Buy my recently for sale Lincoln Mark VIII. 300 hp Cobra motor, ultra luxurious, great handling, and insurance right in par with a V6 Mustang.



JK... I'd say if you want something so badly, go for it... never compromise your goals. But, also realize this is a lofty goal, and don't be discouraged if you don't end up with one. If you haven't already convinced your parents to help you buy one, don't hold your breath on it. There's not much above good grades and behavior that will sway mom or dad on a $22k purchase.
