yeah, I get frustrated with her sometimes, look at all the oil she's spilled on my driveway..
but then I wash/wax/polish her and say "Damn, that's a sexy bitch"...

Technically, the Supra is considered a "Luxury GT" (Grand Tourer)...which means a combination of luxury and performance... The Supra is NOT just a sports car.

The Supra is even in their list of Grand Tourer's.

I was gonna put mine up for sale a few days ago, my mind said "yes", my heart says "no". I have way, way too much $$$$ in it. Sometimes not even worth it to sell, but for a long time now, I've been leaning towards a C6 Z06.

That's exactly what I was going to say. I can't see how anyone would see a 3500+lbs car with a 230 horsepower engine "sporty". Just because the car doesn't have a friggin cup holder doesn't mean it's meant to be a stripped out race car.
What a bloody idiot...
ive wanted to sell mine many times. mostly when it breaks. ive also gotten some pretty solid offers for it too.
but i just look back at her busted ass and realize, shes my bitch. im not her bitch!

For it being a 20 year old car that isn't that bad. I think Toyotas are very reliable, there is a guy who lives in my town with an MK1 that has 250,000 miles on it and he drives it everyday with no problems at all. It is rusted to hell but still runs. I told him I'll buy it when it breaks down and he told me that might be awhile lol
You should keep it and get a DD

I was driving down a loal freeway last night at very elevated speeds.
I fucking love this car.
When it works.

I feel the same way most of the time - it's nice to be different. These cars are unique...The only time it's NOT good to have a different car, is when you're getting pulled over by PO-PO all the time. Cops probably think I'm some punk kid or something just because I have an 80s sports car with a big wing and chrome rims.

You're right - I've always said that. Try buying something new for under 30 grand that has everything listed here. You won't find it. It makes selling a car like this for 2 or 3 grand tops not even worth it. Better to keep the car, what the hell is 2 or 3 grand anyways...that's nothing. You can't even find a decent comparable car for that price.

Dude, tell me about it. I've always loved your mk3 - I've seen it a few times up at Englishtown. You've definitely got a lot of time/money/blood/sweat & tears invested. You shouldn't sell that thing unless you absolutely have to, or if the price is right.

I am definitely leaning towards keeping it garaged and taking it off the road for winters once I can find a DD that gets at least 30mpg highway. I don't want to drive a bucket, though - I want something at least semi-nice. I work too hard to force myself to settle for driving a geo metro or an old cavalier every day.
All this supra needs is new rear rotors, and a new battery. The timing belt is due to be changed for the second time (has about 60k miles on it now) but I know a guy that got 120k miles on his timing belt on his Dodge Intrepid, and it never broke. You just have to pop the cover and examine it every so often for cracks and tears.

I felt the same way this week - ONLY when it's running great. Even with my lowly non-turbo..it screams. Nothing like being able to pass out losers on the highway that try to mess. The 7M pulls hard and fast from 50-80 mph.

Don't most Supra owners feel this way? :biglaugh:
I'd sooner drive the car into the ground before I'd sell it. For all the money I've dumped into it, I am kinda stuck with it.
I keep thinking about selling mine....but i want a turbo. thats my main reason. i have my heart set on a turbo with a jz, or a swap, or just totally throwing out the sportscar (or gt) theme and going with a 4runner. always loved those...
but then i walk by with her sitting in the garage and realize i have the only black supra in my county... (that i've seen, and i've seen several) and its just nice to have people come up to me and talk/ask about my car. you just dont get that with a car more common and i dont even drive around town that often! if i had more to do in town i wouldn't be surprised if i got a lot more people complimenting me....
but i do want to sell it.
and another thing...it would be hard getting more than 3k out of a n/a...and ive probably put more than that into it.... ah well.
yeah so i'm in the same boat. i dont know what to do.
if i knew enough to see how clean my chassis and body was (how close it is to perfection) i'd just wait for money to do a swap.... but i dont know how to figure that out.
