I love to write and take pics so if you like to read and look at pics join my journey in injoy it like i have for the goods and bads. so lets start with my first incounter of the supra mk3.
HISTORY WITH MY NEW LOVE.
It was a cold ass winter day here in cow town back in 2009, think it was january or somthing. i was minding my own bussness working on a customer vehical. A flat bed tow truck came in to are parking lot with a black 1987 toyota supra turbo. dident think much of it at the time do to being bussy. The tow truck driver just happend to park it in the back parking row facing my work bay, just dumped her right in to a snow bank with no cair in the world. After awial it was tormenting me seeing her looking in to my bay. she almost looked like she was wimpering one light down and the other half up, with the front bumper dug in to the snow she looked like it was frowning haha, i awaited anchessly stairing at the work order board to find out what the car needed so i could be the one to work on it, But that time never cam. I talk to the service advisors about it but no one seemed to know what it was there for. It was not till about a week later my boss came to me and sayed '' look at my new project'' instent jelusy across my face. My boss just wanted to rub it in because he new i had allready fell in love with the car. some time went by, and the car was never tuched. So at that time i sayed to my self looking at the car through the glass of the shop '' one day you will be mine and never look like this again''. i bugged my boss alot cuz he never worked on it not even to just look at it. about 2 years went by since it first showed up, I started beleaving it was just going to dissapear and there was nothing i could do about it. My love was lost. i decided i would look for somthing cheap i can build up, working in the shop i was acustomed to realy nice and fast cars driving them daily. I decided i would look for the next best thing and found a 89 240sx hatchback. that monday morning i asked the boss if i could park the car i was about to buy in the parking lot...... lown anbehold the question.
''WILL YOU BUY MY SUPRA''
as i stude there all dumb founded i did not know what to say. it was like a perposal so of corse i sayed yes. i never found this car it found me. It was ment to be. and like i sayed it would never be treated like it was in the past. after the snow started melting i decided to pull her out of the snow bank and see what i had. after cleaning her up this is what she looked like.
