Very good advice. Also consider the fact that even if the car's used, by the time you get to sell it off it will have lost a significant part of its value. Add that to the cost of owning it and driving it and you'll hopefully realize that you'll be fucking yourself sore. Take pound's advice here for using the money and buy a moped for transportation. You may think people would laugh at you now, but a few years down the road you'll be the one laughing at them.
