At your age I'd put the money in the bank and let it grow... I know it sounds lame.

2nd biggest waste of money you can do!
Put it in the bank!

1st waste would be for you to burn it... like by buying fireworks with it!

Sounds good in theory but people aren't age really aren't thinking about that and we'll look back 10 years from now and kick ourselves in the ***.

Shouls have bought the GT manual in the first place. But, yes, live and learn. After my 98 v6 auto, I told myself the next Mustang I´m getting is going to be exactly what I want, or I´m not getting one at all. Found mine, and now I´m happy

I say go for it if you can justify the money

If a manual GT is what you want AND you can swing it financially, then by all means, do it.

Getting older sucks, but paying those premiums at your age sucks too. If you really want the GT then get it. No point in not being happy. Life is too short.

Yeah saving money is smart but it probably won't happen haha. I didn't buy a GT in the first place because I honestly didn't think I'd get anything from graduation but I did so it got me thinking.

If this is your first RWD veh then keep the v6 to get used to a RWD car with a somewhat decent amount of power then upgrade to what you want. I have seen alot of people go from a low HP FWD vehicle to a RWD car with a v8 and within a month theyve turned it backwards. And so what about the increase in insurance, its only money and you cant take it with you, might as well enjoy it now while you can.
