money is MUCHHHH easier to stockpile when you're living at home with minimal expenses. re-focus for the long run and pick-up something fun to drive. why not consider an FRS or BRZ? you'll get the same thrill going through the twisties just minus the luxury aspect and some power.

All this is fine n dandy. Here's another perspective...when I was 19 in 1999, I had a fairly high income and the markets were red hot. I wanted to buy a brand new E39 M5 as they were about to come out, but I figured it would be irresponsible to buy a $85K car at 19. I could have afforded it with a $50K down-payment and slight life-style adjustments monthly for the payment...but I did the respnsible thing and listened to my parents. What happened to that $50K I would have tied up in the car? It got pissed away in the tech wreck. I lost it
all. If I had bought the car I would have still held a portion of that.
