Actually, i put 10K into multiple agressive mutual funds three years ago on the idea that i would wait a while until i found out more about the Z...and back then i had no idea what car i really wanted....well after some ups and downs with the market about a year ago i closed the mutual funds, opened up 6 month CD's so i would touch the money...then after the CD's matured, the next day i bought my Z. So while i waited i let the money work for me a little bit.

I plan to buy a car in the fall or winter of 07. I guess that makes it about 18 months... Still undecided whether it will be a Z or not, but it looks promising.

Difficult to answer. I had saved up about $5,000 as a down payment for my first car when I was 17 to buy a Jetta, then saved up a couple thousand over the years I drove it to trade it in on a Mustang GT. Had problems and filed under the lemon law, took that money and used it on a down payment on a second hand/almost new 04 Z, been happy ever since

Used my combat pay that I saved up in Iraq to buy my Z. You could die anytime, so that was my main reasoning for buying the Z, I could be dead tomorrow. Plus, my 3000gt is still down because of the turbo conversion and I needed another car, lol. I have the rest of my life to worry about money, don't need to worry too much about it now. Plus, the government pays for my school, so its all good.
