You can look at it this way: if you buy the car and spend some money on improving it, and then decide it's not for you and sell it, then you will have got it out of your system.
You can calculate the purchase price and the improvement budget as a percentage of your net worth to get a bit more perspective.
In my 20's, I bought a '72, and sold it, after about two months. It was a fair chunk of change for me then, but I learned a valuable lesson.
