Good Deal?

I actually got a bright futures scholarship (I live in Florida), and that pays for 75% of my tuition, the rest is being paid by my parents from a fund they've had for years. So only costs are really supplies for school and stuff like that. Both the state college and the university I'm going to aren't more than 10 miles from my house, so there is no point to spend money on an apartment/dorm.

Yes, there is. It's worth paying rent to not live with your parents while in college.

Although I do live at home, I'm NEVER home. I work like 60 a hours a week at the moment between my two jobs, then when I don't, Im usually spending time with my girlfriend. Most of my meals are at eating out/at her house. But I basically put 75% of my paycheck every week towards saving.

that's good! save save save!
i guess if you know how to take care of youself then living at home is ok

Believe me, if I wasn't saving up for anything, I'd move out for college but I just don't feel like having the extra monthly expenses every month when I can stay at home. It helps me out a lot more savings wise. But I put like $500 a week away, so hopefully by the end of this year. I'll be able to walk into a dealership and hand them like 15K/20K for a hefty down payment and get some nice low monthly payments for a 36/42 month loan, instead of having to lease.

Wow, what kind of part time job is this?

Have you tried looking at 350Zs? Or a G35s? I'm sure you could find something with fairly low miles (<65-75k) and less then $15k. Insurance would be less and payments would be around $300 over 4 years.

Either way just keep saving up and just pay up front a good chunk in cash to get the car you want have payments down to where you can afford (or have a payment where your dad thinks you can afford).
