Can You Find A Skyline At A Salvage Yard?

Can You Find A Skyline At A Salvage Yard?

Here in the U.S or at Asia?

would it be hard to put these in the road?

cus my dad said that i can go get a car from the salvage yard if i get enough

and me and him can go fix it up cus hes an expert at restoring and fixing cars

so far i have saved up over 10,000 throughout the years

and i got 2 more years till i can legally drive

Skylines were never officially sold here in the USA, so you're definitely NOT going to find any in the junkyards in the USA.

I don't think you should get a Skyline, especially for someone who still has 2 years to LEGALLY drive. No way. Get yourself a car that you can first start learning on. Get some driving experience before thinking of getting a Skyline. You'll need a hell of a lot more than $10,000 to be able to drive a Skyline legally on American soil.

Driving and driving responsibly are two different things. Being that you're quite new to driving and quite young (I assumed that from the fact that you said you have 2 years to drive legally), the last thing you should be in is a powerful car. I still say that you should look for a different, less powerful car.

Did you get this from watching "that" movie.......

Australia and Asia will have some in their junkyards, but not the states.

wooo there!

i wanted the same thing but my friend has one n california and i drove its no joke i was glad i didnt buy one....i doubt you would find a skyline because most of people who drive them are more experienced at driving and when they do get n a wreck insurance probably covers it trust me you gotta be a big balla if you want a skyline for your first car if the skylines price dont eat you up then insurance company sure as hell will

I'm sure he'll let you drive the Supra, but he won't let you anywhere near the driver's seat of the Skyline.

i just came back from my neighbors house

he let me try out his skyline but first i had to let him clean out his garage

then he let me drive his supra for like 10 minutes

then let me drive the skyline out with him

i had to drive him to the store and to the bank in his skyline for the whole time

the skyline he has is pretty powerful

but i like it because its powerful

i had no difficulty driving it

makes me wanna go buy one

Yup, I don't know how someone would trust a 14 yr. old in CA traffic with a Skyline. I call BS too now.
