The car, well that's just an awesome car, but should you be putting all your savings into a vehicle? Not unless it's going to literally "get" you somewhere as employment.
I see your point about the first two... But it wouldn't be nearly 'all' of my savings. I actually wouldn't touch my savings account to buy the car... I just wouldn't be putting that 500 a month into that account =) I still have 401k that I contribute to which is way better than nothing. My concern about going for the airline career - I'd have to sacrifyce things such as nice cars for the next 10 to 15 years just because I wouldn't be making enough money? This is where the roadblock comes up for me. I don't think that job is worth doing for a dime less than 45k per year. It's just highway robbery. If the second year as a FO was 45 grand a year, this wouldn't even be a decision for me... I'd already be back in flight school.
