obviously this comes from someone whos been there done that..yes you may thrash your first car if its a shit one...if its a skyline u may respect it..of course if you buy a cheap crapper it may cost you loads just to keep it on the road. Best talk to 13_devil hes only 17 with a 33 gtst and he could give u pointers. In the end what is said her is advice...its you who makes the decsion on what you really want....goodluck in your choice and if it is a line...respect the car and you will become a good driver...leave the thrashing to the track and not the streets
