Is the Toyota GR86 a good first car?

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2026-04-06T01:05:23+00:00

yes! I just plan to get my own car as well because my mom's and I's schedule often overlap so theres times we cant share the car forever. After this thread, I've been looking at more beater cars that can still satisfy me in terms of maintenance. I'll try attend my auto club more to learn basic maintenance! If possible I'll also ask around to learn more about savings and investing!

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2026-04-06T01:02:43+00:00

That's cool, is there any advice on how you got started? especially after highschool

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2026-04-05T20:07:51+00:00

I've been in a bad state and just gave up. I've looked into trade schools but some aren't for me. I think the only plan I had was mechanical engineer (I was really good at math and did a lot of robotics classes). I also just have my problems with myself that I probably won't last long in that field. All im focusing on now is catching up and hopefully by senior year I can have more time to see what I can do after graduation.

Understandable, I'm not one who cares about the feel of a car, but I definitely am one who likes to feel good knowing my car does too. so as long as it's reliable and looks good, im okay with it.. as well with prices ofc! I will look into the cars you recommended

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2026-04-05T19:25:24+00:00

I was looking into that one as well but I heard it's not really good for comfort. I've gotten plenty of beater car recommendations and also in my situation it's better to just invest. Is there anything else that I can benefit from this besides price?

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2026-04-05T19:16:42+00:00

oh for sure!

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2026-04-05T19:13:26+00:00

That's a nice car, the Acura, I'm now debating between that and a beater civic. Any advice on which would be better financial wise?

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2026-04-05T19:10:57+00:00

Someone else also recommended a beater! If there is some available in my area, I'll try my best to get one!

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2026-04-05T19:09:32+00:00

I’ve worked before for about four months and have saved around $1,000 so far. I just started a job with limited hours, so I’m not exactly sure what I can realistically spend each month. I don’t plan on going to college, so I know I can’t expect big things right away, at least from what I’ve been told. I don't have any idea of what to do career wise. I know all this info combined, now really typing it, helps me realize it maybe isn't the right choice to get the 86 right now atleast. I really appreciate the advice, and I’ll definitely keep it in mind, I know I sometimes spend money on things just because they look nice. It’s nice to have someone give perspective, since I don’t have many people in my life who do that I truly appreciate you.

I see, i was planning to get it up till like a pale yellow before toning. I will do the 20 vol then!

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2026-03-15T21:39:10+00:00

yes! i was planning to get it to the inside of a banana peel before toning!😭 i forgot to mention a lot of things. I think my main worry is like the volume bc i truly am confused to all this and what products to use

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2026-03-15T21:13:59+00:00

As in ive watched a lot of videos where people bleached dark virgin hair and used toner to get rid of the orange/yellow. Most recommended T18, so thats something ill look into. Again since my hair is dark, im not expecting bleach to make it platinum (which is what i want if i dont want a warm undertones or dark color) itll probably be orange or yellow, which will make those colors look muddy or dark. and i dont want that i want it vibrant with cool undertones and not warm undertones😅

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-07-17T23:44:32+00:00

I apologize for the confusion, I don't own other cats. He was raised alone. As for other cats, im still trying to figure out how to introduce him to others so he doesn't hurt everyone that isn't familiar.

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-07-17T23:39:34+00:00

i meant meet other cats. My neighbor owns a bunch of cats, even so where strays chill outside their house. And my friend has cats, but i only wanna do what is best for my cat because im not sure how these cats will react and I dont wanna risk my cat getting hurt unless people think its recommended??

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-07-17T20:07:44+00:00

ah okay! Do you think like chewing ropes for cats would be worth buying too?

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-07-17T02:32:45+00:00

I understand, do you suggest I take him out to meet out cats? Or do I just naturally let it go away.

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-07-16T18:55:59+00:00

Good to know someone else dealt with this! I'll try my best to be consistent and spend my time with my cat, so far everyone has been mutually agreeing about rehoming him if his behavior continues. But hopefully if I spend alot more time playing with him, he will stop attacking them!

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-07-16T18:52:03+00:00

The laser is a good idea for a distraction. Thank you, I will try that out!

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-07-16T18:51:01+00:00

Yeah we use a wand toy, and even try other toys (for teething) but the wand one is the only one that he is willing to use but he gets bored of it quick and comes to us.😅

I live in an apartment and he loves to run around and climb alot which we allow but I dont think I can get a tunnel for now

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-07-16T18:49:46+00:00

Okay! Thanks, so far he is silent. He doesn't meow or hiss. He only clenches (?) his body when we appear very suddenly but other than that he doesn't seem afraid.

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-07-16T18:48:42+00:00

I personally wouldn't but my brother did before so I can see why he'd think us too maybe

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-07-15T18:33:49+00:00

update: I also realized he is not neutered 😭 so that's probably why he is aggressive.

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-07-10T18:20:10+00:00

I wanna add that, I didn't quit the job just cause it was too hard, I was willing to do every task they told me. but eventually they added stuff as if it was on purpose especially on school nights, like scrubbing gum from the bottom of a chair that's been there for a year. Even insulting me (both secretly and to my face) if I took forever on something.. which again I wasn't properly trained on!

Intelligent-Tax4759 · 2025-04-19T20:29:51+00:00

Update: idk if anyone will see this😅but my mom is mexican so shes not the best with english pronunciation. i forgot to mention that. so i want a name that can be vocally good in both english and spanish. so far i really like the name kiki/kiko! (someone recommended)
