im just got to add my 2cents
background info on me: i got my skyline when i was 16, (2months before i turn 17) got it so i could learn to drive manule and take the driving test as i didnt want an auto p's.
I am now 19 (20 in a few months), and have not had a major crash in my skyline (touch wood), yes i have had the odd minor accident (roll into the car infront of me and crack my frontbar and lost it in hills at low speed and put a hole in my I/c)
Ok so now you know something about me
My adivce would be to not get a skyline for your 1st car, if i could go back in time i wouldnt. i would have waited till i was in my mid 20's and bought myself a more $$$ sport car like an evo or gtr. and the money i would have saved i could have had enough to start thinking about putting a despoit on a house...
WHY? because the amount of money i have wasted on my car (350hp later), the amount of effort and time i have spent getting it to what i want and the AMOUNT OF BS i have taken from people IS NOT WORTH IT!
BUT i know no matter what people tell you, you will get a skyline, hay even if i could go back in time and tell myself not to buy a skyline i bet i would have still Ahahaha. just makre sure you drive very carefuly
Cheers Michael
ps @ the end of the day You cant race a house hehe
