Default Carrr..

Well I've have had an automatic car. Not going to name what car it was cause it was poopy. Anyways I want to get into the car scene, I'm still young, I've been trying to aquire so much info on cars (ie. repair, performance, etc, etc) but I came short. I even begged a local auto tech school (Lincoln Tech) for an early early enrollment. Answer was no. So basically I'm asking what a good beginner manual car would be. This is where I'd "experiment" and stuff. It'd be a foundation for later on. In other words, since my sentences are run-ons and do not make sense, I want a beginner friendly platform. Please spare me the third degree, and positive and helpful input would be awesome. I was looking at some of the common platforms, ones I could get at a reasonable price and ones that. well of course, ran. Like 180-240, RX-7 2nd gen, Preludge 4th and 5th gen, Integras, Hyundai Tiburon (K-Power!) 300ZX TT ( yeah right ^^ ) etc, etc. You know just suggestions and stuff would be nice. I just like imports~ So once again positive and helpful inputs please ! If you want to yell at me for being immature and stupid, or if you have had a bad day and you need to vent it out on someone, please PM me !

Also something reasonably priced. I'm working to get an S2K, and hopefully by that time I will have acquired a nice amount of experience and knowledge. (Hopefully, especially on the knowledge part. Can someone be my tutor? I can't even take Auto Mech. in school because I lack credits in some of the academic fields. I wanna friggin' know and learn ! =( Why is someone letting my knowledge hungry mind go to waste ! Someone be my mentor or somethinggggg ) Oh and by the time I save up enough money, probably 3 years or so would've passed. Unless I get a new job....

Haha that car freaks me out, looks like that brain bug king from Starship Troopers. I prefer asian cars. Yes I am the automobile hitler. No I'm kidding, plus the only beemer I'd buy is the 850CSi yumm. Oops sorry I'm being picky and ungrateful. Thanks for the suggestion ^^

Visually example.

Agreed. My second choice would be an Integra.
