[Supras] Why are we like we are?

[Jim Jobe]

because like your brakes, nobody would be willing to give me
my asking price.

give me your brakes so this list will no longer have to read
your bitching about them.

I cannot answer that question other than to say that there is a certain nostalgic feel to owning a MKIII Supra - an addiction that is purely erotic, in a sense.

Since I cannot afford to put her in an electrical shop, I am often found upside down in the floorboard with one leg on the roof of the car and the other hugging the seat for leverage - and being teased about being a contortionist. Still yet, I refuse to give up.

The younger kids constantly pry me with information, asking how fast the car is, whats under the hood, etc. Every time I venture out, someone comments on what a pretty car I drive. At least once a week, someone wants to buy it. I figure this - if there is such value in my Supra, it will only go up in value, so why sell ? I love my car so much that if she were to go down, I would cover it and let the tires sink into the ground.

With its exotic look, the MKIII Supra is sleek and mean. Its comfort and handling is simply awesome. I don't care how long it takes me - or how much it costs, I will one day complete the mods (Level 4 completion) and will then, rest.
