I spend my weekdays getting parts together so I can get things done on the weekend.
Supramania eases the anxiety alot cause the next best thing to driving it, is working on it to drive it.
This site is like a support group of others with the same interest in keeping their Sup' running good.
Knowing that my Sup' is my property and nobody has dibs on it makes a big difference too.
The only thing that has stopped me in 2 years is 105 degree heat. In fact I didn't drive it for most of the summer cause of the AC being broken (now fixed). BUT I would go out to it on a Friday night and drive it around. Even got up a few times at 8 am to take it out before the roads got congested and it got too hot out.
If I had a garage at my place then the waiting for parts would kill me....

Woot! :biglaugh:
I sit and contemplate engine swaps and their pros/cons... I then try to decide how I could finance the project... wonder how in the heck I'm gonna get it to my house, wonder how I'll be able to work on it here... wonder how long it'll take the wife to start complaining about the car 'just sitting' in the garage... Try to remember how it rides with all the new suspension bits I put on it right before I sold the drive train. lol
But ussually, I forget I have it...

When I can't drive my Supra I play Redline Legal Street Racing and drive the supra I downloaded off a site. Hey a junkie has to get his fix...right?
But you know you have Supratitis when you find yourself sitting in the car late at night thinking and dreaming about the things you will do.

I used to feel really bad when I was not able to drive it. I don't seem to feel that way about my current 2 cars though. I guess it was just a first car thing.
I do all of the above. Then I go and watch videos on youtube and think about how bad ass my car is going to be. Then I play Forza 2 on ForceFedSupra's flat screen and make a mkiii that outruns the Chrysler ME 4-12 by bus lengths. Then I work on everyone else's supra, which makes me feel a little better :love:
Forza 2, and beating my dd's on old logging road high speed chicane sections like I was Colin Mcrae.
My supra is currently running, and my DD is a 01 tacoma and my current project is a 91 cressida and I havent even been able to drive yet . Hopefully this weekend the motor will be back in it

The longest time mine has ever been down was this summer when I was swapping in a 2jz. My car doesn't stay down for more than a week.
make turbo noises when i drive my DD and pretend it is accelerating much faster than it is. And this is bad cause i got rid of my 88 turbo almost a year ago. Oh and also pretending its a manual at the same time
lol, i drive my "other" straight six turboed vehicle about 3000 miles a week, 3-4 weeks at a time.
i get home, i don't wanna think about driving, anywhere.
makes it realy easy to forget my supes sitting in a field 45 min away
