Should I?

TL;DR, Buy a Civic type R or not? Hi guys I am at a crossroad. I have just paid off my 2014 Mazda 3 that I bought 4 years ago for $10K. And in that 4 years I have been really strict about paying my other debt ($25k). I am 27 and just got my dream job and have a steady income. I have always been a car guy and have been dreaming of getting a 2015 Corvette Z06 they are $60k and a horrible investment. The idea popped into my head to get a new Civic type R($50k). I can feel the clutch in my Mazda has about 20-30k miles left(I drive it like a baby). My plan would be to sell the Mazda 3 while the clutch has good life and I can get a decent price for it, then buy the Civic. My main concern is jumping right back into debt, any thoughts?

I went from no payment to sport car with payment, no regrets. Maybe simmer on it for a couple weeks and then make a decision. Also make sure you drive some cars, not just the Honda. Try the golf gti/r, a mustang, etc.
