+1, Way too many posts of people in here stretching their finances to the limit for a car. Not smart.
I guess that is California though, for alot of posters here. People more concerned with what they drive and appearances than making the financially smart decision.

I was renting a townhouse 2 years ago and really wanted to buy a car then. I understood that buying a house first was the better move, however unpopular that was with my car-wanting attitude. Now, two years later I can go after a car with a sizeable downpayment and be completely comfortable.
