best thing youve overheard about your supra
- Thread starter dsm_tuner260
- Start date
So how long till it blows again? Nice, when did you get a 240? and the most asked I get is what car is that?
I was crusing with Duane, and had Mattsplat with me and some kid in a sti pulled up and wanted to go. So I dropped into 3rd as he booted it and I pulled hard on him through 3rd and 4th, like 15-20 car lengths atleast. So Im now in 5th bringing the car back to a cruising speed and I see him weaving through traffic to catch up to me. When he finally does he yells over at me "duuuuuuuude, that thing is fucking retarded" and give me a thumbs up. So I gave him a downshift and another viewing of the open wastegate.
Another time I was out cruising around and I decided I really want to grab a slice of mega bite pizza. Its downtown Vancouver right on Granville. Club row pretty much, its like the central party street. So I find myself somewhere to stop, a sign that states "no stopping" but I figure fuck it, Im going to be 30 feet away for about 1 minute. I get back and theres a couple drunks standing near my car. Im not to worried I just kind of wonder wtf, did I hit someone, is there blood on my car or something? No, they just saw me pull up from the bar accross the street and decided to come out and have a look. So Im talking to them, and I pop the hood. Now theres a crowd, like 5 more people stop and have a look. As this is going down a cop pulls up and parks in front of me. I figure he's going to give me shit for parking in a no stopping zone, nope he tells me its a great looking car and that he'll leave his cruiser in front of mine so no one else can park there and hit mine. He walked to another cop car and that guy pulled in behind me, so Ive got a crowd and a parked police escort.
I get a lot of comments, I find the car is a real conversation starter. Even old bikers like fast cars, and Im starting to notice that other people have taken note that supra's (especially "old ones") are just like the wu-tang clan, aint nothing to fuck with.

Lastnight I visted my freind on house arrest and he was like "Dude, what happened to the 240, why arent you driving it?"
"why are you even bothering?" straight from the mouth of a toyota machanic that has been working on these since 1980 heheheh.
Rolled into EuroCarnival here in California, mainly Europeans obviously and lots of Ferraris and Lamborghinis and Porsches and 3 Teslas haha and while rolling in with my friend also in his MK3 I heard some people looking at my car saying "oh they are just old Supras"......damn ferrari owners haha

:icon_bigg That's awesome, reminded me of something similar.
Took 3 friends down to a road on campus that is dedicated to sub shops, pita places, the like. Parked in a spot that just opened up, must have been a Friday or Saturday night, was actually pretty busy. We walk around trying to find a place to eat and decide to leave because there are lines out the door for every place.
Walking back to my car I step out into the road to make sure my car is where I think it is, and lo and behold, two people are LYING ON THE HOOD. What the shit.
I walk up and switch personas: now a drunk/stoned college moron like them
Me: "Whoa dude, this is an awesome car man! It's beautiful, is it yours? What is it?"
Dude: "Yeah it's mine bro"
Girl: "It's an 86 DeLorean!"
...
Me: "It's yours, huh?"
Dude: "Yeah it's mine *sits up* what's it to you?"
Me: "Because its MY FUCKING CAR, ASSHOLE. Get the fuck off before I beat the shit out of you"
Dude: "I don't believe you. Unlock it *insert hand signal of remote unlock*"
I go and unlock it, stare at him, slam the door and march over to him as he's backing up into the street. His girl grabs my arm and starts rambling incoherently about how awesome DeLoreans are and where I got it.
The guy tries to apologize, shake my hand and asks me "do you want to know what you won?" People started gathering now, so I decided to ignore him and leave.
In the car, started it up...guy is still apologizing and saying nice to meet you, girl is still babbling, and a few people in the road/on the sidewalk are laughing and gave me a wave/thumbs up as I drove off.
Honestly, I would have rather avoided it but eh, a story is a story.
LOL, the nerve of some people. There are a few people who are too scared to let me take them for a test drive. One of them (who didn't have a choice) said "don't kill me," to which I replied "don't plan to."

ive gotten that one too. Another i get from the gf alot if she cathces me grinning slightly as I downshift and then get on it: "i hate you"
My wife squeels everytime I get on it. A while back I was following my friend who was in a bad mood so he was flooring it everywhere in his granny car. I go maybe 40% throttle to keep up with him, get pulled over by a cop. The cop asks me why I was driving so fast and I reply "I wasn't even at half throttle, just keeping up wiht my friend since I don't know where I'm going." The cop gave me a perplexed look then told me I had a brake light out and let me go.

THats great about the cop. WHen I got pulled in my Supra (n/a with headers and a 2.5 strait exhaust), the cop walked up to my window, grinned, and with a slight southern accent said: "i done heard you coming", then proceded to wright me a speding ticket when I admitted that i was speeding. He cut me a break tho, and put down i was doing 10 over instead of 25 over.
I always hear people talk about my mk3s condition lol but it usually goes like this: "that old supra looks cool....but it's non turbo....lame"
First thing someone asks about my car is...... 1j or 2j? im like 7m.. -_- most of them have a confused face after lol
for me...
Two guys talking to each other in Oreilly's: "thats a super clean supra, dams its nice" then they went & checked it out...
4 girls in the car, in the back i hear two talking to each other "oh shit were in a race car!!" lmao....
another day, 4 other girls in the car again... im on the freeway, i heard one say "oh shit oh shit oh shit, TURN OFF THE TURBO!!! Is he crazy" lmao.. not a compliment to the supra but i thought it was funny & 3 of the girls were use to my driving so theyre always chill & i be shifting at 3-3.5K rpms.. theyre all the same when they get in for the 1st time & get use to it. :naughty:

At a local car show/meet
"whoa, what is this?"
"duh, its an old Supra"
"...never seen one before"
"you'll never see one like this around here... get a good look"
as I walk to the car, stand back as amazed guy takes a picture.
Hop in, back out and let him take another pic out in the open as he's giddy as can be.
informed guy shouts "awesome car!"
As I was leaving, cop directing traffic in the street gave me the "spin them" gesture and a thumbs up, paying no mind to the 4" exhaust. lol
that was a rarity, usually it's the
"is that a supra?!"
"yep"
"Is it yours?!"
"yep"
"is it turbo?!"
"yep"
"is it TWIN TURBO?!?!?!!"
"nope"
"aw, that's too bad."
"not for me. isn't that your hyundai"
"yeah"
"THAT's too bad."
