Good advise all around. Sell the car and go to school full time. Don't be like me, working full time, and trying to finish up school. I wish I would have just buckled down when I was a kid..... live and learn I guess. Good Luck w/ your education. Come graduation time though..... It'll be on.

Depends on what kind of degree you want. If you want to become an Engineer, then definitely sell the car and go to school. But if you want to become an Attorney, keep the car and live out of it!!!!

If you're throwing $200 a month at insurance, definitely ditch the car. When you're done and facing student loans, you'll be much happier in retrospect if you have less to pay back, and more pay to play with later.

DO like I do. Go to school full time and work full time. Bust your *** for what you want. I've only got 4 months of school left and it feels real good that I can pay my bills and better myself at the same time.

I'm surprised no one's said this yet but....
I'd say school. 
j/k
Seriously though, if you want to do both see if you can do a work/study program at the school you're going to, but that's still cutting it close. In the end, you'll be happier you got the education and can not have to worry as much about these kinda choices 10 years from now.
Without the schoolin', 10 years from now you might still be driving your F-bod with primer on it and a missing fender. Odds of that not happening greatly increase with more education

I'll add this...go to school, graduate, get a job making good money. By the time it's over, the new camaro's will be out and then you can afford that or maybe even a vette! Just don't get some piece of eurotrash like everyone else does once they get some money. That's so weak.
