    You should look into getting a savings account that charges you some ridiculas ccharge to debit from it. Then put a chunk of your paycheck in it every week. The huge fees should keep you from using unless it's an emergency.

Open a savings account, and every time you get money, put half of it in that account and don't touch it until you have enough to get your car.

Put your money into a bank account. Don't carry any cash around with you, then you can't spend it.
