This plan depends entirely on you living with your parents, having them pay gas+insurance and actually being able to get a job right out of college. At some point don't you want to be independent? Even if you get a job at 50k a year right out of college that wouldn't leave you with much spending cash after housing, insurance, food, internet, electricity, phone, etc etc.
Seems like a lot of risk for a less practical car and having to give up your bike.

This is the type of devil's advocate advice I was looking for, on top of the "I would get it for x,y, and z reasons as well. Since my parents are moving about 10 hours away in a year, I am definitely going to live with them for the next year, which will in conjunction allow me to save money as it would be rent free. Also, for saving money I will stay on their plans, but pay them my share of what it costs since it is cheaper to be on their insurance until I am 25 on top of the cell phone service. I greatly appreciate it the advice, definitely gave me things to think about!
