<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

I have been struggling with myself for the past month over whether I should get a car and commute the 20 minutes to campus or get a dorm room and stay on campus. I will be a freshman in this upcoming fall. I am obsessed with JDM cars and am constantly browsing Cars.com, Craigslist, CarFAX, and all the local dealerships websites for cars. Finances are strictly one or the other, not both and freshman can't have a car on campus where I am attending in the fall, so both is certainly not an option. I have several friends attending the same school as me so I don't fear being alienated and not having friends or a social life. 

In my junior year of HS, I drove my older sister's Mazda 3 and had such a blast with it. However, she took her car back when she began commuting to another school and I was forced to drive my mother's minivan for my entire senior year. This year I have had to commute a lot as I am in a special program for career exploration in which I drive to various local companies to shadow and such all year. It has been a rough year driving the swaggin' wagon and am squirming for a peppy, little car to call my own (been looking at the Mazda 3 and Mazdaspeed 3).

I hope this wasn't too much to read, but I am really looking for advice because everyone that I know that I ask just shrugs and says do what you want.
<bot>: Been dying for a car all senior year, will be freshman next year and am forced to decide between either a car and commuting 20mins each way or living on campus in a dorm.
