You sure are getting alot fo preaching here, but as stated you asked and from the sounds of your attitude toward it, you sort of deserve it.

I have no idea what the market for a college grad is like out there right now, but I do hear it is quite tough, so I empathize with you on that one. On the other hand, you make statements like 'I'm lazy', making it appear you're not working to make things better either.

You get alot of criticism about living at home too, as opposed to talking about buying a car (your original question). Sorry again, but you asked for it. You laid yourself out there on the internet and asked can I do with too little. Sorry you don't like what you're reading, but it's fact and although the retorts here are rough, they're very useful if you'd see past the rhetoric.

Seems alot here are annoyed because I would guess alot here have worked and waited long and hard to get their cars. No one likes the guy that takes the short road, but you must see how that'd piss alot off ? Your statements about life priorities and apprently your philosophy is hard to read at times like now. Our economy sucks - you're feeling that probably more than alot here, since you're out of school and trying to use the degree to get started, unsuccessfuly - but then there is the statement of being lazy and almost saying those here should accept that and stick to the topic - buying the car. That's unfair of you.

People on this board are not asses, just annxious and realistic. At your stage (income, age, wants) maybe you were expecting guys here that were talking level of used Hondas or crotch rockets. That's not this site. You must have read alot on this site. MANY are getting SS'. That's a min $35,000 + car, these are not low budget cars with easy street or low rank financials. This is not Mercedes website, but know your audience before you open such a door. Did you really expect guys to say, sure go ahead, economy sucks, working class is bailing out faltering individuals and banks, etc. but that's cool, everybody deserves to be happy. That simply is not reality. If everyone is to be happy, everyone has to do for the whole, not the individual. Sorry I rant - Nuff said.

Anyway, I wish you luck and as stated in my previous post, your best times are yet to come, don't be too anxious and shoot yourself in the foot.
