I am in the same boat as you.
I haven't had my EVO for long, but i might be getting rid of it soon to go to collage.
I am 21, still living at home and also with a decent full time job.
I spend alot of my money on my car(s), and i am tired of being broke. I want to start my future, go back to school and get a good paying career.
Good luck!

being in the army, ther is always the military to help you a long...like air force, navy, etc. do a couple of years of a job that intrests you then after 2-3 years of service goto school for free. thats what i did/still doing( in iraq now, 2nd time).
if you love the car and not 100% on what you want to do in life the military is a good buffer between wasting money at college and getting free training in the feild you want....that is just an option.
and no im not a recrutier, just passing on an option cause its what i kinda did, out of highschool i joined, not because of car or anything important, just felt like trying it. then i got the evo and get my school paid for.... my 2cents
edit : btw in 22 y/o

Going to school is the smart thing to do. One thing you could consider is going to a local community college for 2 years and then transferring into a school of your choice. It may be cheap enough and flexible enough for you to keep your car. I did not do this but I do know many people who did and in the end they still got their degrees from a good school.

Definitely make the college choice. The loss of the car can be made up for with the 18yr old girlfriends. In the right position, you'll forget all about it. Make sure you're going to school not only for something you enjoy, but also something that has some decent job prospects. The film industry is not exactly growing at a phenomenal rate, nor is it a guarantee you'll get a decent job. You don't want to invest 4 yrs and still be in a dead end job.

I did the exact opposite of what original poster has done. Went to college for 5 years. 4 year degree as advertised is bull unless you go max hours every semester including summer/winter breaks. Anyhow, graduating next week (BS Construction Management) and now im on the hunt for a good job which actually turned out to be a hard thing to do. But I wish to own a ix in the near future.
Go to school bro, Ive seen all my friends that dropped out, get the 30-35k a year jobs and they have plateaued with their income. Granted Im one of the few that still live at home, I feel I made the right decision. I hope you do the same man.
Good Luck!!

Thanks guys for your input. You all are just reinforcing my decision. I'm going to start looking through colleges tonight using my login for collegeboard.com. It still works from high school lol.
Another thing I'm still trying to figure out is what kind of car im going to get to replace the evo. I still owe around 18k on the car so whatever I sell it for over that I would put towards the new car. Whatever that might be.

XtoEvolution, hey man, everyone here is right. Get your college Ed. first, then go after the Evo. I had to do a similar thing when I bought my house, I got rid of the 9 and bought something more practical and a little cheaper... But i'm gonna warn you, I haven't had an Evo in like a year, but all I do is think about when I'll be getting another one... this sh*t is in my DNA now, you'll probably be the same way... you'll get up in the morning and get on EvoM and see all the posts and be like "f***! why did I get rid of my Evo!" But remember, once you finish school, you'll be able to pick one up for like $20K!
