My car is suffering from the same demons as Setheroos! The Supra gods read my post about how crappy the factory alarm is, so I am being punished! Knowing full well that my factory alarm is possessed, I locked the car last night. I rarely ever lock it. I unlocked it from the PS door, got in...

Awesome! Love how you accessorized with the rachet, jack stands and the oil catch-can under the car. I say open up the calendar to any guys that want dress up to fill in.. IJ, is that you??? ;)

Men in drag or women ? :naughty:

And that was my car's original interior color - tampon red. Thats very accurate.

Way to go Tanya! Now if you get a picture of yourself working on the sup in a bikini and post it on SM there would be chaos! Perhaps we need to get a female supra owner calendar going. If we can't get 12 women, then perhaps some of the guys would volunteer to dress in drag. (Suprahero?) ;)

I never thought of the dark blue as being gay. I liked it in my 91, but it was hot in the summer. I did ask the appraiser if having a non-factory color combo would hurt the value and he said no, not if it was easy on the eye. I've had 4 Supras (2-87s, 90, 91) and all had electrical problems...

No harm done! Thanks for the insurance lesson. It was very interesting. And I still have it because you never know when I'll need it again ;)

BEWARE! Something supernatural is involved here! The Supra gods have blessed him doubley! Easy to activate the factory alarm: 1. lock your doors 2. attempt to unlock your door with your key 3. lights flip up, flash, horn blares YOUR FACTORY ALARM IS WORKING NORMALLY! Sarcasm aside, I've...

If I wreck the car (and no harm or minimal harm to others), then I will decide if I turn it into the insurance company. Alot of other factors come into play within that situation. I've only been at fault for one wreck in my life, and I totaled that car (hey if you're going to go, go all out!)...

I've read many an instance where the supra owner bought the car back from the insurance company for parts. I guess anything is negotiable. There is a point where collision coverage is a bad idea. And there is a point where its a good idea. On my policy the difference between full and...

$1500 was for AC and airbag. Naw, previous owner pulled the front airbag sensors out plus the a/c. Probably when the engine got replaced. If I'm not mistaken, he wanted to race the car. The appraiser (who also does accident reconstructions) did not see enough damage to the car to indicate...

Absolutely! And I should've put this in my original post. I went to my auto insurance company (Grange) first. They stated we would have to do an agreed value based on an appraisal. I asked for the name of the appraiser they wanted me to use, but she wouldn't give me any names, she said just get...

You will likely see the value of your car drop. Remember,the economy has an impact on appraisals! Jeff, I divorced Mr. Abusive, so its just Ms. Abusive now ;) I would have been stunned to get the car valued at $10.5k. Better yet, send me the handsome bachelor with the $10.5k in his bank...

This car is still very much stock. This is my fourth sup in the past 5 yrs, so I know the market well. Economy sucks. I would be lucky to get someone to pay $6k for this car as it stands today. That is why he suggested getting it re-appraised. First, the economy will improve. Second, I will soon...

Well, I took my car to an appraiser and it was a rather interesting experience, thought I would share what I learned. My goal here is to have the insurance company value the car higher than book in case of an accident. The dollar amount I am looking for is $7500. Kelly bluebook today is $3500...

Yep, got a different seat. Problem solved ;) Seriously, told it was not worth the effort, the seat rails are worn out. One of those racing seats might be best because they are much lighter, as long as you don't care about the power options..

I thought chocolate was ??

Anytime I come across a grounding wire I go ahead and take it apart, clean both surfaces up with a bit of steel wool, and put it back together snug. I did that to a ground I found under the console and my rear wiper started working :dunno: When Alan tied a loose ground back up under the tranny...

Johnathan1 - you have the coolest .sig on here. It really sums up the love/hate relationship we have with these cars..

I've had three autos, all were high-mile cars (>130k). All shifted hard, all stock. Recently my current auto (90t) got a new transmission pump. Now, this car shifts noticeably smoother than the other two autos. I don't know what mileage toyota recommends replacing the tranny pump, but my car has...
