agreed. cars are money-pits, whether its maintaining them, or modifying them. always something to do. at the "just turned 18" age, take that money and invest it into a) education, or b) a long-term investment portfolio. i think about how much money i've dumped into my "fun" car and my beater combined, and all i can think about is how much more money i'd be making annually through interest if i had added that to the money i'd invested when i was 18. it would be nearly double the initial investment, plus whatever extra interest that would have gained me.
