I really don't know what this guy's total financial situation looks like, but at 22...there's no farking way I could have afforded the Z. As a matter of fact, times were tough. They got better every year as I saved my money, though.
There are plenty of fun cars out there that are in a lower price-range. That was why I owned an Si for two and a half years. It made sense at the time. One thing you are sure to regret is a horrible financial decision. It can be a monkey on your back...like a meth addiction.
