Let's say an NSX just showed up in your garage tonight for free. You still gonna deliver pizza? The NSX sure won't allow you to take on other opportunities such as schooling, business start-up, and learning. An NSX without the ability to comfortably keep it will make enjoying one impossible. It would be a liability and you would rue the day you got it.
One just can't take the NSX to any shop to get it fixed as parts are becoming scarce...it is now an antique. You'll need your own house with a shop and have a spare car to drive while awaiting parts. It will also rob you of you time and money that is generally needed to develop opportunities. Toys are a lot of fun, but they are distracting.
"People miss opportunity because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work" --Henry Ford
Dreams give you direction and purpose. My dreams drove me to where I am today, plenty of painful setbacks for sure, but failure is temporary and success teaches one nothing.
"Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Your life may change, but your dream doesn't have to." --Tom Clancy
Your teens and twenties is the time to develop valuable knowledge and abilities without a lot of obligations to others. Not only does this tend to make money, but it also makes life worth living. The NSX is just a tangible reward along the way. Currently, your brain is on fire: It is so easy to learn and do anything you put your mind to. It gets really hard by age 35 and by 45 you're on the downhill slide.
As with others: I'll state you MUST go to college, you only have to graduate if nothing better shows up along the way (sure the odds of something like the next Google or MSFT is unlikely, but that doesn't mean not to look for it). Learn as much as you can and do as well as you can: especially with classes that you do not care about. The actual education is about 5th down the list on things that you gain from higher education. You are there to network, find allies, look for opportunities, and most importantly prove self-discipline. The last one is the most important: can you find your class, show up on time, do things well even if you don't want to do them, and turn in projects on "unimportant/boring" subjects? This is why it is so important to get into the best college one can as the education is all the same, but the education isn't the most important part.
Freakonomics states: that money is so much more valuable when you are young and broke. They are correct of course, but they advocate not saving when you are young. The problem is that Levitt wrote a best seller that required near zero upfront capital. For somebody like me that is just a problem solver: The option of having money when opportunity arises is invaluable,
as it doesn't knock twice or wait around. Figure out what type of person you are and work for it.
Marshall Brain also has a lot to say on this topic.
You need to have your skills, ability, and some money ready to go when the opportunity arises. There will be no warning and it will be quick, and it will be a slough. Don't confuse the fake urgency of a get-rich scheme and/or something that doesn't scale well.
Getting your toy car before you get everything else is putting the cart before the horse. Owning something optional that you cannot easily keep is not fun. Your stuff owns you and cars are one heck of a taskmaster. Driving a car you don't care about is liberating.
Jay-Z is right.
EDIT: Addressing the cost of college. If one cannot easily* get into a highly selective college [ie Ivy League, MIT, Standford, UCLA, USC, and a couple of others] then it unlikely to be worth it. I recommend going into debt exactly $0 via the non-selective community college route. The education is the same and the money you save will give a fair competitive advantage to a highly selective college. I had more fun at a community college too. Going into debt for a third-tier college is not a good decision MHO.
Real Estate: Yes, almost always buy real estate. Some 90% of my total net worth and earnings is from real estate. The extreme vast majority of high net-worth individuals were put there with real estate; it is just very mundane, mostly boring, and, therefore, it doesn't hit the news. However, real estate is a democratic game that everybody can play...the only gatekeeper is a downpayment.
*Easily = cheaply or the cost is no issue
