Jon I don't know you well enough to answer these, so...
Do you live alone or with the parents still?
Have a daily driver to get around?
Finished school and have a career position yet?
Saving money is good. The cars you like (and can afford) will be around a while so no hurry to jump back into anything until you have a constant source of cash. There are certainly more important things out there.
Congrats on the sale. I hope it went to a responsible enthusiast.
