I am only 24 and in the 6 years of my being an adult this is what I would do if I had the option.

Screw the idea of using it as a down payment though, just find somewhere to buy in the current market. It will be cheaper than renting if you find a condo or small house in most areas... and if the market comes back you will be able to sell it for a nice profit or at the least you aren't likely to lose any of the money (compared to renting... that money is gone forever)

If you must get the car get the GT500... much easier to work on.

No you seem just fine.
I would pick the GT500.
The Ferrari is a little ugly IMO.

Okay what is this ACT/SAT score of 36 being perfect? When did they change the scoring of them? This is scary but I took that test 30 years ago........and I really sucked at it. I scored an 800 something. LOL

That is the SAT.
The ACT is normally taken in the southern states and the perfect score is 36.

hahaha no problem 808.

Max score on ACT is a 36

Max score on a SAT is 1800 when you include the writing section

Max score on SAT is 1200 when only considering math and reading sections.

Still didn't get anywhere near a 36 though, lol. In my dreams... maybe. Good luck.
lol... i got a 32 on it even though i fell asleep for a half hour during the test. i think it's engineered so that you can get a couple wrong in a section and still get a "perfect".

Ya for a 36 you can get lucky on some test and it allows you to miss one, but even with that it's still a pain

What happens if you don't get a 36? No car?
