It's amazing that people are willing to sacrifice so much to get a set of wheels. Having a car - even a nice one will not change your life. During a job interview, no one ever asked me what kind of car I drove. Sure it's nice to get compliments about your new car, but even that wears thin after a while. In 3 months, it's no longer new and then what? You still have to make the payments and pay the insurance. Then you worry about gas prices and you start looking through the newspapers for the tire sales because you need new rubber. To make matters worse, 2 years later, they introduce a new and improved version of your car. You'd love to change your car, but you have negative equity. Hell, even the girl you got a first date with because she was impressed with your wheels decides she'd rather be with someone who has time for her and not having to work overtime to meet the financial obligation of the car. Get the picture?

Your enjoyment of the car will be that much greater if you don't have to worry about the money aspect. 15 mpg? bid deal. Insurance? no prob. Drop $2,000 for winter tires and wheels? I don't have to think twice. That's when you have fun with a car. My advice, use your money - get an education. Don't want to go to school? Travel. Expand your horizons. Invest in real estate. Whatever. Buy the car when you can really afford it.

Me, I stayed in school. Got a degree. Travelled a bit. Went back to school. Got another degree. Met my wife. She is HOT. She didn't even care I drove a beat up used car for years. I only started getting into fancy cars later. Now my house is paid up. I own another condo. Lots of investmens and driving around in a nice car with a babe next to me.

BTW, my previous post was JMHO. I'm not trying to change anyone's mind here.

The 8 is great.

Just remember that there are lots of things you can do that will serve you well in life. A car just depreciates.

Well, im not joining the army to get a car, and im going to graduate from college. Im going for a buisness degree so Ill be able to afford a car like this and then some. Then ill be over 25 and my insurance will be hella alot cheaper. Im almost to my sophmore year in college. BTW, a new body style of the 8 will be out by then, or close to then.

I joined 4 years ago. Currently I am a USMC officer candidate at the NROTC unit here at the U of Michigan. I'm 22 and will get an officers commission this August. Yes it is amazing that I've made it this far.
I was able to buy my 8 from money I had saved since I was in grade school(yes I've been wanting a sports car all my life) and good starter loan from USAA. I am grateful I did not have to pay for my tutition because of the ROTC scholarship.
In short no car is worth joining the military or dedicating your life in some other way. Those should be two seperate entities. Myself? I joined because I wanted a challenge, to do things other have only dreamed of, see the world, and serve in a profession where others are just as dedicated as myself. Doing all this while supporting my fellow country and fellow man. It just so worked out that I could buy a kick *** sports car and establish my credit rating (with the loan).
If you do decide to join, more power to you, but keep in mind that college degree will only help you, you may just have to wait to realize it.
PM me if you are curious about an officer's program, I'd be glad to help.

I thought about saving up until im 25, invest my money in stalk. Im going into the management program at work and you start out at 30 grand a year. Living in Oklahoma, that is good money.
