I think you save your money, get through the other high priced events first, make sure the job can support the newly acquired items, your new "hobby" (ie. marriage), and still put money in the savings account. Once that's done, then start saving for an F-body that will be fun to wrench on, drivable, and without costing a lot to fix. A "running project" is one that can be enjoyed while worked on, as long as you have the money and the time to do it.

I speak from experience....
He nailed it. All kinds of crazy expenses that you don't even think about pop up with a new house and mortgage, and then you gotta fill the house with furniture that she finds acceptable, plus even the best home inspections can't predict exactly when something is going to need serious fixin'. Have some money saved up in case of an emergency and then buy a toy. If I had it to do over again, I would.
