And to be honest, I think my RS is a better use of money than all the weed and booze I spent it on the first couple years of school... At least my car keeps me motivated, instead of taking away my motivation.

I'm not against dropping a few hundred bucks a year on a hobby. I'm just cautioning about getting overly wrapped up in it, and getting into debt. And wanted to remind everyone that when you start modding, sometimes it leads to big unplanned expenses... like having to replace an engine or transmission... when all you were planning on doing were some light mods (that's how I ended up building a racecar instead of just having a WRX w/ a 6MT swap and a turbo).

Dropping some money on a tune is better than continuing to drive around with issues.

I don't have anything to add that hasn't been said, but I sure as hell know that when I was in school, I didn't think I'd be as poor, tired, and angry seven F*ing years into my career as I am now...

Or $80k upside down in my mortgage, thanks to the mortgage bubble.
