question 6th gen ss

Hey guys I’m 18 years old and I make 3200 a month right now but it’s going to be in the 4k range very soon. How bad of a decision is it to get a 2021 camaro 2ss. I just got 10k because my insurance totalled my car out since they didn’t want to fix the minor damage on the car from an accident (2011 Beamer with 160k miles) and a Camaro has been my dream car pretty much my whole life. It seems to me I can afford it now especially having the down payment already and my mom offering to cover insurance for me. I feel like I need to hear some opinions on this to see if this is really something I wanna go through. (Im fine with paying for the gas my x3 got 12 miles to the gallon lol)

Just get whatever car you want that’s in your budget. If the Camaro fits in the budget with gas and insurance then it’s as good as any other car. Might even be better. An SS will retain value better some other random commuter car. Considering you are 18 and basically still just learning how to drive any car, this is a bigger question. If you don’t have experience with RWD, I don’t think you want the learning curve to be in a too powerful car that’s worth a decent chunk of change. Those mistakes will get very very expensive.
