Moonlight,
I see a "for me" in there; does that mean that mom and dad were buying and making the payments for you? If so, they're really very generous and kind parents! As compared to us when we bought our oldest son a 76 side step F back in 93 and gave our daughter and youngest son 60k mile hand-me-downs; which weren't bad deals back then for them.
Be well and mod that car, but save for your next vehicle as well.
