Forget about getting a nice car now. Nice cars are, at the end of the day, just cars.
Do what everybody already said regarding education, saving/investing, living within your means, and getting the basics first: Having your own place to live.
I find it ridiculously funny when somebody will live with their parents just so they can own a baller car. Cool for some but a good example of how priorities are skewed.
Nice cars WILL always be around when you are finally set up and can comfortably afford one.

Here's something to stick in your head - if you make $20k a year, you are in the global top 1% of earners. What we call poverty wages in the US would have you living well almost anywhere else in the world. Be smart with how you spend and save. A little can go a very long way, it just depends on where you are and what you are willing to do.

Hey guys, i've been reading this forum for a year already, not because i have a IS-F, but my cousin has an IS-F and it's really amazing to sit in it/drive it, and get jealous looks from people everywhere
, i always come here to help my cousin on his build and fixes, Was even hoping to get one. I am 17 years old and have a 2011 Mustang 5.0, pretty content with it (Haha even beat my cousin's IS-F in quarter mile and 0-60 races), and not to troll with you guys at all. But after reading this fourm as compared to the Mustang forums, i notice that you guys have alot of potentials to go towards buying the GT-R route, like Danny from the forums
. As mentioned before, i m still in school, high school to be exact. I would greatly appreciate you guys for some guidance/tips/life routes you would give to me in pursuing this route; about to go to college after next summer, going up to a new step of challanges, cause selling stuff on craigslist is not gonna make me serious money, getting tired of it, and the stupid scammers out there
.
All help would be sincerely appreciated thanks guys

Most importantly: remember to start networking on your first day. Each person you meet and the relationships you create "will" impact you in the future. Be excellent to people, and they will be excellent to you.
Last but not least - have fun. Have lot's of sex; it's college. Guys and girls are banging each other right and left - just wear a condom.
If you're a girl, there is no double standard - you can do it just as much as guys can

In any case, very good posts by most. Some things really never change. I remember asking similar questions when I was young and getting similar answers. It's all good.

Life isn't about stuff. Not cars, not houses, not jobs, not "girls" - not anything that seems important at 17. Life is a series of moments all strung together. The goal is to have more good ones than bad ones when the moments stop and one day they surely will stop for you. There are many ways for this to happen. Choose to find value in your relationships with others, and I mean real value, not cash value. Any monkey can climb a tree and pull down the dollars, you just have to be motivated, persistent, and fearless of what others call failure.
Don't do what everyone else is doing if you want more from life than they do. The first word in following the crowd or following fashion is following. It's not leading.
Choose to do something you are passionate about. It will make a lot more good moments than bad ones and you'll meet people who share your passion and appreciate what you do too.
Last but not least, it sounds really simple, but its undeniably true; the more people positively impacted by the decisions you make, the more money you'll find in your pocket.
I just recently celebrated my 32 anniversary of my 21st birthday. It was a LOT better than my 21st birthday was.
Never, ever, ever stop trying.

Wow. Could not agree more. Very well said.
