feasability of a FD for an 17 yr old?

hey guys,

I was looking at an FC because of the price, but then after driving a FD with a cat back and down pipe, I am convinced,

and i was wondering what for about 20 to 25 k I can get in terms of miles, cond extc.

also how long does the engine and turbos last in terms of miles?

This being the first car that I will own (have been driving my dad's car for about 2 yrs now) it will be an only driver, what kind of gas milage does it get and how reliable is it?

finally if there is another 17 yr old or around there who owns a 3 gen, let me know what it is like

dont worry I am a real enthusaist, I almost cried when jesse james made a vert auto into flaming wreckage, I will be paying for the car, (not my parents) and will take amazing care of it and not drive it fast (unless on the track)

ook sorry for the long post ,
thanks much
nate

as long as you have a steady supply of income and a second car as a beater it should be fine
