I finally found an S14 motor that is worth purchasing. I have been looking forever and saving money for a little over a year. Now I'm in a delima and I need other member's opinions. The engine I found will be $3500 shipped. I have exactly $3500 in the bank.

Okay now, I just graduated highschool (yesterday) and I'm off to college. Should I save the money for college or spend it all on the motor? Also, it feels good to be my age and not have to worry about money. All my friends are in debt and I can take out as much money as I need, when I need it... it's a good feeling. Another thing, if I get this engine, I'm not going to lie, I will probably street race. I don't want to sink a load of cash into something and then have my license taken away or my car impounded. Those are three delima's I have with purchasing a nice S14 Blacktop.

One more thing that is kind of far out there. My parents said they'd go half and half with me on a newer used car for around $20,000. That will take 6 months. Should I wait for a new car?

I know this is my life and I should make my own decisions but I wouldn't mind other people's opinions and what they would do. Thank you very much.
