How old were you when you got your first Supra?

[Icy Supra]

I was 19 when I got my first Supra, it was a MKII, loved it, I did have trouble with it though, I had to re build the motor, I did learn a great deal about doing engine work then. :icon_bigg

I've driven a supra since 16. It was my sisters. Wouldn't let me drive it too much. I finally got tired of driving my moms van. 1990 AT NA Targa. It wasn't fast enough. I went MT 1JZ. Learned a lot from this car! Still have it and hope to keep it like that!

Mine was purchased at 20. Had it now for over 2 years and it never ceases to put a smile on my face .

19, 89 hardtop 5 speed, bought it from a friends brother.
3 months after owning it owned me with the fuel pump wire shorting out.
fixed it 6 months later. the the galley filled up with oil replaced the valve
cover gaskets.

no problems since, now it has minor RK.
And will be turbo soon.

i guess it all depends how much you trust your kids. i'm glad my parents didn't pay an instructor to teach me. in fact, i didn't even really take any classes when i got my license by age 16. I did get my Mk3 and 93 Camry for free though. However, I did pay for my own mk4.

18, Saved from the crusher at a local junkyard. I bought it with a BHG NA motor and a blown auto tranny with no interior, It was my first car. Since then I've dumped tons of blood and sweat (and some money) into it to make it a reliable Turbo 5spd Daily Driver with bolt-ons. I hope to keep this car as long as I can.

I got my first "Celica Supra" when I was 15 from my brother inlaw for $500. It was the N/A 2.8Lt IL6, Auto Trans.. Heavy and slow... but in very very nice shape...it had like two rust spots on the back and the inside was mint...I sold it because it needed a little motor work and I didnt have the money and my Dad sold me his truck...I bought my current car fall of last of last year and picked it up from my uncles race shop in Alabama in may. check out the pictures on my profile!

25, December of 2007, 87 Turbo 5-speed. Was into Nissans before the supra.

Let me think (I'm old so be patient!!). . . I've owned it for 16 years . . .

(Old enough to know better) - 16 years = "Old".

OK, so I was "Old" when I bought it . . .

Not as old as Ian -- I think there are hills younger than him -- !

When I was 4 I bought my first one. An 84 P type. I miss that car...

 

[topguncam3888]

[foreverpsycotic]

I got my 89 NA/5speed about 1 week after my join date on here. Now it is a 1jz-gte in search of 400whp on pump gas.

I got my first, and current supra at 16 which i still am now. I get it delivered to the garage i work at tomorrow morning and im soo excited. Its a 1987 Supra N/A MT. I would definitely go turbo, but insurance is bad enough on the N/A! When i went to go look at the car before i bought it, it was in near mint shape with 198,000Kms on the odo. Its been rustproofed every year since new and is part of the original owners family still, until i take it over tomorrow. At first glance it's a really nice car, that could use paint on the hood due to recent sanding and priming. But even that didnt catch my attention. As soon as the seller let me start it up and take it for a test drive, THAT's when i got diagnosed with the "Nothingbutasupra" disease. When i got it out on a industrial road and he said "open it up a bit", its was music to my ears. I love that car and will barely sleep tonight thinking that 13 hours from now the supra will be mine!

I'm in full support of all you supra enthusiasts out there and encourage you on keeping them for as long as you can!

Thx

Between all of the cars I've had (88T targa 5 speed, 89T hardtop auto, 86 Corolla GT-S, 93 Miata), the Supras have had the lowest insurance. The difference in insurance between N/A and turbo is usually negligible.
