3k down on a 45k car? I could not sleep at night if I did that. Maybe it's the way I was raised by my parents but I don't buy something unless I can buy it outright (exception of a house of course). I would much rather wait a year or two and save up the money. I guess there is a benefit of living in the moment and pretending to "have" money. Impresses the neighbours, girls, etc. Sure you can tell me I could die tomorrow and never get to experience these things but I personally can't justify it.

I shake my head when I see a for sale thread with a car with 10k in mods and the seller states he has a loan on the car...
