Does it make a noticeable power difference though ? Like one with lsd vs one without.

LSD is limited slip differential. It has nothing to do with engine output. The short description is 2 wheels are delivering power to the ground. Whereas non-LSD, or open differential, will send power to only 1 wheel. The up side to LSD is that you are spreading out your power to more of your total tire contact area. The down side on FWD is that if you have both tires break free, you lose the ability to steer until you back off the throttle. So be careful with it.

Don't get a loan on a car when you're in college. Or ever if you can help it. Especially in college though. Drive a beater till you get paid. Even better is drive a beater till you save up to buy a car outright.

It's possible but not smart. I also paid a loan while in college, but I was working my butt off and the $107/month wasn't a big deal. In hindsight, I should have just bought a cheaper car with cash. If you're also taking out student loans, then it's absolute insanity to get a loan on a car (i wasn't).

In fact, I probably would have gotten better grades if I could have cut out 5-10 hours of work a month.

I know it probably isn't the right choice. Or a smart one for that matter. And maybe i will regret it down the line. But I feel as if I could do it. Im living at home so I don't have any bills other than insurance on my car now and food. Im pretty sure I could have the car paid off by the time I get out of college. So then I would only have my student loan to pay for. And I'll be making more than 8.45. Or at least I better be... Going into the construction engineering field. Lol

Oh gross...get a beater and move out!

J/K (sort of)

That student loan will haunt you. If you have a student loan and a car loan it basically means you're taking out a loan to pay for another loan. If that loan is unsubsidized, then *^&% NO!

However you go, good luck.

Im only 19. Haha. Im not too worried about moving out. My student loan sends me a refund check every semester because of the scholarships i have. Which is part of the reason i believe I can afford it. I know I'll have to pay it back at some point. (6 months after I graduate) but I feel my life is not complete. I need a cobalt 😅 but thank you. I guess what ever happens happens. Life will go on.
