Introduction (Apologies if this doesn't belong here)

Hello Everyone, My name is Marcello. I'm 19 years old living in good ol' Texas.
I was introduced to this forum by someone who commented on a post i made on the forum near me called Houston240sx. I was going on about the 86 on more of an S Chassis forum, but it was the only one i could find that was more of a LOCAL forum, so i figured the members would know people around who would know more about the 86, or could help me get my hands on one.
That being said, you could pretty much assume i don't have one.. yet. As much as i would LOVE a gts, An sr5 would do me just fine. I don't mind the -6 horsepower of the sr5 one bit, and from what I've looked up, the 4ac is a good starting point for people who aren't too savvy under the hood. I don't plan on really doing any drifting or anything until I'm a bit more stable as I just really got a job, and I'm just beginning to pick myself up from rock bottom, but i won't get too into that. I understand that parts for the 86 are hard to find (At least in my area, from what I've been told) but that doesn't bother me too much, really. Again, i don't plan on driving too hard, I just want a rwd 5 speed. I like the feel. The only car of the sort that I've been behind was an old neighbors s14, and i really can't describe why i loved the feeling so much. It honestly might be just the feeling of shifting manually since that was my first time driving standard. Right now I'm taking a crummy old Suzuki esteem to work and back, but hell, it's getting me there safely. My aunt was kind enough to let me use it, but i want to have my own car that i actually paid for. I feel like i would appreciate a car more knowing i paid it off on my own, so if anyone in san antonio, TX area has anything crowding their lot, feel free to inbox me details.
Again I'm sorry if this isn't the place to post introductions, i couldn't really find that thread if there is one.
Glad to be on the forums. I hope to meet some of you sometime. I've been lurking your photos for a while before i registered today.
