I actually graduate in a month, and start my new job in about a month and a half. Right now I just walk to class - living .1 miles from campus FTW

I won't be buying my new car until spring (or winter if I go with the Evo). I have about 10k in savings right now, my SI is worth about 15-16k as a trade-in, and the parts I could sell off of it would probably fetch 8-10k. Looking at my finances now, I could actually afford a fairly nice 'beater'. I might just look into a base impreza or something along those lines for winter.

And yeah, I realize it's ridiculous for a 22-23 year old to be looking at a nismo 370z, but this is what happens when you stupidly in-debt yourself at 17 with a brand new Civic SI - you set stupidly high standards for yourself

Thankfully, through a part-time job, awesome scholarship, and help from family, I'm graduating debt-free from college with a fair amount of assets, so it's time to splurge a bit.
