I bought my supra a few years back and I have only driven it a total of maybe 5,000 miles. It's the one I wanted sense I was fifteen so I would never sell it. Plus all the Supra guy's I hang out with have really nice car's so there is no lack of inspiration. Just keep your head up high and you will have it running in no time!

I drive my aristo... Albit with the boost at 8 PSI in the snow (got stuck on the driveway on the way home) lol..

When drive I bust out the overboost button and hit 18 PSI on the stock twins ;)
400 WHP keeps a grin until I drive 650 in the summer... (that gives me a smile ear to ear)

I was fine until Jeff (7MBoost) made me drive his - now I'm putting my nose to the grindstone to finish my own Supra!

I've been driving this girls golf for the past week... she lets me drive it to work, to get food, i've just been working on the supra after work... its not that bad i guess, but having no boost is FTL...

I have 6 Supras in Gran Tourismo... a few of them are brand new MkIII's that I haven't done anything to yet. I have a MkIV, but I haven't even driven it yet. It's theraputic to take the old Toyota and try to tune it to outrun Grand Touring cars on a track.

In real life however, my Supra resides under a snowbank infront of my friend's house in another town. I'd go insane if I had to walk by it every day.

I've somehow found contentment in driving a 3.4L 4Runner with an auto, I can't figure out why but... somethings you just shouldn't argue.

Like how you dont have to constantly be on the look out for speed bumps and potholes. Or not have to worry about how far to pull foward when parking to not scrape your bumper. Sometimes easy is underrated...:icon_bigg

I just keep working on it, an hour or two a day. But this thing called a job, really gets in the way. But I have never sat in the drivers seat and made engine noises. It will be great when you finish it!!!
