Yeah, def. get a cheaper car as your first car.

I'm not saying it has to be used or shitty, maybe like a Scion tC? Recently toyota has being cranking up factory support for it (TRD has decided to make parts again ha, poor supra drivers can only get stupid crap like "high performance" oil filters at this point). You can buy strut and sway bars, a weak SC, lowering springs, better shocks for thsoe springs, a clutch kit, a quick shifter and some other stuff I'm sure I forgot, all without voiding the factory warranty.

That way your getting a new car, you can tune it, but it's not something that will be some huge deal to lose.

I wanted a supra as my first car (still want one) but I can GUARANTEE I would be dead by now, the rush of speed is intoxicating once you are driving by yourself.
