It would at least identify priorities.

For me, it was about 14%.

My first car cost $900. I went in on it with my sister.

My second car cost $400.

My third car (first Mitsubishi) cost $8400 when I was making $18,000 a year. That's 46.7%, and that was stupid. I should have waited, or bought a cheaper car.

I wonder how many Evo owners have spent > 50% of their annual gross salary on one?
That's a great point! In my opinion, you shouldn't have a car worth more that 1/2 of your annual income.

Anyhow, I was 33 when I got mine in Texas and drove it back to Colorado 3 years ago. It's a 03 BBY, it had 30k miles and now has 82k. Doing my T-belt over Thanksgiving weekend and some minor upgrades.

I was 21 when I got my black evo 8. It's awesome, I love the car! And by far the best car I've ever owned! You should definitely get one
