yeah that'd be fine.
when (not if) you get in your first wreck, it's still kind of an expensive lesson. maybe a silvia Q's would be cheaper?

yeah it probably is. a silvia would be nice too but i would want something i am already familiar with just so i can work with it easier.

its not really a must. just a want. i could go for like a old hilux and turn it into a mad offroad 4x4 if i wanted to but nah. sports car for the young wants, then later, a offroad suv that doubles as a good family car to drive kids to school too

Also my parents didn't get the car for me as you're probably thinking. I started working when I was 14 and saved every dollar until I was 16

exactly. some kids just look at a car and say they want it, then wreck it later because they cant handle it. then theres the others who are very into the car stuffs and actually know things etc and wreck it because some other guy on the road was being an ass.

You can pick a manual BRZ for $30k, GT for $25-26k Or a GTS for around 28k, with a truckload less km's and safer than a 12 year old Supra. Oh the BRZ/86 is going to use less petrol too.
