Schwinn makes a nice model to get you around campus. Wait until you graduate. Ask them to put that cash in the bank for you and then add it to your graduation present in 4 years. Then go buy whatever the hell is cool then.

I partly agree with Ubetit. I say buy a used car for use in the summer, put the rest of the money in an account and get a new car when you graduate AND get a job. In the summer and when you are home on the weekend or holidays, you have your own car. The insurance is a lot cheaper and would be under the pleasure category, which helps reduce the insurance. The worst thing that can be done to a car is to have it sit around. Things rust, condensations build up, etc. With a used car, well, you really don't care all that much compared to a new car. After you get a job, you now have a nice new reliable automobile that you have either no payment or a low one and you pay your own insurance, maintenance, etc. This way your car is truly your car.

Buy something useful for now. Save the money, invest it, and when you get out of school buy a house and an NSX. Call Snoop and party.

Bought a twin turbo Audi S4 fir my first car last year
Bought a S2000 for my beater/track car in the beginning of this year
Just turned 18...both cars going away, ready for the revolution

No accidents what so ever. I only got to know allot of people outside of school and work, got allot of goodie for great price, good sponsors, a good Team, Got very close to the perfection of shifting techniques, Got to experience a lot of different car behaviors in extreme conditions. Got to be a good driver in all conditions.
Ready for the revolution? Me too.

When and where will it be televised?
