Default dilema

ok so heres my dilema....

for a while i was planning to buy a new car, i drove a 2000 audi a4 1.8t, didnt like it
couldnt really find anything else to my liking exept overpriced preludes


soooo....i think im gonna stick with the civic and conserve some green. heres the problem
i want SOMETHING...

my first love is music, iv got and can play pretty much every instrument (the cool ones anyway...haha jk)
and i would like to buy a Macbook pro laptop and set it up with an awsome firewire interface and a nice midi controller and run ableton live and reason on it to produce/create and preform electronica/hip-hop/trance music aswell as record my bands live synth rock/fusion music wherever we are.

my second love (well tied for second with football) is cars but more specifically driving...so i would like to turbocharge/put a sweet suspension on the civic and just make it a blast to drive

Both of these probably cost the same...which do u guys say would be more rewarding, i realize im asking this to a pretty biased crowd lol
but im really torn and some arguments for both would help me make up my mind
thx

i don't know anything about music and such, and a turbo always sounds nice.

i would say go with the computer set-up----------------> throw down some beats, sell them, make some money and then get the turbo lol

if your passion is music i would say definitely do that though. cars come and go, take advantage of the talent you have.

I play Cello, Guitar, Drums, and Double bass. So I agree with Psycho, stick with the music.

Take it from someone who took choice two, do your music. Turbo's are a blast, but boost is like crack and next thing you know you're stupid amounts of money deep in going fast with no traction.

If he is buying the computer for music editing, he couldn't get anything better then a mac.
