attending-level car 

an automobile (Mercedes SLR, Ferrari Enzo, Lamborghini Gallardo, etc) costing as much as a house, purchased when the debt-ladden physician-in-training finally obtained his/her license as an attending physician, hence just enough cash to burn for a show car.

This phrase is usually used by a young single male medical student to remind himself of the bright but distant future, when his present involves no presitge, no girlfriends, and no cash-money

med student cire: man, i looked like an idiot when my attending pimped me about 2 biochemical pathyways, 3 rare hereditary diseases, and the brachial plexus, also, i couldnt answer 1/3 of final exam questions today, and 14 skinny blonde chicks rejected my sexual advances.

medical student gnohz: don't worry, when you finally get your attending-level car, the universe will correct itself.
