We all surely look forward to hearing about your car once you've taken ownership!
Any preferred color/spec/brand you're leaning towards? Future plans?

I'm saving up my money and I'm planning on selling my current car (2011 Elantra) to help with the cost. I hate to sound spoiled but my Dad said he'd help with the remainder as a graduation gift for my bachelor's degree.
I'll go for a Toyota 86 manual transmission (base model) in a silver or dark gray color like the asphalt color they have for it.
As for plans, I won't be able to modify it until I get an actual engineering job after my Masters degree because I would have already spent everything on the car and tuition so the HELLABROKE sticker I saw one time would be fitting haha.
Gonna keep it stock for awhile, first thing that comes to mind would be an exhaust and air intake along with better tires and lighter wheels. Maybe a turbo one day but the 86 would double as my daily driver so I don't want to kill my mileage.
That being said this would be my first foray into being an actual car guy that works on their car. The only thing I know how to do is change oil/wipers/tires.
