My first car was a 1982 Supra 5-spd that was somewhat of a rust bucket and the AC never worked but it never left me stranded commuting from NY to AL for school quarterly.
My second car was a black 1986.5 N/A 5-spd with grey cloth that I liked even better but again had no AC and caught some cancerous rust. I was driving it on my first date with my wife of 12 years.
I haven't had a Supra now for about 12 years but am itching to get a MKIII as a weekend driver.
I am not the most mechanically inclined but do enjoy working on cars and changing brakes, doing tune ups, etc. Even if I had the skill of most of you guys I don't have the time or space to any major work.
One of the reasons I like the MKIII is they seem to be fairly reliable when taken care of properly but I haven't had a turbo and they seem to be much more common. Am I going to be OK with a turbo or am I going to be disappointed with the level of maintenance involved? I was originally looking for a 1990+ N/A 5-spd and a targa top would be a bonus.
A ton of great info on this site. Thanks Matt
