I just graduated from medicine after working my ass off for the past 10 years, and at the risk of sounding like a huge faggot, I've been thinking of getting into the "scene" by finally getting a car I like and putting money into it and hanging out with other car people. I currently drive an econobox and I dunno, I'm 32 and I guess I'm sorta getting into a mid-life crisis and I don't really have any friends outside of work. Is this a good idea y/n?
Joining the Tuner Scene

get into the drift or track scene near you and go all out, you'll make lots of friends

first of all don't call it the tuner scene.
second, what's your budget and what are you genuinely interested in?
Also hanging out with other car people tends to be pretty lame not even joking. Just enjoy your car and hopefully youll find cool people to hang with.

Hanging out sucks dick if you're autistic enough to find Veeky Forums. I suggest finding a deserted back road you enjoy driving and buying a sportscar of your choice.

The first thing to decide is how badly you want this. The hobby car you get will HAVE to be your second car. Keep your econobox as a daily drive and have the fun car for weekends. This frees you up to allow the fun car to be something unreliable like a Mazda RX7 or a VAG product. That's the right way to do it

The car scene around here is like fucking prison, I have to hang out with the nazis to not get killed.

What do the millennials call it now?
>what's your budget and what are you genuinely interested in?
budget is around 50k. I love jap and german shit. Recently I've been considering getting a clean 90's NSX, but I think I'd rather just get something that I wouldn't feel guilty about if I want to trash it around and put a bunch of tasteless mawds on it, like a BRZ or something

I went out to good spots around midnight on weekends and met people, hooned together . Tried normal car meets in parking lots etc, all loser hard parkers. Even the guys out in the mountains at 1am Sunday morning are scum bags ripping on a car they stole from a hard parker six hours earlier...

I dont know but calling it a tuner scene is just corny and reminds me of NFS, which is also corny.
for less than 25k you can scoop up a clean R32 GTR, either one thats already been imported here or one slightly cheaper if you were to find one in japan and import it here.
here one for 25k

BRZ/FRS is another great choice.
