I have been through this situation. I am 22 now BTW.
I always had the plan of finishing uni, getting a decent paying job (I am an accountant) and then buyng a house as I could afford it more easily. So between the time that I have finished school and now I have worked for 2 years with a crappy job while at uni and 2.5 or so with a decent job but still at uni.
I have spent a lot of money on cars now which definitely could have been invested more wisely. However, at the end of the day I have had fun and learnt A LOT!
Because of the housing boom over the last 3 years I probably could have made a lot of money with buying a house early. My dad asked me back then if I wanted to buy the block next door for $70000. I thought at the time that there was no way I could afford it as I was working at dodgimoes as a delivery boy.
In hindsight, I could have bought that, plonked a house on there, kept it for 1 or 2 years and made over $100000. Then had shit loads of money to spend on a car and the next house.
Of course, then I wouldn't have my rona or be around here very much either 
BTW travel is good also. I went for a trip to japan. But at the very end of it, you have good memories and no money. At least with modding a car you have something to sell at the end (even if you don't make a profit)
Personal choice, but a mixture of all is pretty good I think
