Thumbs up

Honestly, when it comes down to it, living in a nice house beats driving a nice car any day of the week.

If you can do both, you are blessed.

that leaves me with, lets say 1500 left over. cell phone bill, insurance, food and gas, goin out money, etc and hopefully a couple-few hundred to stash up and save. thats fine by my standards for the moment.

i just started working at a new company with room for growth so hopefully my income will increase in the span of time. AND I WAS NEVER BRAGGIN ABOUT WHAT IM TAKING HOME regardless of the bashing.

of course 3k a month isnt anything to brag about but in these times i think its fairly decent for a twenty something year old with no mouths to feed but his own. but thats just me.
Dont do it. Even with the gf's "$400/mo." from the old car (from a later post you make in this thread). As if that is bankable.

Basically youre spending on the car what you are on rent.

If I have to explain how stupid that looks and sounds, go ahead and ignore the advice, because you'll be looking and feeling stupid about 6 months later.

One more piece of advice, since you appear to be heading towards marriage with this girl at the ripe old age of your 20s: Your marriage will not be different from anyone else's.
