Well, by now, it's Monday and you're probably already doing donuts in a $53k car with a temp tag in the window, but I'll jump on the "Do as I say, not as I did" bandwagon. I'm almost 40. Bought ONE new car in my lifetime, and that was the Jeep Wrangler I got ten years ago, a year after I started my career. LOVE it, but still wishing I'd gone used. NEVER buying a new car again (Unless, of course, I become a zillionaire and can sneeze money). You're already miles ahead of where I was at 18, when I just HAD to have a Camaro. That car is looooooong gone and never got to be what I wanted it to.
You're making good bank now, but how long is it going to last? Any college or schooling to back all this up so you can hold onto that awesome job and do even better later on, and not have someone else get a promotion over you?
Daily driving ANY performance car in the winter is AZZ. You've already got a performance car. Either:
1. Get rid of the Fox body and have ONE performance car if you've absolutely got to have this 2012, then get a decent, cheap DD so you can hold onto SOME of its value.
2. Stop dreaming so huge, get a decent, cheap DD to beat on and enjoy your Fox body on the nice days (After you get it running properly, of course).
These days, the Jeep is modded enough that it's a BLAST to drive, but I still only do so occasionally as it's a gas pig and not the most practical for everyday use (Especially after a good romp in the woods and it's covered in mud). Just my two brown Abes...
