I have a plan, is it good?
Here's a little background, I'm currently 16 years old, I have my brothers old Acura tl and I have a 10 mile commute to school every morning. My plan is as follows: I sell the old Acura and put the $13k into an account labeled "car fund only" for as it is titled. I then will buy a 7-8k RX-8 from one of your fine gentlemen on the vendor forum and get the compression test first of course. After that I will put the rest of my money which will be about $5k into the account and use it for repairs in the future. I am prepared for the maintenance and am willing to do everything required to have the best car on the block. Is this a solid plan or will I end up losing everything and selling my soul?

No one knows how long their 8 will last. If you read all the new owner stickies, and are willing to learn and maintain it religiously, you may be in for a great experience.
They really are great cars.
I've had mine for nearly 2 years now, ('04 LY GT mt) and I still love it like no other vehicle I've had since my 1st at 16. (Yellow '69 Javelin)
Just remember premium EVERY fillup, check/add oil every other tank, and change oil every 3k miles.
Good luck!

At last - a teenager who's thought it through, did some research, and has a plan!
As long as your brother doesn't ask what happened to his car and demand the sales proceeds, you're golden.
