I get it. I was once 23 and had no cares in the world and could spend half of my income on a car but priorities change and "life" happens.
My advice to OP, that is too much car for you. Go for something cheaper ~30-35K.

This is kinda where Im at in my life currently, which is why I say do it now. When I was 23, I would have, and did, buy a non practical fun car because at 23, my priorities were different. Now that im 29 and my priorities have changed, even though i can afford to get an even better non practical fun car, I dont because of priorities.
If you are always waiting for the perfect time to have fun, you'll miss out on a lot of fun.
