Then there's insurance. Must be high for for someone under 25 to drive a 300hp rwd car.
When I was out of college, I was only making around 36-40k per year and with rent, I couldn't afford a car that was more than around 25-30k without really stretching it. But I never liked living in a dump so rent on 1 bedrooms were anywhere from 1300-1600 where I lived. My first car out of college was a 2000 Celica GT-S (bought new). I really wanted the S2000, but there was no way I could afford it. And leasing was not an option for me as I had a long commute (and loved to drive).
I'm not hating though. I know 15-16 year olds these days getting great jobs in the programming/design fields and doing extremely well at a young age. Wish I was able to have such an early start.

My rent is about 400ish a month 1 room, bills come out to be around 150ish, and the rest is car payment, savings, spending money. Insurance is 600 half a year for me. No tickets.
Single life is good.
