I can't guarantee how long you're going to live, but the reset of your life could be a pretty damn long time. Trust me, there's other people who felt the same way as you...and the overwhelming odds are that you won't keep it terribly long. Even if you decide to spend some of it, save some as well. Bare minimum, if you can, you should save at least 10% of each check.
Just Got Paid (Opinion Thread)

Here's what i've learned over the last several years as I've gotten into progressively better and better jobs. Your taste for cars and mods will grow just as your pay checks do. $350/pay day now might be $3,500/pay day a few years down the road. If you must spend it, get something you'll want even when you start making real money. Something you can afford now that even the most experienced people would agree on: Springs/suspension (buy used), tint, tune up, then save for some decent wheels which if you watch the for sale sections around the net like a hawk you'll find amazing deals. Don't go all ricer and spend your $300 at autozone unless it's on tune up gear. Oil, filters, gaskets, etc.
Soon enough your car will be more valuable and when you go to any car meets, you'll gain respect! Now... Go DO WORK!

No I dont even look at autozone stuff...... I plan on buying 06+ rear and front seats to go into my car. I have a set of muteki rims I bought for $220 that need tires, that I plan on being rims that I only use during winter. I plan on buying 99-00 front end conversion and a B18C. I'm not trynna rice out my car what so ever I want it to look somewhat like an Si but with my own lil personality put into it.

Stuff to lower your car! I got some loteks. And cool overs from eBay for like 220 shipped. Everyone hates on eBay but when ur a college student u got to go cheap. Plus they ride great and I'm really happy with them
My car was already somewhat lowered when I got it tho like it grounds out very easy and hits behind other cars in the parking lot. So I want to invest in other stuff before I got there.
Well this is what I bought with my pay check.
That isnt the exact pic, but they need cleaned and to small burn holes patched. They cost me $250 including shipping and I bought the rear ones before the fronts because they were harder for me to find then the front ones. For everyone one that doesn't know they are the rear seats out of the 06+ Si and they will go perfect with the black and red Ek I am starting to build

I plan on never selling my car also. The reason I'm putting alot of money into it now is because I plan on driving it daily till I graduate college then I plan on getting a new car and having this as a car that I drive just for fun or maybe just when I have my daughter because I may go to a 2 seater when I get a new car.
Thanks for your opinion!
give me 10 of your paychecks and ill give ur a b18c swap for it
I really don't have any goals just want something that looks and drives good.
With the outside I plan on getting this:
excluding the rear fenders and roof scope but including the front fenders and front lip or going with a 99-00 Si look.
The interior is going to be painted black with black floors and ceiling. The seats will be 06+ Si's.
I don't know what I want to do with engine yet. I want to swap a Vtech in. The one I really wan is a B18C but they aren't cheap.
Basically I need suggestions with the whole engine.
So 5 months from now? lol
and if I do it I will probably get it from a local tuner car shop.

if you want something that drives nice save for five months its not funny thats what a b18c1 costs
I was laughing because I didnt think they would want to wait that long for me to save up all that..... I know the cost of those engines they are a good 3-4kif you want something that looks good stay away from that body kit! you said you wouldn't rice it out
