Default What would you do?

Scenario:
You're 19yrs old, you have $7k in the bank,your mustang has been dyno tuned at310rwhp and runs high 12's and has a loud exhaustandturns heads, you don't street race and only hit the tracka couple times a yr,your rich grandparents gave you a college fund for tuition/gas/car-insurance till you get your bachelors degree, your starting salary will be$40k/yr when you get out of college and get a job at 23yrs old,when you getout of college you want to get ahouse as soon as you can because the longer yourent an apartment is money down the drain if you can afford a house.
At 19yrs old, do you:
A: Spend a couple thousand dollars or less on mods for your car to bump your car into the mid to low 12's.
B: Save a little more and when you can afford a supercharger and a rebuild for your car get it.
C:Save mostof the money, but get yourself a couple Xbox360 games andnew HDTV
D: Save your money and only use it when you need it, whoknows if you'll haveanemergency/big-problem one day or you can start saving for a house.
D is also b/c your car is fast enough for your age/already and your not a complete speed junkie.

I would keep most of the cash in the bank just in case you see something shiney that ketches your eye. Or invest a little bit.

I don't really see how buying a house in the US right now is any better than renting[8D]


Mind you I guess you can get killer deals right now

Open up a Roth IRA and fund it as much as possible. Pay yourself first.
