I've quit three jobs - basically two because of salary and the last one due to bad working conditions. I've also been fired from one (after continuous arguing with a tyrannical German boss) and made redundant in another in the early 2000's tech crash.
In IT, and I'm assuming that automobile project management might be something similar, there comes a time when the cumulative frustrations are too great and there's no way to improve your lot except moving on. As a number of folks have already said - you can stay where you are, but you know things aren't going to improve. So you figure out what the odds are of improving by doing something else. For myself I always underestimated these odds, thinking safety and security first, but looking back, there's a few times where I'd have been better off leaving earlier, than sticking around hoping things would change.
You've got savings, you have an idea - worst comes to it you get yourself another job in two years after blowing some capital and gaining some experience. Go for it - it'll be worth it in the long run.
