Even if that's 45k before taxes, if you're not trying to buy your own house in the next few months or something crazy....I think you'll survive. The rest depends on your financing (if you do) and how much you decide to throw at it each month.

To the OP:
Keep the civic for now, you're young and in school. You'll eventually want to go out or go somewhere with friends and having a car that can handle that is always a plus, not to mention the occasional task of moving personal stuff. It's also paid for and most likely cheaper on insurance than the FRS will be.

That's not even including the random expenses that come up in life, better to be prepared and have cash and all to fall back on than be stressed and go paycheck to paycheck.

And if you're really just itching for a fun to drive car, the sound of a used miata isn't too bad...they're definitely fun.
