my first "car" was the family minivan..... an 89 toyota 4x4 turbo egg van.
i hated that pos. my dad told me "when it dies il get you something else".
i tried my best to kill it... it had 300000 plus miles on it when i got it.... but alas i could not kill it. i ran it in the mud, had it airborn, drove the piss out of it. but it would not legitamately kill it! i bought myself a 72 chevy blazer and gave the van to my older brother to use as a work van. when he traded it off it had 700000 miles on it and still ran great.

says a lot for toyota!

i'm bad, i'm nationwide
Started out on texas backroads in a 78 datsun pickup long long ago. parents sold it to me for 500, i sold it a few months later for 700, have been thru about 30 vehicles since then. When i discovered supras, it was kinna a fluke. i was still in my off-roading phase(had three jeeps at the time)the third f&f flick was about to come out, i knew that rwd imports were about to go thru the roof. so i saw my 83 sitting in the back of a garage with a blown clutch, and picked it up for 300, thinking it would flip in a couple of months for a good margin. turns out i bought out the "wrong" toyota. i needed a project, and i had always wanted a sbc swapped import. attending SILV sealed the deal for me. everyone except for elhsupra from cs had the same swaps. few years later, im still not working on it.(fing divorce hell)


my real driving career? a week in school and i was off and running!

my first experience with cars was matchbox/hot wheels cars, played with them as long as I could remember. My first car was a 1992 honda accord ex, I had plans to turbo it with a Mitsubishi 14b turbo but that car got freaky and decided to quit working. I had borrowed cars as I had a low end job(toyota t100, honda accord, mercury sable) and got my first supra jan before last from Boost Lee. I managed to buy a red turbo targa that was in better shape and was more complete from tanner, only to junk the blue one due to stupid neighbors calling the city. 1 year and 4 months and I never driven a supra yet.... :(
