Well I reeeeeeeaally hate to say this but I'm glad that I worked my ass of in that programming job two summers ago and bought myself a car with it. My point? Get your own car, try as hard as you can. You're living with your mom, so pinching pennies is easier for you. I didn't spend a single cent of the $7000 that I made that summer--not on clothes, not on CD's, not on a cellphone (trash)--, which made buying a car really easy afterwards.
