I'm putting 1k/month in short term savings and I have 20k saved up. I expect some expenses to draw out of this account but all in all I will be able to purchase my dream car in ~3 years as long as nothing crazy happens.

However, I've been thinking about buying an 08-16 r6 for track riding, with some street riding on the side. This will eat up at least 10k from my short term savings account, which will set me back around 1 year in terms of purchasing a car. Potentially 2 years, considering additional continued expenses.

Wat dou?

investing in cars early on will make you broke forever. what is this “dream car”?
Bikes are much more affordable fun, but you’ll also probably get run over by a jeet truck driver or a woman in an suv.
>>
if you already have a car that you can reasonably expect to last for longer than 3 years, go for it, sounds fun
otherwise prioritize the car first

I think driving a car thats worth more than what you make in 2 or 3 months is kinda stupid.

If you don't have a daily driver and need one get one of those before getting a bike. If not, a bike is a lot more fun than a car for the money. Probably more fun period. I've never enjoyed driving cars as much as I have enjoyed riding. Ofc bikes are inherently risky. If you don't have health insurance or work a job that requires you to be physically able or whatever those are things to consider if you eat shit on the track and can't work/have medical bills to pay. I've never had a crash but it's always on my mind. If it's a track bike ideally you'd want something to transport it to the track with also. Imo 10k is a lot to drop on a first bike. I'm an experienced rider and I've never spent more than 7k USD on a bike and I've owned some serious bikes. I'd start off with something way cheaper to see if you actually enjoy riding. You can figure that out on a 250.

Even spending 7K USD on a first bike is a tall order when Marketplace has bikes for $2K at almost any engine power you would want.

An r6 is a terrible first bike and track is much more expensive than you realize.
