Yes the little blue avatar 
is supposed to mean sarcasm.
If your priorities are your car which they appear to be as Rah seems to be on here every few hours wanting more and more for his car and complaining he cant afford anything. He has obviously bought a car above his station. If he cant afford to mod it then leave it stock before he spends all his money on his car and his wife goes without her handbags and shoes.

Besides.. you obiously have to put the car in one of the top five priorites.. cause you cant support your family without money.. and without a job you cant get money.. and you need some sort of transportation like a "car" to get to your job.. to earn that money

I don't think anybody is doubting the need to have a car in this day and age, but rather the choice that you picked.
Anyway, this thread has gone askew from the original post.
Search , search, search for good deals!

My SC430 mainly sits in the garage I do a couple thousand miles per year in her. 90% of the time I used my beater or public transport.
I could'nt defend any reason to own an SC430 its a totally impractical car in every way. Its just a fun toy for when the sun is out.
Your 23 save, buy a fat house. When I was your age I drove a $100 car. But I was semi-retired at 30. Now I just do a few hours work at home and chill out with the family.

i suggest figuring out how to make more money. 
start an online business perhaps? i know a guy who sells tp online and he makes 40k a year just from that side business. i know another guy who has a small but growing online car forum like this one and he makes an extra 4-5k a year. it's not a ton but certainly enough to pay the car payments on the sc430...

I waited till I was much older than 23 and made much more money a year than 30 or 40 g's. I also divorced my money hungry wife that blew away her entire paycheck even after I found out she owed tens of thousands of dollars, money she owed BEFORE we married and BEFORE I even knew her. I payed off her debt and she was still imature with her concepts of finance.
You think some people here might be "sarcastic" about your wife possibly leaving you, but it's not funy and could be a reality. Luckily I don't have kids. You do.
The answer to your question only requires common sense. So I hope this thread you created is just a joke.
