<prompt> Human: Hello,Im in need of guidance so I can get myself back on track.For my 19th birthday I was lucky enough to get a Infiniti G35 coupe 6 speed sports package. My dad consigned with me for the 12,000 dollar vehicle and put me on his insurance. I always paid on time and had only one late payment in the 9 months I had the car. After the 9 months of having my first car, I totaled it after a party and got myself a DUI. I lost my license, totaled my sports car, and was forced off of my parents insurance. Luckily, I still relieved a decent amount of insurance money to pay off all lawyer fees and get my hard ship. I will receive my full license first thing in 2016. Since that happened late 2014, Ive been working my butt off saving money as much as I could to put a decently good down payment on a car. Not caring about my credit, 3 months before my accident I missed a student loan and it dropped my credit like crazy, to the point of low 500s.As of today, my credit is 587. Ive been paying 50 dollars instead of 25 dollars on the only credit card I have or loan, OTHER than school loans which I am now paying a small amount of. I have 2,000 dollars saved and only see my score going up under 5 points every few weeks. The loan was for a bed and I have 600 left to pay on it out of 1400 approval I was given before my accident.Im currently out of school and have been just working and saving to get myself the newer sports car than I had before to show myself I can get through this and never make the stupid decision I did. I plan to go back to school this upcoming spring but want to get my car before that. I have no bills other than gym and the 25 dollars a month for my bed loan. My dad keeps saying credit is everything. What should I do to make my credit go up faster? How much should I put down? When is my credit good enough? What should I do?! I want to get a car with a few months. The car Im going for will be worth around 15,000 dollars. Thank you guys, I will be active on this until I find out exactly what I should do!  <response>: Im currently out of school and have been just working and saving to get myself the newer sports car than I had before to show myself I can get through this and never make the stupid decision I did. Well, I guess as long as we arent making the same stupid decision twice.
