First car questions?

Ok... im 15, a little too young for a first car but i might as well plan ahead So, the basics, i want something sporty (yes i am aware of insurance costs for teens driving sports cars) favorably imported (japanese or euro) cheap enough to be a first car, not too fancy but can be fast if you fix it up right. I dont really want to be one of those people with a crappy civic that has a brand new body kit or any ricer for that matter. As much as i would like to own either a skyline (illegal unless modified for US standards)rx7 (hard to find and maybe a bit pricey) supra (also pricey) and nsx (just plain damn expensive), none of those are even close to my price range and time. Something that is fairly decent looking and doesnt get laughed at when it passes by. It doesnt have to be a total chick magnet but i would like it so seem nice with the ladies. My only other alternative would be a crotch rocket but i'd probably kill myself :) . Any suggestions? please try to be polite and non-sarcastic
