Ding!

I had about $12k, spent $4k on a high mileage 944Na with solid mechanicals that had about its current mileage left in it all over.(If it hadn't of been hit, I'd of been driving it 10-15 years from now).

You don't have to spend all availible money on a car. What I did with the other money, is put $5K into a mutual fund - its at $10K now(although I've been steadily adding to it). Eventualy, I'll use that fund ot either buy a house, or a realy nice car down the road.
