I'm actually kind of glad I never got my first new car until I graduated college (although I had a motorcycle in college). Looking back, it's a headache I'm glad I didn't have. I mean now, I have a good job and can easily afford the car, I can afford to buy some stuff for it and I have a good secure place to keep it.
In college I had some beater Integra that I bought for $1000 and it was great because I paid for it in cash and it was already a beater, so I never worried about where it was parked, what it looked like or if I ran it into things. It freed up my time and money for much more important things: buying beer and chasing girls.
