 @$140 a month
 so there you go, it can be done. If I added all the other stuff I've bought for the car, total would probably be @ $300 a month. Which is actually pretty sad when i only make roughly $7000 a year (full time student, work part time @20 hrs a week) I also pay my own insurance. Some extra scholarship money does help once in a while. :) I should really start saving.
