$100/day comes out to $25k / yr (gross) assuming standard 5 days/wk, 50 wks / yr. That's barely enough to cover rent and bills, yet you want an originally $40k sports car while having bad credit? This is a bad decision that will leave you with much regret. Even if that's a net, that only puts you at what, $40k / yr? Also, I'm guessing that you live at home since rent would be eating up at least half of that?

It's not that your priorities aren't the norm, it's that you cannot afford a normal load of bills and a sports car (with a $10k+ mod list). It's good to have this kind of thing for a goal, but you're not even close to achieving it yet. If you want a Z and want to be able to afford maintenance, upkeep, mods and track expenses, look at HR 350s. Please don't take this as being unnecessarily harsh, it's just the cold reality of math.
