Livin in CA, you are paying a lot in taxes. Calculate what you ACTUALLY take home from your 68k. Then subract an estimate of vital expenses every month (rent, food, bills, etc).
You are going realize you only end up with like 25-30k if you're doing well. Do you really want to spend ALL your money from two years of working on a brand new Nismo? Then realize some of that money is going to go to other things like.. you know... going to a movie. Or buying stuff for your GF. Or Fuel. Or literally anything else you want to do. Do you really want to spend ALL of your savings from 3-4 years of working a brand new Nismo? This doesn't even figure how much interest you might pay for the car as well.

You can still have almost exactly what you want... just be smart about it.
