So I left houston around 11am Fri morning. Took the supra to about 80 (I have that sports package that came with 4.30 gears... 80mph +5th gear = 3600rpms)

Drove fine all the way there, at one point at night, I had to make my second stop for gas, turned off the car, and coolant spewed out of my overflow tank, it all kinda came outta the radiator, into the tank and onto the ground, and after I turned it on it wouldnt take the coolant back, so i bought some, refilled it and it was fine, temp didnt fluctuate or anything after that. (it only fluctuated when i turned it abck on after the coolant loss)

Anyways, so at another point, my Supra emblem from the front came off and I thought it was gone. The next day I popped the hood to check oil, it was under the cowl of the hood next to the windshield!! hahaha.

There are BUGS all over the damn front of the car, its gross. Also I lost about 1 1/2 qts of oil makin the trip. I need new valve seals dammit.

Anyways, Im still setting up, me and my roomie are working on deckin out the place. Entertainment is all taken care of so far haha. 50in plasma, nice as entertainment center, xbox360, home theatre system to name a few.

I think I might also work on giving the car a present while Im here in town... :)

Oh really? Just surprised me, I remember back when I was running with the domestic crowd, even 4.10s were unheard of in a manual transmission car, people were too scared lol.

The sports package was headlight washers, LSD, TEMS, and sport roof. Or something along those lines. LSD and the sport roof were all available seperately on the 7MGE also.

Oh, well I do know mine came with the sports package for sure, I just thought the gears were part of it. I have all the rest, cept TEMS no longer works.

on another note, I really like this place so far.
