have you driven the 3000GT? you might find out it's not exactly all that it's cracked up to be. I'm not trying to talk crap about any type of car, or anyones car but i'm just going to use what happened to me as an example. when i was 18 right after i joined the USAF i was looking at using my sign on bonus towards a car. I was looking at a few different things before i finally decided on a WRX and one of them was a Supra. I always wanted one, and thought they were god in car form. Well i finally find one that i liked but when i test drove it i didn't like the way it rode. I liked the flow of the interior but it seemed a little plain to me and i didn't like the position of the seat. The bottom line was that i had these grand visions of how great that car was going to be but when i finally got up close to one i realized i couldn't stand it. I still think they are great cars, but i could probably never own one and drive it on a regular basis. So even though you have your heart set on a 3000GT, if you actually get in one and drive it around you might find out it's not going to be what you thought it was. If you do realize it's what you really want and just can't afford it right now, than save your money. Get something reliable for school and than when you graduate get that dream car that you always wanted.

aznchick: get a wrx. Infact, i have a world rally blue one on sale. If you got an integra, you would just be 1 of a million asian girls who drive integra's. Be different and better, by buying something different....and better...the wrx.
