Not to pass judgement but it's pretty easy to afford a Corvette, Cobat SS Turbo, or pretty much any GM car if you choose to live at home and don't have a wife/family. Personally I would have invensted that kind of money on a new home, especially now in this market. I was driving top end GM cars while living with the folks until I decided to build a new house of my own. I was driving a brand new 96 Trans Am in college and then kept it and PEP'd a 98 Bravada when I graduated and got a job; and lived at home with two vehicles. I almost felt guilty spending the money on two cars when I should have been on my own if I had the money to spend on cars. I remember working with old school GM engineers who got on my crap for having two cars totalling about 50K and being single and living at home. At first I was thinking it's none of their business but now 10 years later and wiser I look back at that advice and they were completely right. I looked like a spoiled brat, fresh out of college, know it all, kid. I mean I was making good money and was wasting it at high end places like 220 in Birmingham and visiting friends in Chicago twice a month, and two vehicles, while living at home? I probably forced my folks to keep a 5 bedroom house they did not need way longer than they needed to. I still am an automotive freak but it's taken a back seat to a house and fiancee, and investments. That's just my opinion so don't take it personal. It's your money...do what you want with it. I have a great relationship with my folks but by 24-25 years old wanted my space. I had college loans to pay off as well so I know about those. Now I have my MBA which the company paid for. I suppose my advice (take it for what it's worth) is to get the bachelor's, move out, work a while, and get the MBA. You almost have to have a MBA as a minimum now in the automotive sector. It's just weird for me...cars don't excite me as much as they used to. I attribute it to working at Milford from 96-05 and just being around cars every day. To each his own....the Vette could hold it's value if you keep it and only use it in the summer. Nice car though.
