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.


Unfortunately, I work 7 days a week 52 weeks a year, save for Christmas and New Years. I do get what you're saying though. Life's rough and hard. Credit isn't bad just don't really have any, which I hear is worse. I checked my score it's like a 670. I do plan to have such a car in my early 20s. I do thank you for being honest with me though. That's something to admire nowadays.
