when you refer to a "full rebuild" & "MKIV supra" and "10k" in the same sentence, you haven't even the slightest bit of knowledge.
Neither. '95 civic should do just nicely.

Go find a 1999 Toyota 4Runner and drive that until you graduate high school. Your insurance would be low enough that you can afford gas to drive.

As someone who had both at the same time, go with the FRS. I LOOOOOOVED my supra and miss it like crazy, but its not a car meant to be a daily. Sure it can be no problem, but you will be terrified everywhere you leave it. People come up to you constantly, requests for burn outs, pictures...the list goes on.
I sold mine a few months ago to buy a house. And I miss it everyday, Maybe I'll build another one some day. I also did the NA-TT swap on mine + other things and it adds up...reallllllly fucking fast. ...Man do i wish I never sold it! |

I'd like to point out that you shouldn't just get a "college education", because these days that means nothing. Invest in a degree that is useful, can be applied, and most of all something that you enjoy.
The rest will come in a few years down the road when you are on a fat bankroll. |

Not even close in comparison for attention. I catch people giving looks to the FRS, a thumbs up, or a "nice car" comment. The Supra, people went out of their way to see it....sometimes even try and follow me places...that part I don't miss. |

All VINs in place, low mileage and all stock parts too. Tough decision! Getting back to the point, OP would be better off buying the FRS because modding the Supra is not as cheap as most would think. It's even more expensive if you're thinking about doing the NA to TT conversion. |

The fabled Toyota Supra...if for some miracle you find one an unmolested one then go for it.
