Default Good first car.

Hey all,
Well im about to start driving with a legal person in 3 months. I have 6000 for a car. I really like racing and i'd like to drag my car and improve its performance. Slowly but surely lol... Whats a great car? I mean i wish i could afford a supra.. id love to. i dont want a civic or del sol or that stuff. An STi or R32 Golf would be a dream. Leave any of your thinks on mods and cars. Thanks alot.

-Colton

Your first car?

Honestly, don't get anything fast. You will either wreck it or get so many tickets your parents won't let you drive it.
Get something sensible until you get some more seat time.

My recommendation:

91 Escort.

i was thinking a broken down RX-7 TT, and then fix it up.. but i heard that wankels are expensive for replacement, "rotors".. am i right or am i being b/s'd

also i was looking into a '72 Camaro RS lol... but those are to gas hogs and they are very expensive to fix if you wreck. Im a good driver, I know all my precautions and signs. etc. Ive been studying those for a year now. Im anxious lol
