Default Resisting temptation..

Ok so my tC is paid off and right around the time I paid it off..I got a promotion. I still live at home (going to school..still lol) and with what I make, which still isn't a lot but considering 90% of my income a month is now totally disposable, I keep getting tempted to trade in the tC for something else lol.

Looking at WRX's, 370z's, genesis coupes, audi a4's, etc..

Not asking people for opinions on these cars but I was just wondering if anyone else feels my pain of temptation and how they deal with it? haha

I know the best choice is to keep the tC because I plan on transferring to a university soon and would rather pay mostly of my own pocket rather than take out loans if possible...but maaannn..so tempting..and I just learned I have a connection to get good discounts on hyundais

anyways..share your pain :D

Turbo the tC and love it all over again. Then save for whatever might come out down the road.

Yep. I have felt your pain many times. Don't know your situation but maybe try pitching in at home since you still live there. You may be already. Anyway resist, save some cash, and don't finance your next one. Nothing is better than writting a check and driving off in a new car (I don't buy used) and getting the title in the mail a week later.

Oh no I have no intention of actually selling lol I love having no car payments and having the extra cash. Already bought myself a new guitar to celebrate.

As far as turboing the tC - not for me..just don't want to deal with it.some days I want to but other days I don't..

but yeah lol not actually realling going to get rid of it..just wondering if others feel my pain in knowing they can afford a much better car (performance, luxury, looks, etc..) but know the logical thing is to not go that route haha

Ultimately I plan on saving money to help put me through school once I finally transfer to a university to get my bachelors..I want to take out as little loans for school as possible..get a job and buy a house

But I still apreciate the input guys lol just not entirely what I was looking for but I hear ya!
