just save up, you don't "need" a s2k or a modded teg now, wait until you're older and in better shape to blow some money on cars. I mean don't not hook up the teg, but don't take out a loan to do it.

It doesn't matter what we say, he's still going to try and mod up the teg. That's just what's on his mind right now, priority number one...and although we all think that's dumb, it's just how it is. I've had that fever before.

If you have had the fever too, remember all these people telling you "hey that's dumb, do this instead. x2 x2" ...yea...it's been said

anyway, i wish you luck with the teg, s2k or school lol

+1. Seriously a horrible financial decision. You may not even have the car 2 years from now but will still be making payments on parts that you put on a car you dont even own for 3 years after that.

IF you have the car fever, and you absolutely have to have something, and are not satisfied with what you have, then get the s2k. But think about expenses when purchase something like that. Only premium fuel. (i think) Much higher insurance than what you drive now. Aftermarket parts for it are most likely more expensive than for your integra as well.

I know it blows goats to see everyone else in a nice car, but just remember that 4 out of 5 of those people are living beyond their means and probably struggle somewhat just to own that car. Id skip the car payment and stick with what you got, save up for a downpayment on a mortgage. You'll be glad you did one day.

Well get back in school and get a part time job. Let that pay for your teg. It feels 10x better knowing you worked hard for it rather than getting a loan and doing it all at once. I promise, I heard the same thing when I asked questiond like this. I truly wish I would have listened.

I had to set the hobby aside , I traded in my Mazda Piece'o'shitege on a nice daily driver automatic Pontiac. I bowed out so I could have a nice car that dose not break on me every 2 months, and get my finances in check for purchasing a house. It was one of the smarter things I have done. Its fun to have a toy car but eventually you realize that a lot of other things are just more important. Affording something can mean a lot more than just being able to come up with the money by any means you can.
