Welcome! I was pretty much just out of high school when the awesome intercooled '86s came out. I figured I would NEVER be able to buy one. Well, I bought my first T-Type in '90 and have since owned three TRs! With some hard work and perserverance, you'll get your chance!
FWIW, my 18 year old daughter literally yells "NO" at me whenever I mention the thought of selling our WE4. As a matter of fact, I let her take it down the 1/4 mile the other weekend. Her first time EVER driving down the track solo she ran a 12.5@112... not bad!
