn from his pay check... Do these pro contracts come with full benefit packages? Obviously he can stay on his parents health plan until 26, but do they provide 401K's and other perks of that nature?

Nick Willis drives a used ~10+ year old Pontiac Vibe. Kind of silly to spend so much on a car when so little is guaranteed in running.

He didn't just get a Lexus. He got a Lexus RC F. That car pushes over 400hp. That is extremely fast for today's standards, especially as a daily driver.

If it makes you people feel better, he bought a pre-owned Lexus, not a brand new one. His family drives 10-15 year old junkers that are always breaking down. He wanted to break the family tradition.

Was it new? How wealthy was his family? In some wealthy towns, youll see more than a few of those in the HS parking lot.
